Getting started

This guide will help you get started with Lucide in your Preact project. Make sure you have a Preact environment set up. If you don't have one yet, you can create a new Preact project using Create Preact App, Vite, or any other Preact boilerplate of your choice.

Installation

pnpm

pnpm add lucide-preact

yarn

yarn add lucide-preact

npm

npm install lucide-preact

bun

bun add lucide-preact

Importing your first icon

Lucide is built with ES Modules, so it's completely tree-shakable.

Each icon can be imported as a Preact component, which renders an 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.

import { Camera } from 'lucide-preact';

// Usage
const App = () => {
  return <Camera />;
};

export default App;

Props

To customize the appearance of an icon, you can use the following props:

name	type	default
size	number	24
color	string	currentColor
strokeWidth	number	2
absoluteStrokeWidth	boolean	false

Because icons render as SVG elements, all standard SVG attributes can also be applied as props. See the list of SVG Presentation Attributes on MDN.

// Usage
const App = () => {
  return <Camera size={48} color="red" strokeWidth={1} />;
};
