Add Font To React Js

[Yoana Terrano]

Allof the style toolkit features available for general web use are also available in the official Font Awesome React component. Note, however, that the syntax is different from our general web-use documentation.

When using the @fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core package this behavior is disabled by default. (We would highly recommend you use FontAwesomeIcon if you can) This project uses that core package so you will have to explicitly enable it like this:

Typings are included in this package. However, most types are defined in the underlying API library, @fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core. Suppose that in one module, you add all fas icons to the library:

Several types, including IconLookup and IconDefinition, appearing above, actually originate from the @fortawesome/fontawesome-common-types package. They are re-exported from both @fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core and @fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons (and other icon packs). This is just to make importing more convenient in some cases. Refer to the index.d.ts in any module to see which types it exports.

You change this configuration value to false so that the Font Awesome core SVG library will not try and insert elements into the of the page. Next.js blocks this from happening anyway so you might as well not even try.

In HTML, font is used to specify the font face, size, and typography. You can add fonts to your React application in different ways. This article explains three quick ways of adding fonts to your React app.

In some situations, you may not be allowed to connect to a font repository online and link/load it. A classic example is, your app users use intranet and they have restricted access to the internet. The fonts must be downloaded locally and packaged within the app in these situations.

In order to include custom font files in your React app, you will first need to get the font files in the format (usually .ttf, .otf, or .woff). There are many websites where you can download free and paid fonts, such as

When downloading font files from these websites, check the licensing terms to ensure that you are allowed to use the fonts in your project. Some fonts may require attribution or may have limitations on use in commercial projects.

Including fonts in your React app is a simple and effective way to enhance the visual appeal of your project. By using Google Fonts or custom font files, you can customize the typography of your app to match your branding and design style. We hope this tutorial has been helpful in showing you how to include fonts in your React app using both methods.

In the following example, the nested title and body text will inherit the fontFamily from styles.baseText, but the title provides its own additional styles. The title and body will stack on top of each other on account of the literal newlines:

Both Android and iOS allow you to display formatted text by annotating ranges of a string with specific formatting like bold or colored text (NSAttributedString on iOS, SpannableString on Android). In practice, this is very tedious. For React Native, we decided to use web paradigm for this where you can nest text to achieve the same effect.

The element is unique relative to layout: everything inside is no longer using the Flexbox layout but using text layout. This means that elements inside of a are no longer rectangles, but wrap when they see the end of the line.

You also lose the ability to set up a default font for an entire subtree. Meanwhile, fontFamily only accepts a single font name, which is different from font-family in CSS. The recommended way to use consistent fonts and sizes across your application is to create a component MyAppText that includes them and use this component across your app. You can also use this component to make more specific components like MyAppHeaderText for other kinds of text.

(Developer) React components are designed with strong isolation in mind: You should be able to drop a component anywhere in your application, trusting that as long as the props are the same, it will look and behave the same way. Text properties that could inherit from outside of the props would break this isolation.

(Implementor) The implementation of React Native is also simplified. We do not need to have a fontFamily field on every single element, and we do not need to potentially traverse the tree up to the root every time we display a text node. The style inheritance is only encoded inside of the native Text component and doesn't leak to other components or the system itself.

Overrides the text that's read by the screen reader when the user interacts with the element. By default, the label is constructed by traversing all the children and accumulating all the Text nodes separated by space.

On iOS, these roles map to corresponding Accessibility Traits. Image button has the same functionality as if the trait was set to both 'image' and 'button'. See the Accessibility guide for more information.

Accessibility actions allow an assistive technology to programmatically invoke the actions of a component. The accessibilityActions property should contain a list of action objects. Each action object should contain the field name and label.

Used to truncate the text with an ellipsis after computing the text layout, including line wrapping, such that the total number of lines does not exceed this number. Setting this property to 0 will result in unsetting this value, which means that no lines restriction will be applied.

The responder has been taken from the View. Might be taken by other views after a call to onResponderTerminationRequest, or might be taken by the OS without asking (e.g., happens with control center/ notification center on iOS)

When the scroll view is disabled, this defines how far your touch may move off of the button, before deactivating the button. Once deactivated, try moving it back and you'll see that the button is once again reactivated! Move it back and forth several times while the scroll view is disabled. Ensure you pass in a constant to reduce memory allocations.

TextLayoutEvent object is returned in the callback as a result of a component layout change. It contains a key called lines with a value which is an array containing TextLayout object corresponded to every rendered text line.

So what we have to do is go into our application and go into main.scss. Now scroll up to about line 15 where we have body, and right beneath these initial values of like font-family, color. Let's enter a value called -webkit-font-smoothing and we want to set this antialiased.

Now that's how you do that. Now let's go ahead and add in a few more that you won't really notice but it's going to affect things in different browsers and it's going to make it work in different browsers like Firefox. So let's say -moz-osx-font-smoothing and let's say greyscale and then let's say text rendering and let's say optimize legibility.

Okay so if you want to test that out, just comment these lines out and then save it and then really quickly go to Chrome and you can see a change, and then look back and forth you'll see that it looks bad again but when we have those lines in there it looks really clean and smooth.

Sweet, so that's all I wanted to show you in this video. Let's navigate back to some different routes just so you can see it throughout our app. You'll see that everything is quite a bit cleaner and you can test this by basically doing what I just did. Like going up here and commenting this out, oops not everything that's not a good idea. I'm curious now, let's comment everything out and see what it looks like.

Dang, the power of styles. Okay, so what we're going to do is put the styles back in and what I really want to do is save that and then let's comment these 4 lines we just put in it out, and we'll save it and let's see it change.

You'll see it's quite a bit fuzzier which is not good. So by having that in there it cleans it up quite a bit. All right so that's it for this video, I'll see you in the next video where we will continue on building our application and we will build out this ordered review component.

The first font is Oscine, and after adding the script into the tag, I should be able to use it in any css file just by using font-family: 'oscine', sans-serif;, but wherever I try to use the font, instead of using Oscine, uses Sans-serif, so that is the prove that I might be missing something.

Google has created over 2,100 official Material icons, each in five different "themes" (see below).For each SVG icon, we export the respective React component from the @mui/icons-material package.You can search the full list of these icons.

Each Material icon also has a "theme": Filled (default), Outlined, Rounded, Two-tone, and Sharp. To import the icon component with a theme other than the default, append the theme name to the icon name. For example @mui/icons-material/Delete icon with:

The Material Design guidelines name the icons using "snake_case" naming (for example delete_forever, add_a_photo), while @mui/icons-material exports the respective icons using "PascalCase" naming (for example DeleteForever, AddAPhoto). There are three exceptions to this naming rule: 3d_rotation exported as ThreeDRotation, 4k exported as FourK, and 360 exported as ThreeSixty.

The Icon component will display an icon from any icon font that supports ligatures.As a prerequisite, you must include one, such as theMaterial Icons font in your project.To use an icon simply wrap the icon name (font ligature) with the Icon component,for example:

Note that the Font Awesome icons weren't designed like the Material Icons (compare the two previous demos).The fa icons are cropped to use all the space available. You can adjust for this with a global override:

Both approaches work fine, however there are some subtle differences, especially in terms of performance and rendering quality.Whenever possible SVG is preferred as it allows code splitting, supports more icons, and renders faster and better.
