How do I use react-native-vector-icons with Expo?

You can use react-native-vector-icons in your Expo project by installing the package and linking it. Would you like a step-by-step guide?

Yes, please provide the steps.

First, install the package using npm or yarn: npm install react-native-vector-icons. Then, import the icons in your component like this: import Icon from 'react-native-vector-icons/FontAwesome';. Finally, use the icon in your JSX: <Icon name='rocket' size={30} color='#900' />.

Do I need to do anything else for it to work?

If you're using Expo managed workflow, you don't need to link the library manually. Just ensure you have the correct permissions in your app.json.

What if I want to use a different icon set?

You can use other icon sets like MaterialIcons or Ionicons by importing them similarly. Just make sure to install the specific icon set package if needed.
