React Font Awesome Icon Picker

Overview

react-fa-icon-picker is a strongly typed React icon picker for font-awesome icons.
react-fa-icon-picker-alen is a fork from react-fa-icon-picker to add new updates.

It contains both a picker component and an icon renderer.

The icons are also strongly typed.

Motivation

I feel like an icon picker is a pretty common requirement so I was surprised to find a lack of sufficient icon pickers in the React Ecosystem. The existing ones I found were not that great. As a result, I decided to roll my own.

Installation

Install via npm

``cli
npm install drlalensoftware/react-fa-icon-picker-alen
`

or yarn

`cli
yarn add drlalensoftware/react-fa-icon-picker-alen
`

Usage

The IconPicker component is just like any other picker component. The value prop is the icon that is displayed on the picker. When a new icon is selected, the onChange handler is fired.

`react
import * as React from 'react'
import { IconPicker } from 'react-fa-icon-picker-alen'

export default () => {
const [value, setValue] = useState("")
return (
setValue(v)} />
)
}
`

You can also use the IconPickerItem component to render the icon. This uses react-icons under the hood.

`react
import * as React from 'react'
import { IconPickerItem } from 'react-fa-icon-picker-alen'

export default () => (

)
``
