font_awesome_flutter

This will add a line like this to your package’s pubspec.yaml (and run an implicit dart pub get):

dependencies:
  font_awesome_flutter: ^9.1.0

Import it

Now in your Launcher.dart , you can use:

import 'package:font_awesome_flutter/font_awesome_flutter.dart';

class _LauncherState extends State {
  int _selectedIndex = 0;
  List _pageWidget = [
    HomePage(), 
    ProfilePage(), 
    AboutPage()
  ];

List _menuBar = [
    BottomNavigationBarItem(
      icon: Icon(FontAwesomeIcons.home),
      label: 'Home'
    ),
    BottomNavigationBarItem(
      icon: Icon(FontAwesomeIcons.userAlt),
      label: 'Profile'
    ),
    BottomNavigationBarItem(
      icon: Icon(FontAwesomeIcons.infoCircle),
      label: 'About'
    ),
  ];

void _onItemTapped(int index) {
    setState(() {
      _selectedIndex = index;
    });
  }

@override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: _pageWidget.elementAt(_selectedIndex),
      bottomNavigationBar: BottomNavigationBar(
        items: _menuBar,
        currentIndex: _selectedIndex,
        selectedItemColor: Theme.of(context).primaryColor,
        unselectedItemColor: Colors.grey,
        onTap: _onItemTapped,  
      ),
    );
  }
