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

::: code-group

pnpm install lucide-preact

yarn add lucide-preact

npm install lucide-preact

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.

Example

Additional props can be passed to adjust the icon:

import { Camera } from 'lucide-preact';

// 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. See the list of SVG Presentation Attributes on MDN.

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