So I am writing a functional component right, I written a props.
So I wanted it to able to auto suggest name attributes. Something like this

import { Ionicons } from "@expo/vector-icons";

export interface ownWrittenProps {
  leftIcon?: ????????;
}

so when people start typing <FunctionalComponent leftIcon=" it can suggest the acceptable icon names from Ionicons the reason I want to use it because it pack into the ios/apk package anyway. What should I put in ???????? so that it can suggest the name?

Another question, if I have a textbox in my ChildComponent how do I retrieve the text/value from parent?

ionicons react-native reactjs

@expo-vector-icons exposes a glyphMap for each icon type. You can use this to generate the name suggestions.

import { Ionicons } from '@expo/vector-icons';

export interface ownWrittenProps {
  leftIcon?: keyof typeof Ionicons.glyphMap;
}

This will create a type from the map, then make sure that only keys of that type can be used when setting leftIcon.

If suggestions didn't work you can directly find icon name from Ionicons official website and use it like a component.

Example:

import { Ionicons } from '@expo/vector-icons'; 

<Ionicons name="add-outline" size={24} color="black" />

or

import { Ionicons } from "@expo/vector-icons";

export interface ownWrittenProps {
  leftIcon?: "add-outline";
}
