## Usage Examples

### Before (Material Icons)
```dart
Icon(Icons.shopping_cart, size: 24, color: Colors.blue)
Icon(Icons.add, size: 16)
IconButton(
  icon: Icon(Icons.delete_outline),
  onPressed: () {},
)
```

### After (FontAwesome)
```dart
FaIcon(FontAwesomeIcons.cartShopping, size: 24, color: Colors.blue)
FaIcon(FontAwesomeIcons.plus, size: 16)
IconButton(
  icon: FaIcon(FontAwesomeIcons.trashCan),
  onPressed: () {},
)
```

## Size Guidelines

FontAwesome icons tend to be slightly larger than Material icons at the same size. Recommended adjustments:

| Material Size | FontAwesome Size | Notes |
|---------------|------------------|-------|
| 24 (default) | 20-22 | Standard icons |
| 20 | 18 | Small icons |
| 16 | 14-15 | Tiny icons |
| 48 | 40-44 | Large icons |
| 64 | 56-60 | Extra large |

## Color Usage

FontAwesome icons use the same color properties:
```dart
// Both work the same
Icon(Icons.add, color: AppColors.primaryBlue)
FaIcon(FontAwesomeIcons.plus, color: AppColors.primaryBlue)
```

## Common Issues & Solutions

### Issue 1: Icon Size Mismatch
**Problem**: FontAwesome icons appear larger than expected
**Solution**: Reduce size by 2-4 pixels
```dart
// Before
Icon(Icons.add, size: 24)

// After
FaIcon(FontAwesomeIcons.plus, size: 20)
```

### Issue 2: Icon Alignment
**Problem**: Icons not centered properly
**Solution**: Use `IconTheme` or wrap in `SizedBox`
```dart
SizedBox(
  width: 24,
  height: 24,
  child: FaIcon(FontAwesomeIcons.plus, size: 18),
)
```

### Issue 3: Icon Not Found
**Problem**: Icon name doesn't match
**Solution**: Check FontAwesome documentation or use search
```dart
// Use camelCase, not snake_case
// ❌ FontAwesomeIcons.shopping_cart
// ✅ FontAwesomeIcons.cartShopping
```
