string twitterIcon = FontAwesome.Brands.Twitter;
string checkIcon = FontAwesome.Solid.Check;
string heartIcon = FontAwesome.Regular.Heart;

With MudBlazor

@using Iconizit

<MudIcon Icon="@FontAwesome.Solid.Home" />
<MudIcon Icon="@FontAwesome.Brands.Github" />
<MudIcon Icon="@FontAwesome.Duotone.Bell" />

With MAUI

<Label FontFamily="FontAwesome.Solid" Text="{x:Static iconizit:FontAwesome.Solid.Star}" />

Using the Search Service

using Iconizit;

var searchService = new SearchService();

// Get all available icon style classes
var iconClasses = searchService.GetFontAwesomeClasses();
// Returns: ["Brands", "Duotone", "DuotoneThin", "Light", "Regular", ...]

// Get icons from a specific style with optional filtering
var icons = searchService.GetPagedFilteredIconsByClass(
 typeof(FontAwesome.Solid), 
 filter: "arrow",
 excludePro: true // Only show free icons
);

foreach (var icon in icons)
{
 Console.WriteLine($"{icon.Name}: {icon.Value} (Pro: {icon.Pro}, Free: {icon.Free})");
}

Icon Attributes

Each icon has attributes indicating its availability:

• [Pro] - Icon is part of Font Awesome Pro
• [Free] - Icon is also available in Font Awesome Free

// Check if an icon is Pro-only at runtime
var field = typeof(FontAwesome.Solid).GetField("Check");
bool isPro = Attribute.IsDefined(field, typeof(ProAttribute));
bool isFree = Attribute.IsDefined(field, typeof(FreeAttribute));
