Fontawesome5 font for react native vector icons
npm install @react-native-vector-icons/fontawesome5Using the standard icons works just like the standard icons in this library.
``javascript
import { FontAwesome5 } from "@react-native-vector-icons/fontawesome5";
const icon =
`
Something special about the FontAwesome5 class is that you can also pass props
to change the style of the icon:
`javascript
import { FontAwesome5 } from "@react-native-vector-icons/fontawesome5";
const icon =
const icon =
`
Valid types
| Type | Description |
| ----------- | --------------------- |
| regular | Uses the Regular font |
| brand | Uses the Brands font |
| solid | Uses the Solid font |
No specified type indicates Regular font.
getImageSource works a little different due to its native backend and how the
font is separated into different files. An extra argument to specify the font
style is required.
Use this to select which style the generated image should have:
`javascript
import { FontAwesome5 } from "@react-native-vector-icons/fontawesome5";
FontAwesome5.getImageSource("solid", "comments", 30, "#000").then((source) =>
this.setState({ image: source }),
);
`
Use the @react-native-vector-icons/fontawesome5-pro` package instead.
