Usage

---

Use a Font Awesome icon in any view:

import SwiftUI
import FASwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        FAText(iconName: "bomb", size: 200)
    }
}

You can also choose an alternate style. (This is ignored if the icon is a brand and currently duotone is not supported and will default back to regular.)

import SwiftUI
import FASwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        FAText(iconName: "bomb", size: 200, style: .solid)
    }
}

Set the color as you would any text.

import SwiftUI
import FASwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        FAText(iconName: "bomb", size: 200)
            .foregroundColor(Color.red)
    }
}
