React (esbuild)
Learn how to install and use Monicon in your React (esbuild) project
Installation
Install Monicon and its esbuild plugin in your project:
npm install @monicon/core @monicon/esbuildConfiguration
1. Create Monicon Config
Create a monicon.config.ts file in your project root:
import { , } from "@monicon/core/plugins";
import { } from "@monicon/core";
export default {
// Loads individual icons by icon name
: ["mdi:home", "feather:activity"],
// Loads all icons from the lucide collection
: ["lucide"],
: [
/**
* change the output path to your project config for example;
* - src/components/icons
* - components/icons
*/
({ : ["src/components/icons"] }),
({ : "src/components/icons" }),
],
} satisfies ;2. Configure esbuild
Add the Monicon plugin to your esbuild configuration:
import * as esbuild from "esbuild";
import { monicon } from "@monicon/esbuild";
await esbuild.build({
plugins: [monicon()],
});Usage
After configuration, Monicon will automatically generate React components for your icons. You can import and use them in your components:
import BadgeCheckIcon from "./components/icons/lucide/badge-check";
import CloudDownloadIcon from "./components/icons/lucide/cloud-download";
import HomeIcon from "./components/icons/mdi/home";
import ActivityIcon from "./components/icons/feather/activity";
export default function App() {
return (
<main className="flex gap-4 items-center justify-center min-h-screen">
<BadgeCheckIcon className="size-10" />
<CloudDownloadIcon className="size-10" />
<ActivityIcon className="size-10" />
<HomeIcon className="size-10" />
{/* you can also use standard SVG props */}
<HomeIcon width={40} height={40} color="blue" />
</main>
);
}
