Advanced tools
Package description
@expo/vector-icons is a popular npm package that provides a set of customizable icons for React Native applications. It includes a wide variety of icons from different icon sets such as FontAwesome, MaterialIcons, Ionicons, and more. This package is particularly useful for developers looking to enhance the visual appeal of their applications with minimal effort.
Basic Icon Usage
This feature allows you to easily include icons in your React Native application. The example demonstrates how to import and use a FontAwesome icon.
import React from 'react';
import { View } from 'react-native';
import { FontAwesome } from '@expo/vector-icons';
const App = () => (
<View>
<FontAwesome name="home" size={24} color="black" />
</View>
);
export default App;
Customizing Icon Size and Color
This feature allows you to customize the size and color of the icons. The example shows how to use a MaterialIcon with a specific size and color.
import React from 'react';
import { View } from 'react-native';
import { MaterialIcons } from '@expo/vector-icons';
const App = () => (
<View>
<MaterialIcons name="alarm" size={48} color="red" />
</View>
);
export default App;
Using Different Icon Sets
This feature allows you to use icons from different icon sets within the same application. The example demonstrates the usage of Ionicons and Entypo icons.
import React from 'react';
import { View } from 'react-native';
import { Ionicons, Entypo } from '@expo/vector-icons';
const App = () => (
<View>
<Ionicons name="ios-add-circle" size={32} color="green" />
<Entypo name="aircraft" size={32} color="blue" />
</View>
);
export default App;

It supports multiple icon sets like FontAwesome, MaterialIcons, and Ionicons, similar to @expo/vector-icons. However, it requires additional setup for linking the native dependencies, whereas @expo/vector-icons is more straightforward to use with Expo projects.
