Usage

import { ArrowRight } from 'lucide-react-native';
import { Icon } from '@/components/ui/icon';
<Icon as={ArrowRight} className="text-red-500" size={16} />

Pass any Lucide icon through the as prop. className styles the icon with utility classes, so text-* colors and size-* classes work the same way they do on Text. Extra props go straight to the Lucide icon.

Props

  • as (required): the Lucide icon component to render.
  • size: icon size in pixels. Defaults to 14.
  • className: utility classes for the icon. The icon also inherits the surrounding TextClassContext from components like Button, so an icon inside a button picks up the button's text color.
  • All other LucideProps are forwarded to the icon.

Why a wrapper

Lucide icons take color and size props, not className. This wrapper maps className to those props once, so every icon in the app can be styled with utility classes without wrapping each icon individually.

Agent guide

Add the cn helper and the theme color variables the files useWhen: The project has no components.json file.From the collection

The files import cn from @/lib/utils:

import { clsx, type ClassValue } from 'clsx';
import { twMerge } from 'tailwind-merge';

export function cn(...inputs: ClassValue[]) {
  return twMerge(clsx(inputs));
}

Class names such as bg-background, text-muted-foreground, border-border, bg-primary, and rounded-lg resolve through these theme variables. Define them in the global CSS and map each color in the Tailwind theme as hsl(var(--name)), with --radius mapped to borderRadius.lg (md is calc(var(--radius) - 2px), sm is calc(var(--radius) - 4px)).

Nativewind projects: the files assume 1rem is 16px, so pass inlineRem: 16 to Nativewind in metro.config.js:

module.exports = withNativeWind(config, { input: './global.css', inlineRem: 16 });
