Question 1

How to make Moving Icons animate on click instead of hover?

Accepted Answer

You can control animations programmatically by binding the `animate` prop to a state variable triggered on click events. For example, set `animate` to true on click and false on release, similar to the advanced usage example for hover in the README.

Question 2

Are Moving Icons accessible for users with motion sensitivities?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't address accessibility, so developers must manually handle reduced motion preferences, such as using CSS media queries or conditionally disabling animations. Adding ARIA labels is also recommended for screen readers.

Question 3

Can I use Moving Icons in a SvelteKit project?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the README states compatibility with SvelteKit, and icons can be imported as named components. Installation via npm or the shadcn-svelte registry works seamlessly in SvelteKit environments.

Question 4

Moving Icons vs Lucide: which is better for Svelte animations?

Accepted Answer

Moving Icons is built on Lucide but adds hand-crafted animations optimized for Svelte 5, while Lucide provides static icons. Choose Moving Icons for out-of-the-box animations; use Lucide directly if you need static icons or framework-agnostic solutions.

Question 5

How to customize animation speed or easing in Moving Icons?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't support direct animation customization; you'd need to override CSS styles manually or wrap icons in custom components. This limits fine-tuning compared to libraries with built-in animation props.

Question 6

Is there a way to add new icons to the Moving Icons library?

Accepted Answer

The project welcomes contributions, as per the README, so you can submit new icons via GitHub. However, it relies on Lucide as a base, so additions might need alignment with that library's design.
