Cound not find icon react-fontawesome

Question

I have a project on React and I need to integrate FontAwesome to it. I found official library and installed it as instructed in readme

$ npm i --save @fortawesome/fontawesome $ npm i --save @fortawesome/react-fontawesome 

When I try to use it in my code like this:

<FontAwesomeIcon icon='plus'/> <FontAwesomeIcon icon={['fa', 'coffee']}/> 

I am getting this error on the console:

Could not find icon {prefix: "fas", iconName: "plus"} Could not find icon {prefix: "fa", iconName: "coffee"} 

I tried to include FontAwesome css link to head but it didn't help. I am using npm v4.6.1; node v8.9.1; react v16.2.

You need to add any icons you wish to use, to a "library" for easy reference.

import React from 'react'; import { render } from 'react-dom'; import Hello from './Hello'; import fontawesome from '@fortawesome/fontawesome' import FontAwesomeIcon from '@fortawesome/react-fontawesome'; import { faCheckSquare, faCoffee } from '@fortawesome/fontawesome-free-solid'  const styles = {   fontFamily: 'sans-serif',   textAlign: 'center', };  fontawesome.library.add(faCheckSquare, faCoffee);  const App = () => (   <div style={styles}>     <FontAwesomeIcon icon="check-square" /><br /><br />     <FontAwesomeIcon icon="coffee" />   </div> );  render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));
