Ionicons for React Native

This library uses the open sourced Ionicons v5.

Should work and look exacly like it would on the ionic-framework. If not, feel free to create a new issue.

I know there are good other libraries out there which do exacly the same, but I encountered some issues like coloring, or they use old v4/v3 icons. Plus with this library you can use StyleSheets to style the icon (color and fontSize). As long as ionic doesn't change the way the icons work or remove the "Designer pack" download, this library should be easy to maintain, since there is only one script to run to generate the icons.

Installation

This library uses react-native-svg to display the icons, so we must first install that dependency.

Installation guide from react-native-svg (for expo etc)

React Native CLI:

$ npm install react-native-svg --save

Link native code (on a mac):

$ cd ios && pod install

Now install this package

$ npm install @julianbaumann/react-native-ionicons@latest --save

Usage

import { Ionicon } from "@julianbaumann/react-native-ionicons";

...

const styles = {
    Icon: {
        fontSize: 30,
        color: "red"
    }
}

return (
    <Ionicon name={"code-slash"} style={styles.Icon} />

    <Ionicon name={"code-slash"} size={30} color={"red"} />

    <Ionicon ios={"code-slash-outline"} android={"code-slash"} />
)
