How To Use React Icons In NextJS

React Icons is a library that allows you to easily add scalable vector icons to your React projects.

One popular use case for this library is to include icons in a Next.js app. In this blog post, we'll go over how to use React Icons in a Next.js project.

First, you'll need to install the react-icons package in your Next.js project.

You can do this by running the following command in your project's root directory:

npm install react-icons

Once the package is installed, you can import and use any of the icons available in the library.

For example, to use the "Home" icon from the "Material Design Icons" set, you would import the icon like this:

import { Home } from 'react-icons/md';

Then, you can use the icon component in your JSX like you would any other React component:

<Home size={30} />

You can also customize the style of the icon by passing in a className prop, like this:

<Home size={30} className="custom-class" />

You can also import all icons from a specific set, for example for FontAwesome icons, you can use the following

import { faCoffee } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons'
import { FontAwesomeIcon } from '@fortawesome/react-fontawesome'

and use it like

<FontAwesomeIcon icon={faCoffee} />

You can also pass different props to the icon component to change its appearance, such as the size, color, and style.

Overall, using React Icons in a Next.js app is a simple and straightforward process.

With this library, you can easily add high-quality icons to your app and customize them to fit your design needs.
