How to add font-awesome icons to website menu items in yii2?

Question

Yii

There is a menu in yii2, for example, of the following form:

echo Nav::widget([
        'options' => ['class' => 'navbar-nav navbar-right'],
        'items' => [
            ['label' => 'Home', 'url' => ['/site/index']],
            ['label' => 'About', 'url' => ['/site/about']],
            ['label' => 'Contact', 'url' => ['/site/contact']],
            Yii::$app->user->isGuest ?
                ['label' => 'Login', 'url' => ['/site/login']] :
                [
                    'label' => 'Logout (' . Yii::$app->user->identity->username . ')',
                    'url' => ['/site/logout'],
                    'linkOptions' => ['data-method' => 'post']
                ],
        ],
    ]);

How can I add a font-awesome icon before a menu item?
