Usage

Using the standard icons works just like the standard icons in this library.

import { FontAwesome6 } from "@react-native-vector-icons/fontawesome6";

const icon = <FontAwesome6 name="comments" />;

Something special about the FontAwesome6 class is that you can also pass props to change the style of the icon:

import { FontAwesome6 } from "@react-native-vector-icons/fontawesome6";

const icon = <FontAwesome6 name="comments" iconStyle="solid" />;
const icon = <FontAwesome6 name="git" iconStyle="brand" />;

Valid types

Type	Description
regular	Uses the Regular font
brand	Uses the Brands font
solid	Uses the Solid font

No specified type indicates Regular font.

getImageSource

getImageSource works a little different due to its native backend and how the font is separated into different files. An extra argument to specify the font style is required.

Use this to select which style the generated image should have:

import { FontAwesome6 } from "@react-native-vector-icons/fontawesome6";

FontAwesome6.getImageSource("solid", "comments", 30, "#000").then((source) =>
  this.setState({ image: source }),
);

Upgrading to Pro

Use the @react-native-vector-icons/fontawesome6-pro package instead.
