FontAwesomeIcon icon prop interface doesn't accept string

[Ryan-Maia]

I was trying to use use the component with Global Import using the library.add() method.

This is the way I'm trying to use it: <FontAwesomeIcon icon="fa-solid fa-bars" />

But when I pass a string to the icon prop, it show's me this error: Type '"fa-solid fa-bars"' is not assignable to type 'IconProp'.

I look up the interface definition for the Props (node_modules@fortawesome\react-native-fontawesome\index.d.ts) and added a string option to the icon prop like this:

export interface Props {
  icon: IconProp | string;
  ...
}

But this change is only temporary on node_modules. I don't know if this is a issue or if there is a correct way to do this. Please someone help me out!

Hey!
To save changes on node_modules you can use patch-package (https://www.npmjs.com/package/patch-package) however, you should consider rising an issue/discussion in https://github.com/FortAwesome/react-native-fontawesome repository as this issue isn't related to react-native-svg.
