Lucide React Native
Implementation of the lucide icon library for React Native applications
Installation
First, ensure that you have react-native-svg
(version between 12 and 15) installed. Then, install the package:
pnpm install 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 { burger } from '@lucide/lab';
const App = () => (
<Icon iconNode={burger} />
);
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 { icons } from 'lucide-react-native';
const Icon = ({ name, color, size }) => {
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="home" />;
};
export default App;
