using react-native-elements for material Icons - does not recognise some of the icons - react-native

Question

using the snack below:
https://snack.expo.io/ry_5rCk84
I am trying to display the icon 'wifi_off' using Material Icons in my react native app (just shared this as a snack on expo for easier sharing) but this is not a recognised value for prop 'name'.
and ends up displaying a '?' for unknown icon.
I am able to use wifi-off icon using 'material-community' icon set
import * as React from 'react';
import { Text, View, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
import { Constants } from 'expo';
import {Icon} from 'react-native-elements';
// You can import from local files
import AssetExample from './components/AssetExample';
// or any pure javascript modules available in npm
import { Card } from 'react-native-paper';
export default class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Text style={styles.paragraph}>
Change code in the editor and watch it change on your phone! Save to get a shareable url.
</Text>
<Card>
<AssetExample />
</Card>
<Icon name='wifi' size={50} type='material'/>
<Icon name='wifi-off' size={50} type='material-community' />
<Icon name='wifi_off' size={50} type='material' />
</View>
);
}
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: 'center',
paddingTop: Constants.statusBarHeight,
backgroundColor: '#ecf0f1',
padding: 8,
},
paragraph: {
margin: 24,
fontSize: 18,
fontWeight: 'bold',
textAlign: 'center',
},
});

Answer 1

react-native-elements uses react-native-vector-icons to display the icons.
react-native-vector-icons has a directory where you can check which icons are available, you can look them up by name. https://oblador.github.io/react-native-vector-icons/
If you search for all the icons that have wifi in their name you find the following result for MaterialIcons and MaterialCommunityIcons
If you search for wifi_off you will find that there are no results.
Therefore wifi_off is not available to use.
It is also worth noting that react-native-elements currently doesn't support the latest version of react-native-vector-icons, you can see that in this currently open issue.

When you are using react native elements Icon, behind the scenes it is searching in a list https://github.com/oblador/react-native-vector-icons/blob/master/glyphmaps/MaterialIcons.json, here you can find the names of the Icons that are supported and as you can see "wifi_off" is not here, maybe you can try "signal-wifi-off".
