This is the repository for the _official_ Font Awesome React Native component, _initialized_ by the team behind Font Awesome,
but intended to evolve over time with _community_ contributions.

# Ways to Contribute

## Ask a Question

Trying to figure out how to make it work? Or how to use it in your scenario?

1.  Review the [README](README.md)
1.  Get familiar with the documentation for the [SVG with JavaScript](https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/svg-with-js) implementation,
    the framework upon which this component is built. Sometimes the answers you need may be there.
1.  Post any remaining questions on [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/react-fontawesome) with the tag `react-native-fontawesome`.

## Report a Bug

1.  Use [Expo Snack](https://snack.expo.io/) to create a reproduction of the unexpected behavior
1.  [Open a new issue with this template](https://github.com/FortAwesome/react-native-fontawesome/issues/new?template=bug_report.md),
    and be sure to include a link to the reproduction you made with Expo Snack.

## Submit a Pull Request

# Project Goals

1.  Achieve and maintain feature parity with Font Awesome's [SVG with JavaScript](https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/svg-with-js) method.

1.  Keep with best practices in the React Native development community.

1.  Stay current with major developments in React Native and `react-native-svg`

1.  Maintain a reasonable level of consistency between this component and the 
    official Font Awesome [React component](https://github.com/FortAwesome/react-native-fontawesome). 

1.  Sharing responsibility: The Font Awesome team will continue to be involved in ongoing development, hoping to _propel_
    the project's momentum as we make _our_ contributions, while minimizing any bottle-necking that may happen as we balance
    our own priorities across various projects. Ideally, members of the community will enjoy lending a hand to help keep
    the project moving forward by responding to issues, answering questions on StackOverflow, reviewing and merging pull
    requests, and publishing npm updates.
