RedIcons provides you with an easy way to use Bootstrap Icons in your React projects.
I am using readmix for generating this README.
You can view the source file here.
RedIcons makes using Bootstrap icons in your project as easy as this:
<RedIcon name="bs-arrow-right" />You can also pass optional props such as size, className and fill:
<RedIcon name="bs-arrow-right" size={32} className="bg-green-500" fill="white" />- Icons get bundled with your JavaScript. No extra network request for each icon. No need to wait for the icons to load. No need for SplashScreens.
- Minimal size. Only about 0.2kB per icon (1kb uncompressed). So if your project uses 50 icons, your bundle size will increase by only 10kB.
- Better readability (debatable, I know) than using SVGs directly or using font icons.
- You have more control over your icons with props such as
size,fillandclassName. You can even use Tailwind classes.
Install the redicons package:
npm i redicons
You can install the redicons-cli for managing redicons from your terminal:
npm i -g redicons-cli@latest
Import icons from your redicons.json:
import rediconsJson from "./redicons.json";
const icons = rediconsJson.icons;Here, icons is an array containing icons in JSON format.
You can generate your redicons.json with the redicons-cli
or at redicons.redpapr.com.
Add icons to the red object with addIcons():
import { red } from "redicons";
red.addIcons(icons);Import the RedIcon component:
import { RedIcon } from "redicons";
Using the component:
<RedIcon name="bs-bug" />
The RedIcon component accepts a mandatory name prop:
<RedIcon name="bs-bug" />
If the specified icon is not found, then a default bs-question-diamond icon is displayed.
<RedIcon name="some-unknown-icon" />
This will display the default icon.
The RedIcon component accepts an optional size prop:
<RedIcon name="bs-bug" size={32} />
This will set the height and width of the icon.
The default value for size is 16.
The RedIcon component accepts an optional className prop:
<RedIcon name="bs-bug" className="bg-zinc-500 text-yellow-500" />
These classes will be added to the SVG tag.
You can use Tailwind classes here.
The RedIcon component accepts an optional fill prop:
<RedIcon name="bs-bug" fill="red" />
This will set the color of the icon.
The default value for fill is currentColor.
The RedIcon component accepts an optional hidden prop:
<RedIcon name="bs-bug" fill="red" hidden />
This will be hidden.
