Font Awesome React component using SVG with JS

Documentation

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.

Compatibility

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.
