What are @fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons's main functionalities?

Importing and Using Icons

This feature allows you to import specific brand icons from the package and add them to the Font Awesome library. The `dom.watch()` method ensures that the icons are rendered correctly in the DOM.

const { faFacebook, faTwitter } = require('@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons');
const { library, dom } = require('@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core');
library.add(faFacebook, faTwitter);
dom.watch();

Using Icons in React

This feature demonstrates how to use the brand icons in a React application. By importing the `FontAwesomeIcon` component from `@fortawesome/react-fontawesome` and the specific icons from `@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons`, you can easily include these icons in your React components.

import { FontAwesomeIcon } from '@fortawesome/react-fontawesome';
import { faFacebook, faTwitter } from '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons';

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <FontAwesomeIcon icon={faFacebook} />
      <FontAwesomeIcon icon={faTwitter} />
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

Using Icons in HTML

This feature shows how to use the brand icons directly in an HTML file by including the Font Awesome CDN. The `fab` class is used to specify that the icon is a brand icon, followed by the specific icon class (e.g., `fa-facebook`, `fa-twitter`).

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <script src="https://kit.fontawesome.com/a076d05399.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
  <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
  <i class="fab fa-facebook"></i>
  <i class="fab fa-twitter"></i>
</body>
