react-fontawesome

A React component for the font-awesome icon library.

• Simple API that mirrors Font Awesome's classes.
• Supports all Font Awesome modifiers (see API below).
• Add your own classNames, styles and other props (all additional props are passed directly to the component).
• Standard, non-ES6 JavaScript, so should work most places without a build step.
  • Packaged as a CommonJS/npm module.
  • Doesn't use JSX so no transforms needed.
  • Does not require a specific build process/tool other than something that supports npm.

Usage

var React = require('react');
var FontAwesome = require('react-fontawesome');

var MyComponent = React.createClass({
  render: function () {
    return (
      <FontAwesome
        className='super-crazy-colors'
        name='rocket'
        size='2x'
        spin
        style={{ textShadow: '0 1px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)' }}
      />
    );
  }
});

This component does not include any of the Font Awesome CSS or fonts, so you'll need to make sure to include those on your end somehow, either by adding them to your build process or linking to the CDN versions.
