Include popular icons in your React projects easly with react-icons
, which utilizes ES6 imports that allows you to include only the icons that your project is using.
Installation
npm install react-icons --save
Usage
import { FaBeer } from 'react-icons/fa';
class Question extends React.Component {
render() {
return <h3> Lets go for a <FaBeer />? </h3>
}
}
View the documentation for further usage examples and how to use icons from other packages. NOTE: each Icon package has it's own subfolder under react-icons
you import from.
For example, to use an icon from Material Design, your import would be: import { ICON_NAME } from 'react-icons/md';
Icons
You can add more icons by submitting pull requests or creating issues.
Configuration
You can configure react-icons props using React context API.
requirement React 16.3 or higher.
import { IconContext } from "react-icons";
<IconContext.Provider value={{ color: "blue", className: "global-class-name" }}>
<div>
<FaFolder />
</div>
</IconContext.Provider>
key | default | memo |

Migrate from version 2 -> 3
Change import style
Import path has changed. You need to rewrite from the old style.
import FaBeer from 'react-icons/lib/fa/beer';
class Question extends React.Component {
render() {
return <h3> Lets go for a <FaBeer />? </h3>
}
}
import { FaBeer } from 'react-icons/fa';
class Question extends React.Component {
render() {
return <h3> Lets go for a <FaBeer />? </h3>
}
}

Why ES6 import and not fonts
With react-icons
, you can serve only the needed icons instead of one big font file to the users, helping you to recognize which icons are used in your project.
