This library is a compatibility layer around @oblador/react-native-vector-icons to work with the Expo asset system. If you're using React Native without Expo, you have no need for this library -- carry on! (or maybe check out Expo).
👀: this library does not provide access to react-native-vector-icon's
Icon.getImageSource()
function for generating images from icons at runtime (for context on why, see this issue). If you find yourself needing an icon in the form of an image rather than text, you should generate that image yourself and bundle it with your app.
- @expo/vector-icons directory - a searchable list of all included icons.
- Expo documentation
This library is part of the expo
package, so if you are using expo
you can simply use it like so
import React from 'react';
import { Ionicons } from '@expo/vector-icons';
export default class IconExample extends React.Component {
render() {
return <Ionicons name="md-checkmark-circle" size={32} color="green" />;
}
}
for more usage see Expo icons documentation
