React Font Awesome Icon Picker

Overview

react-fa-icon-picker is a strongly typed React icon picker for font-awesome icons. It contains both a picker component and an icon renderer.

The icons are also strongly typed.

Motivation

I feel like an icon picker is a pretty common requirement so I was surprised to find a lack of sufficient icon pickers in the React Ecosystem. The existing ones I found were not that great. As a result, I decided to roll my own.

Installation

Install via npm

npm install react-fa-icon-picker

or yarn

yarn add react-fa-icon-picker

Usage

The IconPicker component is just like any other picker component. The value prop is the icon that is displayed on the picker. When a new icon is selected, the onChange handler is fired.

import * as React from 'react'
import { IconPicker } from 'react-fa-icon-picker'

export default () => {
  const [value, setValue] = useState("")
  return (
    <IconPicker value={value} onChange={(v) => setValue(v)} />
  )
}

You can also use the IconPickerItem component to render the icon. This uses react-icons under the hood.

import * as React from 'react'
import { IconPickerItem } from 'react-fa-icon-picker'

export default () => (
  <IconPickerItem icon="FaAdobe" size={24} color="#000" onClick={onClick} />
  )
