lucide-react-motion

Lucide icons as animated React components, powered by Motion.

Features

• No closed-loop seam at rest — closed-path icons (gear, cloud, heart) settle to a clean, continuous stroke. The draw animates strokeDashoffset rather than Motion's pathLength shortcut, which would otherwise bake in a stroke-dasharray dash pattern and leave a hairline gap where the path closes; at rest the sweep collapses to a solid stroke (stroke-dasharray: 0).
• 1,700+ icons, generated from lucide-static, individually importable so the bundler tree-shakes anything you don't use.
• Six triggers: hover, click, mount, in-view, parent-hover, manual (with an imperative ref handle).
• Per-icon character animations via mode="signature" — a heart beats, a bell rings, a clock ticks. Falls back to the default stroke-on draw for icons without a registered signature.
• RSC-safe — generated icons carry no per-file "use client"; the directive lives on the published bundle once so server components can import the package without breaking the boundary.
• Full Motion escape hatch — pass variants or a mode factory to take over animation entirely with the resolved timing context (duration, delay, stagger, easing, repeat, plus the path's measured pathLength).
• Reduced-motion aware — respects the OS preference by default, with reducedMotion="always" | "never" overrides.

Install

npm install lucide-react-motion motion react react-dom

motion, react, and react-dom are peer dependencies.

Usage

import { Heart, Settings, Bell } from "lucide-react-motion";

export function Demo() {
  return (
    <>
      <Heart trigger="hover" size={32} />
      <Settings mode="signature" trigger="hover" />
      <Bell trigger="click" onLeave="snap" />
    </>
  );
}

App-wide defaults via MotionIconConfig:

import { MotionIconConfig } from "lucide-react-motion";

<MotionIconConfig trigger="hover" mode="signature" duration={0.45}>
  <App />
</MotionIconConfig>;
