using React Icons instead of Lucide React

[rawand-faraidun]

I believe using react-icons is better instead of lucide-react, it contains all Lucide Icons and many elses which can be used, I have seen some project that manually replaces the icons library because they also used other icons, and react-icons contains most of the popular libraries, and I always end-up replacing too, so I believe it would be better to use it, or having a configuration option to make the decision is awesome.

I agree. Although I'm more keen to know the performance difference between the two.

I disagree. react-icons entices you to mix icon sets which don't all match in style.

lucide-react is limited, and depricating brand logos for example. instead of installing a lot of icon libraries, i would feel comfortable having only one.
also lucide icons do not prefix or suffix their Icon names, so you can import Link from lucide icons, and try to debug the error.

That could be a desired effect in some situations. lucide-react doesn't have a lot of brand icons for example. it should be left up to the implementer to decide which icons are pulled in. react-icons would make it nice to just have one lib

[rawand-faraidun]

There are icon sets that match within react-icons, having the option to decide which icon library you want is great, maybe for different-looking icons to

In the new components.json, there is an option called iconLibrary, but I am unsure what the options are for it.

I would also like to know if we wan set the react-icons library to iconLibrary. The JSON schema just says "string".
