Font-Awesome VS heroicons

the i element is the icon of the button, I'm using fontawesome.com for the icon, the class fa-apple retrives Apple icon for us.

Icons: Fontawesome Development: HTML, SCSS, JavaScript Deployment: Github + Netlify

1. Font Awesome

For generic icons (i.e. you just need a d6 and not a system-specific d6 option), Foundry has Font Awesome which are easy to search, then copy and insert, and always look good inline.

The following is an example of defining Font Awesome:

Of course, we have many different ways of solving this problem. Some of the most common include pre-existing third-party icon libraries (such as Font Awesome), icons bundled into a third-party component library (like the Kendo UI Icons), or a completely custom set of icons designed and maintained by your design team. Obviously, going 100% custom will require more work (on both the design and dev side), but might be worth it to achieve a truly unique look – or if the UI will require icons for uncommon symbols or concepts.

The featured GitHub projects are dynamically retrieved through the power of the GitHub GraphQL API. The blog posts are seamlessly pulled in using the Dev.to API. Additionally, Redis is used to cache the GitHub and Dev.to API responses for 1 hour to reduce the number of API calls. Icons are provided by Font Awesome through their kit from the CDN. I've also implemented the new View Transition API feature to enhance the user experience.

Firstly, unlike the name https://fontawesome.com/ isn't for fonts.

We start with the toggle button. We want icons for this that we get from heroicons. Let’s create a new file in the ChannelList folder called Icons.tsx and paste the code for the icons here to have a solid separation:

7. Heroicons

Since we are on the mobile view we want to add a hamburger menu to toggle the links visibility. I am using heroicons. We use some basic react state to know whether or not the hambuger is open, and we conditionally render either the hamburger or an X.

Heroicons are SVG-based icons packaged by the creators of TailwindCSS. They come in two size variants, 20, which is suitable for small buttons and form elements, and a 24 size, that is useful for primary navigation buttons like call to action and hero sections. 24 size comes as solid and outline.

We have to install refine's support packages for React Table and React Hook Form. We are using Tailwind Heroicons for our icons, the Day.js library for time calculations and Recharts library to plot our charts for KPI data. So, run the following and we are good to go:

heroicons - Beautiful hand-crafted SVG icons, by the makers of Tailwind CSS.

These depedencies provide unstyled accessible components from headless ui, icons from heroicons and common hooks with typescript support.

To get started with our image modal implementation, i'll assume you already have a React project set up. For UI i’m using Tailwind CSS. But you can use any UI library as your wish. For the image cropping and rotating functionality, we'll be utilizing the react-easy-crop library. This library provides a simple and intuitive way to crop and interact with images and videos within a React component. We will also use the heroicons and classnames libraries in our tutorial. To install all the libraries and their dependencies, open your terminal and navigate to your project's directory. Run the following command:
