Getting started

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

Installation

::: code-group

pnpm add lucide-react

yarn add lucide-react

npm install lucide-react

bun add lucide-react

Importing your first icon

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

Each icon can be imported as a React 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-react';
// 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} />;
};
