Not all icons are shown in react-native

Question

I added react-native-elemets and react-native-vector-icons. I am looking for the icons name in the official website and by selecting only free icons, and importing icons as following

import {Icon } from 'react-native-elements';


    <Icon
        name='comment'
        type='font-awesome'
        size={20}
        color={'grey'}
        style={styles.rightOption}
    />
    <Icon
        name='comment-dots'
        type='font-awesome'
        size={20}
        color={'grey'}
        style={styles.rightOption}
    />

Some of the Icons are being shown correctly line the comment icon, but some not like the comment-dot. Also circle-info is for example not working, an ? char is shown instead of the icon.

Answer 1

Are you using expo to deploy your app? If you are using some types of icons are not accepted. I will give you a example of icons if you are using Expo.

import { Icon } from 'react-native-elements';

...

<Icon size={13} name='chevron-circle-right' type='font-awesome' color='#E4AC19' />

I will let here the website for icons https://oblador.github.io/react-native-vector-icons/ and this is working only to font awesome icons, you should only use the icons which title on red topbar is FontAwesome
