React Bootstrap 5 Icon

React Bootstrap 5 Icons are little images or symbols that can serve as a link, transmit information, or are merely aesthetic.

The Contrast React Bootstrap 5 Icon component allows you to use brand icons with predefined designs in your project, such as Twitter, Facebook, and Stack Overflow. However, only Pro users have access to this function.

Importing the React Bootstrap 5 Icon Component

To begin using the React Bootstrap 5 Icon component, import CDBIcon into your project.

js
import { CDBIcon } from 'cdbreact';

Default Icon

The CDBIcon component can be nestled inside another React Bootstrap 5 Component, in this case, the CDBBtn. Our buttons now have icons on them as a result of this.

js
import React from 'react';
import { CDBBtn, CDBIcon, CDBContainer } from 'cdbreact';
export const Icon = () => {
return (
<CDBContainer>
<CDBBtn color="primary">
<CDBIcon fab icon="stack-overflow" />
click me
</CDBBtn>
<CDBBtn color="secondary">
<CDBIcon fab icon="facebook" />
click me
</CDBBtn>
<CDBBtn color="success">
<CDBIcon fab icon="reddit" />
click me
</CDBBtn>
<CDBBtn color="danger">
<CDBIcon fab icon="twitter" />
click me
</CDBBtn>
<CDBBtn color="dark">
<CDBIcon fab icon="instagram" />
click me
</CDBBtn>
<CDBBtn color="warning">
<CDBIcon fab icon="google" />
click me
</CDBBtn>
</CDBContainer>
);
};

Border Icons

To give your icons a light, thin border, try the fab border icon prop.

js
import React from 'react';
import { CDBIcon, CDBContainer } from 'cdbreact';
export const Icon = () => {
return (
<CDBContainer>
<CDBIcon fab border icon="stack-overflow" />
<CDBIcon fab border icon="facebook" />
<CDBIcon fab border icon="reddit" />
<CDBIcon fab border icon="twitter" />
<CDBIcon fab border icon="instagram" />
<CDBIcon fab border icon="google" />
</CDBContainer>
);
};

Spin Icons

To spin your icons, you can use the fab spin icon prop.

js
import React from 'react';
import { CDBIcon, CDBContainer } from 'cdbreact';
export const Icon = () => {
return (
<CDBContainer>
<CDBIcon fab spin icon="stack-overflow" />
<CDBIcon fab spin icon="facebook" />
<CDBIcon fab spin icon="reddit" />
<CDBIcon fab spin icon="twitter" />
<CDBIcon fab spin icon="instagram" />
<CDBIcon fab spin icon="google" />
</CDBContainer>
);
};

Pull Icons

To shift the direction your prop is facing, use the fab pull prop.

js
import React from 'react';
import { CDBIcon, CDBContainer } from 'cdbreact';
export const Icon = () => {
return (
<CDBContainer>
<CDBIcon fab pull="left" icon="stack-overflow" />
</CDBContainer>
);
};

Pulse Icons

You can use the fab pulse icon prop to make your icons spin quicker than the fab spin icon would.

js
import React from 'react';
import { CDBIcon, CDBContainer } from 'cdbreact';
export const Icon = () => {
return (
<CDBContainer>
<CDBIcon fab pulse icon="stack-overflow" />
<CDBIcon fab pulse icon="facebook" />
<CDBIcon fab pulse icon="reddit" />
<CDBIcon fab pulse icon="twitter" />
<CDBIcon fab pulse icon="instagram" />
<CDBIcon fab pulse icon="google" />
</CDBContainer>
);
};
## Flip Icons
js
import React from 'react';
import { CDBIcon, CDBContainer } from 'cdbreact';
export const Icon = () => {
return (
<CDBContainer>
<CDBIcon fab flip="horizontal" icon="stack-overflow" />
<CDBIcon fab flip="vertical" icon="facebook" />
</CDBContainer>
);
};

Rotate Icons

To indicate the angle at which your icon should be rotated, use the fab rotate prop.

js
import React from 'react';
import { CDBIcon, CDBContainer } from 'cdbreact';
export const Icon = () => {
return (
<CDBContainer>
<CDBIcon fab rotate="90" icon="stack-overflow" />
<CDBIcon fab rotate="180" icon="facebook" />
</CDBContainer>
);
};

Sizes

The 'size' prop is used to indicate how big or small the icon should be. You can use this props to change the size of your Icon.

js
import React from 'react';
import { CDBIcon, CDBContainer } from 'cdbreact';
export const Icon = () => {
return (
<CDBContainer>
<CDBIcon fab icon="facebook" size="sm" />
<CDBIcon fab icon="facebook" size="md" />
<CDBIcon fab icon="facebook" size="lg" />
<CDBIcon fab icon="facebook" size="2x" />
<CDBIcon fab icon="facebook" size="3x" />
<CDBIcon fab icon="facebook" size="4x" />
<CDBIcon fab icon="facebook" size="5x" />
</CDBContainer>
);
};
