phosphor-react-native

Phosphor is a flexible icon family for interfaces, diagrams, presentations — whatever, really. Explore all our icons at phosphoricons.com. Inspired by phosphor-react.

Installation

1yarn add phosphor-react-native react-native-svg

or

1npm install --save phosphor-react-native react-native-svg

Usage

Simply import the icons you need, and add them anywhere in your render method. Phosphor supports tree-shaking, so your bundle only includes code for the icons you use.

1import React from 'react';
2import { View } from 'react-native';
3import { HorseIcon, HeartIcon, CubeIcon } from 'phosphor-react-native';
4
5const App = () => {
6  return (
7    <View>
8      <HorseIcon />
9      <HeartIcon color="#AE2983" weight="fill" size={32} />
10      <CubeIcon color="teal" weight="duotone" />
11    </View>
12  );
13};

Typescript support

If you get this error...

Property 'className' does not exist on type 'IntrinsicAttributes & IntrinsicClassAttributes<Svg> & Pick<Readonly<SvgProps>, "children" | "style" | ... 144 more ... | "fontVariationSettings"> & InexactPartial<...> & InexactPartial<...>'

Add this code to your global.d.ts file

1import type { SvgProps as DefaultSvgProps } from 'react-native-svg';
2
3declare module 'react-native-svg' {
4  interface SvgProps extends DefaultSvgProps {
5    className?: string;
6  }
7}

Props

Icon components accept all props that you can pass to a normal SVG element, including inline style objects, onClick handlers, and more. The main way of styling them will usually be with the following props:

• color?: string – Icon stroke/fill color. Can be any CSS color string, including hex, rgb, rgba, hsl, hsla, named colors.
• size?: number | string – Icon height & width. As with standard React elements, this can be a number, or a string with units in px, %, em, rem, pt, cm, mm, in.
• weight?: "thin" | "light" | "regular" | "bold" | "fill" | "duotone" – Icon weight/style. Can also be used, for example, to "toggle" an icon's state: a rating component could use Stars with weight="regular" to denote an empty star, and weight="fill" to denote a filled star.
• mirrored?: boolean – Flip the icon horizontally. Can be useful in RTL languages where normal icon orientation is not appropriate.
• title?: string – Accessibility label
• titleId?: string – Accessibility label ID
• testID?: string – testID for tests
• duotoneColor?: string – Duotone fill color. Can be any CSS color string, including hex, rgb, rgba, hsl, hsla, named colors. Default value to black.
• duotoneOpacity?: number – The opacity of the duotoneColor. Default value to 0.2.

Context

Phosphor takes advantage of React Context to make applying a default style to all icons simple. Create an IconContext.Provider at the root of the app (or anywhere above the icons in the tree) and pass in a configuration object with props to be applied by default to all icons:

1import React from 'react';
2import { View } from 'react-native';
3import { IconContext, HorseIcon, HeartIcon, CubeIcon } from 'phosphor-react-native';
4
5const App = () => {
6  return (
7    <IconContext.Provider
8      value={{
9        color: 'limegreen',
10        size: 32,
11        weight: 'bold',
12      }}
13    >
14      <View>
15        <HorseIcon /> {/* I'm lime-green, 32px, and bold! */}
16        <HeartIcon /> {/* Me too! */}
17        <CubeIcon /> {/* Me three :) */}
18      </View>
19    </IconContext.Provider>
20  );
21};

You may create multiple Contexts for styling icons differently in separate regions of an application; icons use the nearest Context above them to determine their style.

Imports

You may wish to import all icons at once for use in your project, though depending on your bundler this could prevent tree-shaking and make your app's bundle larger.

1import * as Icon from "phosphor-react-native";
2...
3<Icon.SmileyIcon />
4<Icon.FolderIcon weight="thin" />
5<Icon.BatteryHalfIcon size="24px" />
6<Icon.AirplaneTakeoffIcon size="24px" mirrored={true} />

In cases where tree shaking does not work (resulting in large bundle size), you can import icons individually in this format:

1// Javascript
2import { StarIcon } from "phosphor-react-native/lib/commonjs/icons/Star";
3
4// Typescript
5import { StarIcon } from 'phosphor-react-native/src/icons/Star';
6
7<StarIcon size="24px" />
