Setup

Default configuration

Add to your gatsby-config.js

1plugins: [`gatsby-plugin-svgr-svgo`];

By default there are two rules will be added:

1. SVG as a react component(inline svg), SVGO enabled for all SVGs that have .inline postfix. Example: cat.inline.svg

1import React from "react";
2import CatInlineSvg from "../images/cat.inline.svg";
3
4const IndexPage = () => (
5  <div>
6    <CatInlineSvg />
7  </div>
8);
9
10export default IndexPage;

2. SVG as a file that available by url, SVGO enabled for all svgs that have .svg. Example: cat.svg.

1import React from "react";
2import CatSvg from "../images/cat.svg";
3
4const IndexPage = () => (
5  <div>
6    <img src={CatSvg} />
7  </div>
8);
9
10export default IndexPage;

Advanced configuration

1plugins: [
2  {
3    resolve: "gatsby-plugin-svgr-svgo",
4    options: {
5      inlineSvgOptions: [
6        {
7          test: /\.inline.svg$/,
8          svgoConfig: {
9            plugins: [
10              {
11                name: "preset-default",
12                params: {
13                  overrides: [{ name: "removeViewBox", active: false }],
14                },
15              },
16              "prefixIds",
17            ],
18          },
19        },
20      ],
21      urlSvgOptions: [
22        {
23          test: /\.svg$/,
24          svgoConfig: {
25            plugins: [{ name: "removeViewBox", active: false }],
26          },
27        },
28      ],
29    },
30  },
31];

You can declare various rules based on loader that should be used under inlineSvgOptions and urlSvgOptions.

test - pattern that will be used to match file name

svgoConfig - accepts plugins list with settings, list of available plugins(options) you can find here

svgo - disables SVGO if set in false

SVGO disabled example

1plugins: [
2  {
3    resolve: "gatsby-plugin-svgr-svgo",
4    options: {
5      urlSvgOptions: [
6        {
7          test: /\.svg$/,
8          svgo: false,
9        },
10      ],
11    },
12  },
13];

Set URL loader fallback limit

By default webpack url-loader has a fallback to file-loader that converts the file from the original extension to base64. Plugins set default as 512 bytes. So if you want to set the limit from which it should be loaded directly from url instead of base64 loading just use limit option within urlLoaderOptions.

Limits you set in bytes. Read about more options there

1urlSvgOptions: [
2  {
3    test: /\.svg$/,
4    svgoConfig: {
5      plugins: [{ name: "removeViewBox", active: false }],
6    },
7    urlLoaderOptions: {
8      limit: 512,
9    },
10  },
11];
