Question

I am using the marvelouse react-icons package (http://gorangajic.github.io/react-icons/fa.html), specifically the font awesome package.

If this was not react, then I wou

Answer 1

In reactjs you can use size = 'with your preferred size which be from sm to lg or 1x to 10x'

this is example for font awesome 5 in react

<FontAwesomeIcon icon={faBars} size = '10x'/>

Answer 2

if you want a 5x icon size you need to pass it to the react class as size

// Font awesome pixel sizes relative to the multiplier. 
// 1x - 14px
// 2x - 28px
// 3x - 42px
// 4x - 56px
// 5x - 70px

<FaFolderOpen size={70} />

if you notice it jumps by 14 each time

from the github readme it shows everything is overridden inline. its rendering a svg so you cant use 5x you have to use a pixel size

Answer 3

You can use this:

<FaFolderOpen size="4x" />

Answer 4

If you need to style several icons simultaneously, you can wrap them to IconContext.Provider.

<IconContext.Provider value={{color: 'navy', size: 42}}>
   <FaFacebook />
   <FaGithub />
   <FaLinkedin />
</IconContext.Provider>
