Install Monicon with React (Webpack)
Setting up Monicon with React and Webpack is a straightforward process. This guide will walk you through the installation and configuration steps to get started with Monicon in your React project.
Install
To get started, you’ll need to install the necessary dependencies for Monicon. In your project directory, run the following command to install the dependencies.
npm i @monicon/react @monicon/webpack
Now you should install the development dependency @iconify/json
for the icon sets. This package provides a comprehensive collection of icons that can be easily integrated into your project.
npm i -D @iconify/json
# or specific icon sets
npm i -D @iconify-json/mdi @iconify-json/feather
Configure Webpack
Now that the dependencies are installed, you’ll need to configure Webpack to use Monicon.
module.exports = {
plugins: [
new MoniconPlugin({
icons: [
"mdi:home",
"feather:activity",
"logos:active-campaign",
"lucide:badge-check",
],
// Load all icons from the listed collections
collections: ["radix-icons"],
}),
],
};
The icons
array in the monicon
plugin configuration specifies the icon sets you want to use in your project. You can add more icon sets as needed.
For a complete list of available icon sets, refer to the Icones website.
