Easily use your FontAwesome Pro icons in React-Native

Requirements

• Create a .npmrc file in the root of your project and the line below. Replace TOKEN with your FontAwesome Pro token

@fortawesome:registry=https://npm.fontawesome.com/<TOKEN>

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/fontawesome-pro-light @fortawesome/fontawesome-pro-regular @fortawesome/fontawesome-pro-solid

or

yarn add @fortawesome/fontawesome-pro-light @fortawesome/fontawesome-pro-regular @fortawesome/fontawesome-pro-solid

• Install react-native-svg

npm install --save react-native-svg

or

yarn add react-native-svg

• Link react-native-svg

react-native link react-native-svg

Installation

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

or

yarn add react-native-fontawesome-pro

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

Usage

In your main app.js file

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

/* NOTE: Optional you can pass a prefixType into configureFontAwesomePro to change the default from "regular" to "solid" or "light" */

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

In your components

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

<View style={styles.container}>

</View>
