.Net Maui Icons

The .NET MAUI Icons - Font Awesome Solid library serves as a lightweight icon library, addressing icon and font icon management in .NET MAUI by offering controls that utilize the Free and Open Source Version of FontAwesome 6 Icons, seamlessly integrated into the library. Check out the Repository for Docs

Get Started

In order to use the .Net Maui Icons - Font Awesome you need to call the extension method in your MauiProgram.cs file as follows:

using MauiIcons.FontAwesome.Solid;

public static class MauiProgram
{
	public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
	{
		var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
		
		// Initialise the .Net Maui Icons - FontAwesome Solid
		builder.UseMauiApp<App>().UseFontAwesomeSolidMauiIcons();
	}
}

Usage

In order to make use of the .Net Maui Icons - Font Awesome Solid you can use the below namespace:

Xaml

xmlns:mi="http://www.aathifmahir.com/dotnet/2022/maui/icons"

C#

using MauiIcons.FontAwesome.Solid;

Workaround

if you came across this issue dotnet/maui#7503 when using new namespace, Make sure to create an discarded instance of MauiIcon in the codebehind like below


    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        // Temporary Workaround for url styled namespace in xaml
        _ = new MauiIcon();
    }

Built in Control Usage

Xaml

<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:FontAwesomeSolid Hashtag}"/>

C#

new MauiIcon() {Icon = FontAwesomeSolidIcons.Hashtag, IconColor = Colors.Green};

new MauiIcon().Icon(FontAwesomeSolidIcons.Asterisk).IconColor(Colors.Purple);

Xaml Extension Usage

<Image Aspect="Center" Source="{mi:FontAwesomeSolid Icon=Asterisk}"/>

<Label Text="{mi:FontAwesomeSolid Icon=Hashtag}"/>

C# Markup Usage

new ImageButton().Icon(FontAwesomeSolidIcons.Asterisk),

new Image().Icon(FontAwesomeSolidIcons.Hashtag),

new Label().Icon(FontAwesomeSolidIcons.GreaterThanEqual).IconSize(40.0).IconColor(Colors.Red),

new Entry().Icon(FontAwesomeSolidIcons.RankingStar).IconSize(20.0).IconColor(Colors.Aqua),

Disclaimer: It's important to note that not all controls are compatible with C# markup. We have conducted tests with the following controls in the current release: Label, Image, ImageButton, SearchBar, Editor, and Entry. Additionally, the native MauiIcon control, when combined with C# markup, can prove to be quite versatile and offer extra features for various scenarios.

Applying Icon To Text or Placeholder

Controls that Supports Placeholder, Can Assign the Icon To PlaceHolder or Text, Defaults to Placeholder but can be set to Text by Setting isPlaceHolder Parameter to False

new Entry().Icon(FontAwesomeSolidIcons.RankingStar, isPlaceHolder: false).IconSize(20.0).IconColor(Colors.Aqua);

new SearchBar().Icon(FontAwesomeSolidIcons.PenToSquare, isPlaceHolder: false);
