Implementation of the lucide icon library for web applications.

Installation

Package Managers

sh

sh

sh
npm install lucide
sh

CDN

html
<!-- Development version -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/lucide@latest/dist/umd/lucide.js"></script>

<!-- Production version -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/lucide@latest"></script>

Usage

With unpkg

Here is a complete example with unpkg

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<body>
  <i data-lucide="volume-2" class="my-class"></i>
  <i data-lucide="x"></i>
  <i data-lucide="menu"></i>

  <script src="https://unpkg.com/lucide@latest"></script>
  <script>
    lucide.createIcons();
  </script>
</body>

With ESModules

To reduce bundle size, lucide is built to be fully tree-shakable. The createIcons function will search for HTMLElements with the attribute data-lucide and replace it with the svg from the given icon name.

html
<!-- Your HTML file -->
<i data-lucide="menu"></i>
js
import { createIcons, icons } from 'lucide';

// Caution, this will import all the icons and bundle them.
createIcons({ icons });

// Recommended way, to include only the icons you need.
import { createIcons, Menu, ArrowRight, Globe } from 'lucide';

createIcons({
  icons: {
    Menu,
    ArrowRight,
    Globe
  }
});

Advanced Usage

Additional Options

In the createIcons function you can pass some extra parameters to adjust the nameAttr or add custom attributes like for example classes.

Here is a full example:

js
import { createIcons } from 'lucide';

createIcons({
  attrs: {
    class: ['my-custom-class', 'icon'],
    'stroke-width': 1,
    stroke: '#333'
  },
  nameAttr: 'data-lucide' // attribute for the icon name.
});

Treeshake the library, only use the icons you use

js
import { createIcons, Menu, ArrowRight, Globe } from 'lucide';

createIcons({
  icons: {
    Menu,
    ArrowRight,
    Globe
  }
});

Custom Element binding

js
import { createElement, Menu } from 'lucide';

const menuIcon = createElement(Menu); // Returns HTMLElement (svg)

// set custom attributes with browser native functions
menuIcon.setAttribute('stroke', '#333');
menuIcon.classList.add('my-icon-class');

// Append HTMLElement in webpage
const myApp = document.getElementById('app');
myApp.appendChild(menuIcon);

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 in the same way as the official icons.

js
import { burger } from '@lucide/lab';

createIcons({
  icons: {
    burger
  }
});
