This is a fork of https://github.com/jpkleemans/vite-svg-loader with the sole difference that it replaces component with inline to make it backwards compatible with components using the webpack svg loader.

Vite SVG loader

Vite plugin to load SVG files as Vue components, using SVGO for optimization.

1<template>
2  <MyIcon />
3</template>
4
5<script setup>
6import MyIcon from './my-icon.svg'
7</script>

Install

1npm install vite-svg-loader --save-dev

Setup

vite.config.js

1import svgLoader from 'vite-svg-loader'
2
3export default defineConfig({
4  plugins: [vue(), svgLoader()]
5})

Import params

URL

SVGs can be imported as URLs using the ?url suffix:

1import iconUrl from './my-icon.svg?url'
2// '/assets/my-icon.2d8efhg.svg'

Raw

SVGs can be imported as strings using the ?raw suffix:

1import iconRaw from './my-icon.svg?raw'
2// '<?xml version="1.0"?>...'

Component

SVGs can be explicitly imported as Vue components using the ?inline suffix:

1import IconComponent from './my-icon.svg?inline'
2// <IconComponent />

Default import config

When no explicit params are provided SVGs will be imported as Vue components by default. This can be changed using the defaultImport config setting, such that SVGs without params will be imported as URLs (or raw strings) instead.

vite.config.js

1svgLoader({
2  defaultImport: 'url' // or 'raw'
3})

SVGO Configuration

vite.config.js

1svgLoader({
2  svgoConfig: {
3    multipass: true
4  }
5})

Disable SVGO

vite.config.js

1svgLoader({
2  svgo: false
3})

Skip SVGO for a single file

SVGO can be explicitly disabled for one file by adding the ?skipsvgo suffix:

1import IconWithoutOptimizer from './my-icon.svg?skipsvgo'
2// <IconWithoutOptimizer />

Use with TypeScript

If you use the loader in a Typescript project, you'll need to import your svg files with the ?inline param: import MyIcon from './my-icon.svg?inline'.

You'll also need to reference the type definitions:

1/// <reference types="vite-svg-loader" />
