Lucide React
Implementation of the lucide icon library for react applications
Installation
pnpm install lucide-react
yarn add lucide-react
npm install lucide-react
How to use
It's build with ES Modules so it's completely tree-shakable.
Each icon can be imported as a React component, what renders a inline SVG Element. This way only the icons that are imported into your project are included in the final bundle. The rest of the icons are tree-shaken away.
Example
Additional props can be passed to adjust the icon:
import { Camera } from 'lucide-react';
// Usage
const App = () => {
return <Camera color="red" size={48} />;
};
export default App;
Props
name | type | default |
---|---|---|
size | number | 24 |
color | string | currentColor |
strokeWidth | number | 2 |
absoluteStrokeWidth | boolean | false |
Applying props
To apply custom props to change the look of the icon, this can be done by simply pass them as props to the component. All SVG attributes are available as props to style the SVGs. See the list of SVG Presentation Attributes on MDN.
// Usage
const App = () => {
return <Camera size={48} fill="red" />;
};
One generic icon component
It is possible to create one generic icon component to load icons. It's not recommended.
DANGER
Example below importing all ES Modules, caution using this example. All icons will be imported. When using bundlers like: Webpack
, Rollup
or Vite
the application build size will grow strongly and harming the performance the application.
Icon Component Example
import { icons } from 'lucide-react';
const Icon = ({ name, color, size }) => {
const LucideIcon = icons[name];
return <LucideIcon color={color} size={size} />;
};
export default Icon;
Using the Icon Component
import Icon from './Icon';
const App = () => {
return <Icon name="home" />;
};
export default App;
