Unicon

Unicon is a unified icon library providing 19,000+ icons from 9 popular libraries. Unlike traditional npm packages that bundle thousands of icons, Unicon generates only the icons you need.

Quick Start

# Install CLI globally
npm install -g @webrenew/unicon

# Or use directly with npx
npx @webrenew/unicon search "dashboard"

Core Commands

Output Formats

Note: CLI auto-detects your framework from package.json and uses the appropriate format.

Icon Sources

Common Workflows

Add Icons to a React Project

# 1. Initialize config (interactive wizard)
unicon init --interactive

# 2. Search for icons interactively
unicon search "navigation arrows" --pick

# 3. Add bundle to config
unicon add nav --query "arrow chevron menu"

# 4. Generate components
unicon sync

# 5. Import and use
# import { ArrowRight, Menu } from "./src/icons/nav"

Get a Single Icon Quickly

# Output to stdout (auto-detects framework)
unicon get home

# Copy to clipboard directly
unicon get home --copy

# Save to file
unicon get settings --format react -o ./Settings.tsx

# Different framework
unicon get home --format vue -o ./Home.vue

Interactive Search with Selection

# Search and pick icons interactively
unicon search "dashboard" --pick

# Then choose action: copy, save, star, or create bundle

Bundle by Category

# Bundle all dashboard icons (tree-shakeable by default)
unicon bundle --category Dashboards -o ./src/icons

# Bundle specific icons by search
unicon bundle --query "social media" --format svg -o ./public/icons

# Bundle all favorited icons
unicon bundle --stars -o ./src/icons/favorites

# Single file mode (not tree-shakeable)
unicon bundle --query "ui" --single-file -o ./icons.tsx

Favorites System

# Star icons for later
unicon star home
unicon star settings
unicon star user

# Bundle all starred icons
unicon bundle --stars -o ./src/icons/favorites

# View favorites
unicon favorites

Watch Mode for Development

# Auto-regenerate when config changes
unicon sync --watch

Audit Project Usage

# Find unused bundled icons and missing imports
unicon audit

Preview Icons in Terminal

# ASCII art preview
unicon preview home

# Custom size
unicon preview star --width 24

Tree-Shaking Benefits

Unlike npm install lucide-react which downloads thousands of icons:

• Generates only the icons you need as individual files
• No external dependencies to ship
• True tree-shaking with one component per file
• Import only what you use: import { Home } from "./icons"

Web Interface

Browse and copy icons at: https://unicon.sh

• Visual search with AI
• One-click copy (SVG, React, Vue, Svelte)
• Filter by library and category
• Bundle builder for multiple icons
