material-symbols-react-native

An icon placer component for Google's Material Symbols to use with React Native.

Icons definitions are distributed as individual packages for reducing download size. Also, each icon can be imported separately to reduce build size.

It also works with ExpoGo.

Acknowledgements

This library uses the scripts of material-design-icons for downloading Material Symbols SVG's. Outstanding job!

This library is inspired in the mechanics of react-native-fontawesome. By far, the most beautiful icons ever made!
