Icon Types

There are mainly 3 types of icons available as below. By default all icons are solid (1000+ Icons) or Brands(450+ Icons). Those which also support Regular(150+ Icons) will end with "Regular" as suffix.

• Solid: FaIcons.ChartBar, FaIcons.AddressBook etc.
• Regular: FaIcons.ChartBarRegular, FaIcons.AddressBookRegular etc.
• Brands: FaIcons.Amazon, FaIcons.Airbnb

Usage

FaIcon composable is responsible for rendering icons. It requires icon passed to it from FaIcons collection.

 FaIcon(faIcon = FaIcons.ChartBarRegular)
 FaIcon(faIcon = FaIcons.ChartBar)
 FaIcon(faIcon = FaIcons.Amazon)

It has 3 params with default value as shown below

fun FaIcon(
    faIcon: FaIconType,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    size: Dp = 24.dp,
    tint: Color = Color.Unspecified
) 

To use different sizes

FaIcon(faIcon = FaIcons.Airbnb, size = 24.dp)
FaIcon(faIcon = FaIcons.Airbnb, size = 32.dp)
FaIcon(faIcon = FaIcons.Airbnb, size = 48.dp)

To provide different colors

Disclaimer: It does not uses Material theme LocalColors by default to support different custom design system. So you have to pass your colors.

FaIcon(faIcon = FaIcons.Airbnb, tint = MaterialTheme.colors.primary)
FaIcon(faIcon = FaIcons.Airbnb, tint = LocalContentColor.current)
FaIcon(faIcon = FaIcons.Airbnb, tint = Color.Blue)

To provide layout positioning, padding, gestures etc pass Modifier

FaIcon(
    faIcon = FaIcons.Amazon,
    modifier = Modifier.semantics { testTag = "Amazon Icon" }
)
FaIcon(
    faIcon = FaIcons.Amazon,
    modifier = Modifier
        .background(Color.Green, shape = CircleShape)
        .padding(8.dp)
)

// Usage with icon button for already available backgroud and clickable functionality. 
IconButton(onClick = { }, modifier = Modifier.background(MaterialTheme.colors.primary, shape = CircleShape)) {
    FaIcon(faIcon = FaIcons.Airbnb, tint = MaterialTheme.colors.onPrimary)
}

Using with TopAppBar or BottomBar in MaterialTheme

TopAppBar(
    title = { Text(text = "Instagram") },
    navigationIcon = { FaIcon(faIcon = FaIcons.Instagram, tint = LocalContentColor.current) },
    actions = {
        IconButton(onClick = { }) {
            FaIcon(faIcon = FaIcons.HeartRegular, tint = LocalContentColor.current)
        }
        IconButton(onClick = { }) {
            FaIcon(faIcon = FaIcons.FacebookMessenger, tint = LocalContentColor.current)
        }
    }
)

BottomNavigationItem(
    icon = { FaIcon(faIcon = FaIcons.Home, tint = LocalContentColor.current.copy(alpha = LocalContentAlpha.current))},
    selected = true,
    onClick = {},
)
