Spark Icons
This is a fork of React Icons with some spark icons added
Include popular icons in your React projects easily with spark-icons
, which utilizes ES6 imports that allows you to include only the icons that your project is using.
Installation (for standard modern project)
yarn add @uswitch/spark-icons
npm install @uswitch/spark-icons --save
example usage
import { FaBeer } from '@uswitch/spark-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';
Installation (for meteorjs, gatsbyjs, etc)
If your project grows in size, this option is available.
This method has the trade-off that it takes a long time to install the package.
yarn add @uswitch/spark-icons.all-files
npm install @uswitch/spark-icons.all-files --save
example usage
import { FaBeer } from "@uswitch/spark-icons.all-files/fa/FaBeer";
class Question extends React.Component {
render() {
return <h3> Lets go for a <FaBeer />? </h3>
}
}
Icons
You can add more icons by submitting pull requests or creating issues.
Configuration
You can configure react-icons props using React Context API.
Requires React 16.3 or higher.
import { IconContext } from "@uswitch/spark-icons";
<IconContext.Provider value={{ color: "blue", className: "global-class-name" }}>
<div>
<FaFolder />
</div>
</IconContext.Provider>
Key | Default | Notes |
---|
color | undefined (inherit) | |
size | 1em | |
className | undefined | |
style | undefined | Can overwrite size and color |
attr | undefined | Overwritten by other attributes |
title | undefined | Icon description for accessibility |
Migrating from version 2 -> 3
Change import style
Import path has changed. You need to rewrite from the old style.
import FaBeer from '@uswitch/spark-icons/lib/fa/beer';
class Question extends React.Component {
render() {
return <h3> Lets go for a <FaBeer />? </h3>
}
}
import { FaBeer } from '@uswitch/spark-icons/fa';
class Question extends React.Component {
render() {
return <h3> Lets go for a <FaBeer />? </h3>
}
}
Adjustment CSS
From version 3, vertical-align: middle
is not automatically given. Please use IconContext to specify className or specify an inline style.

Why React SVG components instead of fonts?
SVG is supported by all major browsers. 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.
