What is @heroicons/react?

@heroicons/react is a React library that provides a set of free, MIT-licensed high-quality SVG icons. These icons are designed to be used in web applications and are available in both outline and solid styles.

What are @heroicons/react's main functionalities?

Outline Icons

This feature allows you to use outline style icons in your React application. The code sample demonstrates how to import and use the `BeakerIcon` from the `@heroicons/react/outline` package.

import { BeakerIcon } from '@heroicons/react/outline';

function Example() {
  return <BeakerIcon className="h-6 w-6 text-blue-500" />;
}

Solid Icons

This feature allows you to use solid style icons in your React application. The code sample demonstrates how to import and use the `BeakerIcon` from the `@heroicons/react/solid` package.

import { BeakerIcon } from '@heroicons/react/solid';

function Example() {
  return <BeakerIcon className="h-6 w-6 text-blue-500" />;
}

Customizable Icons

This feature allows you to customize the size and color of the icons. The code sample demonstrates how to change the size and color of the `BeakerIcon`.

import { BeakerIcon } from '@heroicons/react/outline';

function Example() {
  return <BeakerIcon className="h-8 w-8 text-red-500" />;
}

Basic Usage

First, install @heroicons/react from npm:

npm install @heroicons/react

Now each icon can be imported individually as a React component:

import { BeakerIcon } from '@heroicons/react/24/solid'

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <div>
      <BeakerIcon className="size-6 text-blue-500" />
      <p>...</p>
    </div>
  )
}

The 24x24 outline icons can be imported from @heroicons/react/24/outline, the 24x24 solid icons can be imported from @heroicons/react/24/solid, the 20x20 solid icons can be imported from @heroicons/react/20/solid, and 16x16 solid icons can be imported from @heroicons/react/16/solid.

Icons use an upper camel case naming convention and are always suffixed with the word Icon.

Contributing

While we absolutely appreciate anyone's willingness to try and improve the project, we're currently only interested in contributions that fix bugs, for example things like incorrect TypeScript types, or fixing an icon that's been exported with a fill instead of a stroke, etc.

We're not accepting contributions for new icons or adding support for other frameworks like Svelte or SolidJS. Instead we encourage you to release your own icons in your own library, and create your own packages for any other frameworks you'd like to see supported.
