@mal-icons/react

React adapter for mal-icons — a high-performance, tree-shakeable icon SDK. Each icon is a pre-generated component, so there is no runtime tree-walking, no JSON parsing on render, and no dangerouslySetInnerHTML.

Highlights

• Tree-shakeable — every icon is its own module; bundlers keep only what you import.
• Tiny — a strict per-icon budget (< 0.8 KB gzipped) is enforced in CI.
• Themeable — size, color, weight, and className resolved through IconContext, with per-icon overrides.
• Pure-CSS animations — spin, pulse, beat, bounce, ping, shake, wiggle, float, heartbeat, flip, rotate, zoom, fade, slide, glow, swing, tada, with a prefers-reduced-motion guard.
• Advanced delivery — SVG sprites, dynamic-by-name loading with caching/preloading, and CDN loaders.
• Server Components — a hook-free /server entry renders icons in RSC with zero client JS.
• Accessible — correct role / aria-hidden handling and optional <title>.

Installation

bun add @mal-icons/react
# or
npm install @mal-icons/react

Requires React 18 or newer (peer dependency).

Use with AI agents

AI coding agents can add and theme these icons for you via the mal-icons agent skill. Install it with the skills CLI:

npx skills add mal-icons/mal-icons

Then ask your agent to "add a trash icon" and it searches the catalog and writes the correct @mal-icons/react import. See the React setup guide.

Quick start

Import icons directly from the set subpath (/fi = Feather):

import { FiActivity } from "@mal-icons/react/fi";

export function Status() {
  return <FiActivity size={24} color="currentColor" title="Status" />;
}

App-wide theming

import { IconContext } from "@mal-icons/react";

export function App() {
  return (
    <IconContext.Provider value={{ size: 20, color: "#3366ff" }}>
      <Toolbar />
    </IconContext.Provider>
  );
}

Per-icon props always override context values.

Props

| Prop | Type | Description | | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- | | size | number \| string | Width and height (defaults to 1em) | | color | string | Overrides currentColor | | weight | "thin" \| "light" \| "regular" \| "bold" | Stroke weight for stroke-based sets | | animate | IconAnimation ("spin", "pulse", "bounce", "shake", "heartbeat", …) | CSS animation preset | | secondaryColor | string | Multi-tone color, exposed as --mal-icons-secondary | | title | string | Accessible label (renders <title> + role="img") | | className | string | Additional class names | | style | CSSProperties | Inline styles |

Animations

Animations are pure CSS. Inject the keyframes once and they apply only to icons that opt in:

import { ICON_ANIMATIONS_CSS } from "@mal-icons/react";

<style>{ICON_ANIMATIONS_CSS}</style>;
<FiLoader animate="spin" />;

Advanced rendering

SVG sprite

import { SpriteIcon } from "@mal-icons/react";

<SpriteIcon id="fi-activity" href="/sprite/fi.svg" />;

Dynamic by name (caching + preload)

import {
  Icon,
  cdnLoader,
  setDefaultIconLoader,
  preloadIcon,
} from "@mal-icons/react";

setDefaultIconLoader(cdnLoader("https://cdn.example.com/icons"));
preloadIcon("FiActivity"); // optional warm-up

<Icon name="FiActivity" size={24} />;

React Server Components

The /server entry is hook-free and renders directly inside Server Components:

import { createServerIcon } from "@mal-icons/react/server";

API

import {
  IconBase,
  createIcon,
  SpriteIcon,
  Icon,
  cdnLoader,
  setLoader,
  setDefaultIconLoader,
  preloadIcon,
  clearIconCache,
  IconContext,
  DefaultIconContext,
  ICON_ANIMATIONS_CSS,
  WEIGHT_STROKE_WIDTH,
  animationClass,
} from "@mal-icons/react";
