import { SFSymbol } from "react-native-sfsymbols";

export function Example() {
  return (
    <SFSymbol
      name="sun.and.horizon"
      fallback="sun.haze.fill"
      weight="semibold"
      scale="large"
      color="red"
      size={16}
      resizeMode="center"
      multicolor={false}
      style={{ width: 32, height: 32 }}
    />
  );
}

They can be animated with Animated

import { Animated } from "react-native";
import { SFSymbol } from "react-native-sfsymbols";

const AnimatedSFSymbol = Animated.createAnimatedComponent(SFSymbol);

<AnimatedSFSymbol
  name="sun.min.fill"
  style={{
    opacity: new Animated.Value(1),
  }}
/>;
