As long as we are building a UI Components in any framework we come across situations where we need the icons to get the interest of the user, but we get stuck on choosing which library or which tool to use.

Here comes https://iconify.design/ which is far better then every icon package I have used, it is ok to use the icons from the design pattern installed eg: MUI, ANTD etc. But when there is a need of creating your own custom components with the icons you can take the iconify as your primary choice, because it is::

• Easy to setup
• Easy to use
• Light weight component
• You can get the ready to use Source code
• TypeScript Supported

I have been using the Icons from https://iconify.design/ in almost every project I have worked on.

Installation

Super easy,

if you use npm:

npm install --save-dev @iconify/react

if you use yarn

yarn add --dev @iconify/react

Importing

import { Icon } from '@iconify/react';

Usage

import React from 'react';

import { Icon } from '@iconify/react';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <div className="light-blue-block">
        <Icon style={{ fontSize: '54px' }} icon="mdi:user" />
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}

You can modify anything you want using the style or className props.

Advantages

Even if you don't want to install the package, there is the SVG Code of the icon which you can use directly in your component

You can even modify this SVG Image according to your need.

import React from "react";

export default function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <div className="light-blue-block">
        <svg
          xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
          width="10em"
          height="10em"
          viewBox="0 0 24 24"
        >
          <path
            fill="gray"
            d="M12 4a4 4 0 0 1 4 4a4 4 0 0
             1-4 4a4 4 0 0 1-4-4a4
             4 0 0 1 4-4m0 10c4.42 0 8
              1.79 8 4v2H4v-2c0-2.21 
             3.58-4 8-4"
          />
        </svg>{" "}
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}
