Getting started - Preact This guide will help you get started with Lucide in your Preact project.
<script setup lang="ts"> import OverviewLink from '../../.vitepress/theme/components/base/OverviewLink.vue' import OverviewLinkGrid from '../../.vitepress/theme/components/base/OverviewLinkGrid.vue' import { preactSidebar } from '../../.vitepress/sidebar/preact' </script>

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 add 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.

import { Camera } from 'lucide-preact';

// 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
nonScalingStroke 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}
    />
  );
};
