This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@react-native-vector-icons/fontawesome6) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
FontAwesome 6
Table of Content
Usage
Using the standard icons works just like the standard icons in this library.
import FontAwesome6 from 'react-native-vector-icons/FontAwesome6';
const icon = <FontAwesome6 name={'comments'} />;Something special about the FontAwesome6 class is that you can also pass props to change the style of the icon:
import FontAwesome6 from 'react-native-vector-icons/FontAwesome6';
const icon = <FontAwesome6 name={'comments'} solid />;
const icon = <FontAwesome6 name={'git'} brand />;Valid types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| brand | Uses the Brands font |
| solid | Uses the Solid font |
| light | Uses the Light font (pro) or Regular (Free) |
| thin | Uses the Thin font (pro) or Regular (Free) |
| duotone | Uses the Duotone font (pro) or Regular (Free) |
| sharpSolid | Uses the Sharp Solid font (pro) or Regular (Free) |
| sharpThin | Uses the Sharp Thin font (pro) or Regular (Free) |
| sharpLight | Uses the Sharp Light font (pro) or Regular (Free) |
| sharp | Uses the Sharp font (pro) or Regular (Free) |
No specified type indicates Regular font.
getImageSource
getImageSource works a little different due to its native backend and how
the font is separated into different files. Therefore, the enum FA6Style is
defined to help setting the style of the font:
const FA6Style = {
regular: 'regular',
light: 'light',
solid: 'solid',
brand: 'brand',
sharp: 'sharp',
sharpThin: 'sharpThin',
sharpLight: 'sharpLight',
sharpSolif: 'sharpSolid',
duotone: 'duotone',
thin: 'thin',
};Use this to select which style the generated image should have:
import FontAwesome6, { FA6Style } from 'react-native-vector-icons/FontAwesome6';
FontAwesome6.getImageSource('comments', 30, '#000', FA6Style.solid).then(
(source) => this.setState({ image: source })
);Not passing a style will result in Regular style.
Upgrading to Pro
Use the @react-native-vector-icons/fontawesome6-pro package instead.
