Heavily based on Moving Icons, inspired by lucide-animated.

Demo → https://icons.ajitpanigrahi.com

Highlights

• ✅ Standalone Components, for Angular v19 and above.
• ✅ Zoneless & signals-first. RxJS is not required.
• ✅ Custom InjectionToken for configuring customizations in one place.

Installation

Install this package with the package manager of your choice.

npm i ng-animated-icons

pnpm i ng-animated-icons

bun add ng-animated-icons

yarn add ng-animated-icons

Or copy just the required icons from the repository.

Use the docs to find the files and copy the source code into your project. The only relative import is for the injection token, so consider either adding this file directory beside your icons or you can delete the relevant lines should you choose to skip this.

Usage

Import Path

import { ActivityIcon, StarIcon } from 'ng-animated-icons';

• All component names are in PascalCase and have an Icon suffix to the respective Lucide icon names. This suffix is added to avoid conflicts with other components, especially since newer Angular components don't have the Component suffix by default.
• All icon selectors are in lowercase and have an i- prefix to the respective Lucide icon names.

e.g., the thumbs-up icon in Lucide is available for import as ThumbsUpIcon, and can be used in the template as i-thumbs-up

Props

Prop	Type	Default	Description	InjectionToken?
color	string	'currentColor'	Stroke color (CSS color value)	Yes
size	number	24	Icon size in pixels	Yes
strokeWidth	number	2	SVG stroke width	Yes
class	string	—	Optional additional CSS classes	No
animate	boolean	false	Controls icon animation state	No

Variants

1. Default usage. This uses the default values mentioned in Props.

   import { ActivityIcon } from 'ng-animated-icons';

   <i-activity />

2. Pass one-off options. Inline options will be applicable to current icon only.

   <!-- HTML-style attributes -->
   <i-activity class="border p-4" color="purple" size="24" strokeWidth="1" />
   
   <!-- Regular input binding for variables -->
   <i-activity [class]="'border p-4'" [color]="'purple'" [size]="24" [strokeWidth]="1" />

3. Global options. The ideal place to configure standard settings across your app.

   // src/app/app.config.ts
   import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core';
   import { provideAnimatedIcons } from 'ng-animated-icons';
   
   export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
     providers: [
       provideAnimatedIcons({ color: 'blue', size: 30, strokeWidth: 1 }),
     ],
   };
   
   // main.ts
   import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
   import { appConfig } from './app/app.config';
   import { App } from './app/app';
   
   bootstrapApplication(App, appConfig).catch(err => console.error(err));

   <!-- Will be blue, with stroke-width 1 and size 30 -->
   <i-activity />
   
   <!-- Will still be blue, with stroke-width 1 but with size 36 -->
   <i-activity size="36" />
   
   <!-- Will still be blue, with size 30 but with stroke-width 3 -->
   <i-activity strokeWidth="3" />
   
   <!-- Disregards providers since everything is overridden -->
   <i-activity color="#f91377" size="36" strokeWidth="3" />

Advanced Usage

Control icon animations from parent elements by binding the animate input to your own hover, focus & touch states:

import { BellIcon } from 'ng-animated-icons';

@Component({ ... })
class Example {
  shouldAnimate = signal(false);
}

<button
  (focusin)="shouldAnimate.set(true)"
  (focusout)="shouldAnimate.set(false)"
  (mouseenter)="shouldAnimate.set(true)"
  (mouseleave)="shouldAnimate.set(false)"
  (touchstart)="shouldAnimate.set(true)"
  (touchend)="shouldAnimate.set(false)"
>
  <i-bell size="16" [animate]="shouldAnimate()" />
  <span>Notifications</span>
</button>

When building navigation or sidebar components, it might come in handy to create a reusable wrapper component. With snippets, you can pass the hover/focus/touch state to the children, allowing icons to animate on hover/focus/touch:

@Component({
  selector: 'group-animation-item',
  template: `<ng-content />`,
  host: {
    '(focusin)': 'shouldAnimate.set(true)',
    '(focusout)': 'shouldAnimate.set(false)',
    '(mouseenter)': 'shouldAnimate.set(true)',
    '(mouseleave)': 'shouldAnimate.set(false)',
    '(touchstart)': 'shouldAnimate.set(true)',
    '(touchend)': 'shouldAnimate.set(false)',
  },
})
class GroupAnimationItem {
  readonly shouldAnimate = signal(false);
}

Use the wrapper component in your navigation:

import { GroupAnimationItem } from '@/components/group-animation-item';
import { Home, Settings } from 'ng-animated-icons';

<nav class="flex flex-col gap-2">
  <group-animation-item class="flex items-center gap-2 rounded p-2" #homeItem>
    <i-home size="16" [animate]="homeItem.shouldAnimate()" />
    <span>Home</span>
  </group-animation-item>
  <group-animation-item class="flex items-center gap-2 rounded p-2" #settingsItem>
    <i-settings size="16" [animate]="settingsItem.shouldAnimate()" />
    <span>Settings</span>
  </group-animation-item>
</nav>
