Add monorepo documentation for specifying iconFontsDir

[jgornick]

Environment

macOS 10.15.4
Android
6.6.0

Description

In a monorepo setup, icons do not appear to render and show a rectangle with lines through them.

Reproducible Demo

Using a monorepo setup and with yarn workspaces, the node_modules are installed at the root of the monorepo. The path to the icons needs to be updated with the new relative path:

project.ext.vectoricons = [
    iconFontsDir: "../../../../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/Fonts"
]

apply from: file("../../../../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/fonts.gradle");

@jgornick hey joe, sorry to bother you. i'm struggling to get the icons to show on android with a monorepo setup. I've added the iconFontsDir, and looking inside the apk the fonts are getting copied to assets/fonts. But they still don't show up in the app. Is there anything else I need to change? I've tried copying them manually too, which doesn't work either. Any hints would be most welcome.

Sorry @robclouth and @ReeVicente, the only help I can provide is in the solution I included above by specifying the iconFonsDir and applying the fonts.gradle. Just make sure the (relative) paths are correct.

I figured it out. In expo bare workflow you need to manually import the fonts with expo-font. Two days down the drain because of that...🤦🏻‍♂️ Thanks for replying though!

How did you do that, please?
