## What is this package?

Font Awesome 5 JavaScript packages support TypeScript. This package abstracts out some of the common definitions that those packages use.

## Here be dragons

If you are trying to import types from this package we *highly* recommend you do the following instead as *all types in this package are re-exported to the main fontawesome package*.

your.ts

```
import {
  IconName
} from `@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core`

const myIcon: IconName = "..."
```
