Lucide React

Implementation of the lucide icon library for react applications.

What is lucide? Read it here.

Installation

yarn add lucide-react

npm install lucide-react

How to use

It's built with ES modules so it's completely tree-shakable. Each icon can be imported as a react component.

Example

You can pass additional props to adjust the icon.

import { Camera } from 'lucide-react';

const App = () => {
  return <Camera color="red" size={48} />;
};

export default App;

Props

name	type	default
`size`	Number	24
`color`	String	currentColor
`strokeWidth`	Number	2

Custom props

You can also pass custom props that will be added in the svg as attributes.

const App = () => {
  return <Camera fill="red" />;
};

Generic icon component

It is possible to create a generic icon component to load icons.

⚠️ The example below is importing all ES modules. This is not recommended when you using a bundler since your application build size will grow substantially.

import { icons } from 'lucide-react';

const Icon = ({ name, color, size }) => {
  const LucideIcon = icons[name];

  return <LucideIcon color={color} size={size} />;
};

export default Icon;

With Dynamic Imports

⚠️ This is experimental and only works with bundlers that support dynamic imports.

Lucide react exports a dynamic import map dynamicIconImports. Useful for applications that want to show icons dynamically by icon name. For example when using a content management system with where icon names are stored in a database.

When using client side rendering, it will fetch the icon component when it's needed. This will reduce the initial bundle size.

The keys of the dynamic import map are the lucide original icon names.

Example with React suspense:

import React, { lazy, Suspense } from 'react';
import { dynamicIconImports, LucideProps } from 'lucide-react';

const fallback = <div style={{ background: '#ddd', width: 24, height: 24 }}/>

interface IconProps extends Omit<LucideProps, 'ref'> {
  name: keyof typeof dynamicIconImports;
}

const Icon = ({ name, ...props }: IconProps) => {
  const LucideIcon = lazy(dynamicIconImports[name]);

  return (
    <Suspense fallback={fallback}>
      <LucideIcon {...props} />
    </Suspense>
  );
}

export default Icon

NextJS Example

In NextJS the dynamic function can be used to load the icon component dynamically.

import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'
import { LucideProps } from 'lucide-react';
import dynamicIconImports from 'lucide-react/dynamicIconImports';

interface IconProps extends LucideProps {
  name: keyof typeof dynamicIconImports;
}

const Icon = ({ name, ...props }: IconProps) => {
  const LucideIcon = dynamic(dynamicIconImports[name])

  return <LucideIcon {...props} />;
};

export default Icon;
