It may not be possible to directly insert an image into an icon from a library like lucide-react. Typically, you can only modify attributes such as size, color, and strokeWidth.
A potential solution would involve using React and Tailwind CSS.
const CustomChatIcon = () => {
return (
<svg className="w-10 h-10" viewBox="0 0 100 100">
{/* Define the mask */}
<defs>
<mask id="mask">
<rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="white" />
{/* Shape of the chat icon filled with black for masking */}
<path
d="M50 10a40 40 0 1 0 0 80 40 40 0 0 0 0-80zm0 72a32 32 0 1 1 0-64 32 32 0 0 1 0 64zm-16-48h32a4 4 0 0 0 4-4v-8a4 4 0 0 0-4-4H34a4 4 0 0 0-4 4v8a4 4 0 0 0 4 4z"
fill="black"
/>
</mask>
</defs>
{/* Apply the mask to the image */}
<image
href="/your_path/image.jpg" // Image path
width="100"
height="100"
mask="url(#mask)"
/>
</svg>
);
};
export default CustomChatIcon;
This code snippet generates an SVG chat icon and fills it with the specified image located at "/your_path/image.jpg".
To keep your codebase organized and readable, consider separating the SVG portion into its own file and importing it accordingly.
I hope this explanation proves useful!
