$ npm install @fortawesome/react-fontawesome
Font Awesome React component using SVG with JS
Version 3.0.0 is a major update for react-fontawesome with the library being rewritten from plain JS to TypeScript,
amongst a number of performance improvements and optimisations to the FontAwesomeIcon React component.
While it is a major update, there should be no breaking changes aside from those noted in the Compatibility section below.
With the release of FontAwesome v7, we have marked v5 as End-of-Life. Both v6 and v7 will continue to be supported.
In react-fontawesome v3.0.0 we have also dropped support for End-of-Life versions of React and Node.js as well as IE11 browser support.
If you need to use react-fontawesome with legacy versions, please consult the table below.
| React version | react-fontawesome version | FontAwesome Core versions | Node versions |
|---|---|---|---|
| >= 18.0.0 | 3.x.x | 6.x, 7.x | 20.x, 22.x, 24.x |
| >= 16.3.0 | 0.2.x | 5.x, 6.x, 7.x | 18.x, 20.x |
