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:

sh
pnpm install lucide-react-native
sh
yarn add lucide-react-native
sh
npm install 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:

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

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

export default App;

Props

nametypedefault
sizenumber24
colorstringcurrentColor
strokeWidthnumber2
absoluteStrokeWidthbooleanfalse

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.

jsx
// 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.

jsx
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

jsx
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

jsx
import Icon from './Icon';

const App = () => {
  return <Icon name="home" />;
};

export default App;
