Lucide Preact

Implementation of the lucide icon library for preact applications.

Installation

sh
pnpm install lucide-preact
sh
yarn add lucide-preact
sh
npm install lucide-preact

How to use

It's build with ES Modules so it's completely tree-shakable.

Each icon can be imported as a Preact 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:

jsx
import { Camera } from 'lucide-preact';

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

export default App;

Props

nametypedefault
sizenumber24
colorstringcurrentColor
strokeWidthnumber2
absoluteStrokeWidthbooleanfalse

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.

jsx
// Usage
const App = () => {
  return <Camera fill="red" stroke-linejoin="bevel" />;
};

SVG attributes in Preact aren't transformed, so if you want to change for example the stroke-linejoin you need to pass it in kebabcase. Basically how the SVG spec want you to write it. See this topic in the Preact documentation.

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

jsx
import { icons } from 'lucide-preact';

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

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

export default Icon;

Using the Icon Component

jsx
import Icon from './Icon';

const App = () => {
  return <Icon name="home" />;
};

export default App;
