Chapter 133: Lucide Svelte

Core Idea

Svelte components for Lucide icons that work seamlessly with both Svelte 4 and Svelte 5. Each icon is a reactive Svelte component that renders as an inline SVG, providing excellent performance and integration with Svelte's reactive system and modern features.

Key Concepts

• Use icons as Svelte components with full reactivity and TypeScript support
• Bind icon properties to reactive variables and stores
• Create dynamic icon systems that respond to application state
• Build type-safe interfaces with comprehensive TypeScript definitions
• Optimize bundle sizes with direct icon imports and tree-shaking
• @typedef {Object} MenuItem
• @property {string} name
• @property {string} href

Code Examples

<script>
  import { Skull } from '@lucide/svelte';
</script>

<Skull />
