Chapter 129: Lucide Preact

Core Idea

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.

Key Concepts

• 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

Code Examples

import { Camera } from 'lucide-preact';

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

export default App;
