is a React component library for displaying devicons icons as SVGs, offering customizable styles, color, and scaling.
Installation
To install, use your preferred package manager:

Usage
Import the DevIcon
component into your React application:

import { DevIcon } from "react-simple-devicons";
export default function App() {
return (
<div>
<DevIcon icon="react" color="#61dafb" scale="3xl" style="plain" />
</div>
);
}
Properties
The DevIcon
component accepts the following props:
Prop | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
color | string | Optional color for the icon. Note: Color cannot be applied if using the original style. |
icon | string | Icon name (e.g., "react" , "javascript" ). Check available icons at devicon.dev. |
scale | "xs" \| "sm" \| "md" \| "lg" \| "xl" \| "2xl" \| "3xl" \| "4xl" \| "5xl" \| "6xl" \| "7xl" \| "8xl" \| "9xl" | Scale of the icon, setting its dimensions in pixels. Default is "md" (24px). See Scale Values below. |
style | "line" \| "line-woodmark" \| "original" \| "original-woodmark" \| "plain" \| "plain-woodmark" | Optional style for the icon. Note: Color is only customizable with line and plain styles. |

{/* React icon with custom color and size */}
<DevIcon icon="react" color="#61dafb" style="plain" scale="5xl" />

Here’s a revised version of your section on implementing Server-Side Rendering (SSR):
Implementing Server-Side Rendering (SSR)
To learn about using Server-Side Rendering with Next.js, please refer to the official documentation.
Step 1: Create a Component for DevIcon
First, create a component that wraps DevIcon
(app/devicon.tsx):
import { DevIcon } from "react-simple-devicons";
const DevIcon = () => {
return <DevIcon />;
};
export default DevIcon;
Step 2: Import the Component into Your Pages
Next, import the newly created component into your pages (app/page.tsx):
import DevIcon from "./DevIcon";
export default function Page() {
return (
<div>
<p>View Dev Icons</p>
{/* Works since DevIcon is a Client Component */}
<DevIcon />
</div>
);
}
Error Handling
If an icon or style is unavailable, DevIcon
throws an error with a message directing you to devicon.dev to confirm icon availability.
