## Installation
### Package Managers
``` bash
npm install lucide
#or
yarn add lucide
```
### CDN
``` html
```
## Usage
At its core, Lucide is a collection of [SVG](https://svgontheweb.com/#svg) files. This means that you can use Feather icons in all the same ways you can use SVGs (e.g. `img`, `background-image`, `inline`, `object`, `embed`, `iframe`). Here's a helpful article detailing the many ways SVGs can be used on the web: [SVG on the Web – Implementation Options](https://svgontheweb.com/#implementation)
The following are additional ways you can use Lucide.
With the Javascript library you can easily incorporate the icon you want in your webpage.
### With unpkg
Here is a complete example with unpkg
```html
```
### With ESModules
To reduce bundle size, lucide is build to be fully threeshakeble.
The `createIcons` function will search for HTMLElements with the attribute `icon-name` and replace it with the svg from the given icon name.
```html
```
```js
import { createIcons, icons } from 'lucide';
// Caustion, 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,
},
});
```
#### 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: 'icon-name', // atrribute for the icon name.
});
```
#### Threeshake 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);
```
