I was wondering if it is somehow possible to use the icons from the react-icons package in PrimeReact, since the primeIcons package unfortunately does not contain all the icons I need for my project.
I haven't found a solution for this, because react-icons exports the icons as components and PrimeReact gets the icons assigned by string.
To change say search icon in a button
you can access https://react-icons.github.io/react-icons/search?q=fasearch
right click on the icon and inspect the elements, copy the SVG for the same from the developer console
create say search.svg file and paste the svg for fasearch in the file
add below class in say root.css file
.pi-search:before {
content: url(search.svg) !important;
}
This will change the search icon
