No styling or icons appear when I use a mdbreact component - Footer

Question

I am building a simple landing page and wanted to make a footer component for the same. I used the npm command npm install --save mdbreact to install the dependency and copied the following snippet of code from the mdb website.

import React from 'react';
import { Col, Container, Row, Footer } from 'mdbreact';

export class FooterPage extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <Footer color="stylish-color-dark" className="page-footer font-small pt-4 mt-4">
                <Container className="text-left">
                    <Row>
                        <Col md="6">
                            <h5 className="text-uppercase mb-4 mt-3 font-weight-bold">Footer Content</h5>
                            <p>Here you can use rows and columns here to organize your footer content. Lorem ipsum dolor sit
                            amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.</p>
                        </Col>
                        <hr className="clearfix w-100 d-md-none" />
                        <Col md="2">
                            <h5 className="text-uppercase mb-4 mt-3 font-weight-bold">Links</h5>
                            <ul className="list-unstyled">
                                <li><a href="#!">Link 1</a></li>

                        </Col>
                        <hr className="clearfix w-100 d-md-none" />
                        <Col md="2">
                            <h5 className="text-uppercase mb-4 mt-3 font-weight-bold">Links</h5>
                            <ul className="list-unstyled">

                        </Col>
                    </Row>
                </Container>
                <hr />
                <div className="text-center py-3">
                    <ul className="list-unstyled list-inline mb-0">
                        <li className="list-inline-item">

                <hr />
                <div className="text-center">

                </div>
            </Footer>
        );
    }
}

export default FooterPage;

Now the problem is that the component appears on the main page but with no styling or icons. What it should look like:

How it actually looks:

Can someone help me with how to get the styles and icons working?

Answer 1

You need to add ---- import 'mdbreact/dist/css/mdb.css' ----

they may be some deviation in icon's because am using old icon set.

Also to get the icons to work you need to install fontawesome package using npm install --save react-fontawesome And then include it's CSS using the following line import 'font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css';
