Lucide React Native

React Native components for Lucide icons that work seamlessly across iOS and Android platforms. Built on top of react-native-svg, each icon renders as a native SVG component, providing consistent visual appearance and performance across mobile devices.

What you can accomplish:

• Use icons as React Native components with platform-consistent rendering
• Build cross-platform mobile apps with scalable vector icons
• Create responsive interfaces that adapt to different screen densities
• Integrate with React Native's styling system and animation libraries
• Maintain consistent icon appearance across iOS and Android platforms

Installation

First, ensure that you have react-native-svg (version between 12 and 15) installed. Then, install the package:

::: code-group

pnpm add lucide-react-native

yarn add lucide-react-native

npm install lucide-react-native

bun add lucide-react-native

How to use

Each icon can be imported as a React component.

Example

Additional props can be passed to adjust the icon:

import { Camera } from 'lucide-react-native';

// 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 customize the appearance of an icon, you can pass custom properties as props directly to the component. The component accepts all SVG attributes as props, which allows flexible styling of the SVG elements.

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

With Lucide Lab or custom icons

Lucide Lab is a collection of icons that are not part of the Lucide main library.

They can be used by using the Icon component. All props like regular Lucide icons can be passed to adjust the icon appearance.

Using the Icon component

This creates a single icon based on the iconNode passed and renders a Lucide icon component.

import { Icon } from 'lucide-react-native';
import { coconut } from '@lucide/lab';

const App = () => (
  <Icon iconNode={coconut} />
);

One generic icon component

It is possible to create one generic icon component to load icons, but it is not recommended.

::: warning The example below imports all ES Modules, so exercise caution when using it. Importing all icons will significantly increase the build size of the application, negatively affecting its performance. This is especially important to keep in mind when using bundlers like Webpack, Rollup, or Vite. :::

Icon Component Example

import * as icons from 'lucide-react-native/icons';

interface IconProps {
  name: keyof typeof icons;
  color?: string;
  size?: number;
}

const Icon = ({ name, color, size }: IconProps) => {
  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="House" />;
};

export default App;
