Easily use your FontAwesome Pro icons in React-Native

react-native-fontawesome-pro

Easily use your FontAwesome Pro 5.1 icons in React-Native.

v2 of this module takes advantage of enhancements in FontAwesome 5.1’s JS Package Cleanup and provides access to 409 new icons.

Upgrading from v1?

If upgrading from a v1 installation uninstall the previous prerequisite FontAwesome packages:

npm uninstall --save @fortawesome/fontawesome-free-brands @fortawesome/fontawesome-pro-light @fortawesome/fontawesome-pro-regular @fortawesome/fontawesome-pro-solid

yarn remove @fortawesome/fontawesome-free-brands @fortawesome/fontawesome-pro-light @fortawesome/fontawesome-pro-regular @fortawesome/fontawesome-pro-solid

Installation Prerequisites

Create a .npmrc file in the root of your project and the line below. Replace YOUR-TOKEN-HERE with your FontAwesome Pro token which you can find in your Font Awesome account https://fontawesome.com/account/services. More info: Font Awesome docs: Using a Package Manager
```
 @fortawesome:registry=https://npm.fontawesome.com/
 //npm.fontawesome.com/:_authToken=YOUR-TOKEN-HERE
```
This will allow you to download the pro solid, regular and light font packages from the fontawesome pro repo.

Install the FontAwesome Pro packages ( you will not be able to install them without the previous step )

 npm install --save @fortawesome/pro-light-svg-icons @fortawesome/pro-regular-svg-icons @fortawesome/pro-solid-svg-icons @fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons

 yarn add @fortawesome/pro-light-svg-icons @fortawesome/pro-regular-svg-icons @fortawesome/pro-solid-svg-icons @fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons

Install react-native-svg

 npm install --save react-native-svg

 yarn add react-native-svg

Link react-native-svg
```
 react-native link
```
…or if you only want to link the single library:
```
 react-native link react-native-svg
```
Note: Rebuilding the app for any simulator/emulator is required after running react-native link.

Installation

npm install react-native-fontawesome-pro --save

yarn add react-native-fontawesome-pro

The postinstall script will then automatically install the pro packages for you.

Usage

Configure FontAwesomePro in your main app.js file. Optionally set the default font from "regular" to "solid" or "light":

import { configureFontAwesomePro } from "react-native-fontawesome-pro";

configureFontAwesomePro();
// configureFontAwesomePro("solid");
// configureFontAwesomePro("light");

Add icons to a component:

import Icon from "react-native-fontawesome-pro";

<View>
  <Icon name="chevron-right" color="red" type="regular" onPress={() => alert("do something")} />
  <Icon name="chevron-right" color="blue" type="solid" size={24}/>
  <Icon name="chevron-right" color="green" type="light" size={10} />
</View>
