heroicons nextjs

  1. Install Next.js: To begin, you need to install Next.js on your machine. Next.js is a popular framework for building React applications. You can install Next.js by running the following command in your terminal:
npm install next
  1. Create a new Next.js project: Once Next.js is installed, you can create a new Next.js project. Navigate to the desired directory in your terminal and run the following command:
npx create-next-app my-app

This will create a new Next.js project in a folder named "my-app".

  1. Install heroicons-nextjs package: To use heroicons in your Next.js project, you need to install the "heroicons-nextjs" package. Run the following command in your terminal:
npm install @heroicons/react
  1. Import and use heroicons in your Next.js project: After installing the heroicons-nextjs package, you can import and use the heroicons in your Next.js components. Import the desired heroicon component at the top of your component file, like this:
import { HeroIconName } from '@heroicons/react/solid';

Replace "HeroIconName" with the actual name of the heroicon you want to use.

  1. Use heroicons in your Next.js component: Once the heroicon is imported, you can use it in your Next.js component by including it in your JSX code. For example, if you want to use the "HomeIcon" heroicon, you can add the following code to your component's JSX:
<HomeIcon className="h-6 w-6" />

Replace "HomeIcon" with the actual name of the heroicon you want to use. You can also customize the size of the heroicon by adding appropriate CSS classes.

  1. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for other heroicons: If you want to use multiple heroicons in your Next.js project, repeat steps 4 and 5 for each heroicon you want to use. Import the heroicon component and use it in your component's JSX code.

That's it! You have now installed Next.js, installed the heroicons-nextjs package, and learned how to import and use heroicons in your Next.js project.
