Include popular icons in your React projects easily with react-icons, which utilizes ES6 imports that allows you to include only the icons that your project is using.
yarn add react-icons
# or
npm install react-icons --saveexample usage
import { FaBeer } from "react-icons/fa";
function Question() {
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';
Note This option has not had a new release for some time. More info #593
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 @react-icons/all-files
# or
npm install @react-icons/all-files --saveexample usage
import { FaBeer } from "@react-icons/all-files/fa/FaBeer";
function Question() {
return (
<h3>
Lets go for a <FaBeer />?
</h3>
);
}You can add more icons by submitting pull requests or creating issues.
You can configure react-icons props using React Context API.
Requires 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 | Notes |

Import path has changed. You need to rewrite from the old style.
// OLD IMPORT STYLE
import FaBeer from "react-icons/lib/fa/beer";
function Question() {
return (
<h3>
Lets go for a <FaBeer />?
</h3>
);
}// NEW IMPORT STYLE
import { FaBeer } from "react-icons/fa";
function Question() {
return (
<h3>
Lets go for a <FaBeer />?
</h3>
);
}Ending up with a large JS bundle? Check out this issue.
From version 3, vertical-align: middle is not automatically given. Please use IconContext to specify className or specify an inline style.
<IconContext.Provider value={{ style: { verticalAlign: 'middle' } }}>Component
<IconContext.Provider value={{ className: 'react-icons' }}>CSS
.react-icons {
vertical-align: middle;
