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.
