react-native-vector-icons: Using FontAwesome

const Icon = require('react-native-vector-icons/FontAwesome');

And I use it in my render method:

<Button>
  <Icon name='home' />                        
</Button>

Unfortunately at runtime, this blows up with this error:

How can I use Fontawesome icons in my react-native app?

Thanks for your help

You have to use import instead:

import Icon from 'react-native-vector-icons/FontAwesome';
