Lucide Preact ​

=================================================================================

Preact components for Lucide icons that provide React-like development experience with a smaller footprint. Each icon is a lightweight Preact component that renders as an inline SVG, perfect for applications that need React compatibility with minimal bundle size.

What you can accomplish:

• Use icons as Preact components with React-like syntax and patterns
• Build lightweight applications with Preact's smaller runtime
• Create fast, responsive interfaces with minimal JavaScript overhead
• Maintain React compatibility while reducing bundle size
• Integrate with existing Preact applications and component libraries

Installation ​

---

pnpmyarnnpmbun

sh

pnpm add lucide-preact

sh

yarn add lucide-preact

sh

npm install lucide-preact

sh

bun add lucide-preact

How to use ​

---

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:

jsx

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 .

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 .

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.

jsx

import { Icon } from 'lucide-preact';
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.

DANGER

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 when using bundlers like Webpack, Rollup, or Vite.

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="house" />;
};

export default App;
