Tranform SVG into React components 🦁

npm install svgr

Example

Take an icon.svg:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<svg width="48px" height="1px" viewBox="0 0 48 1" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
    <!-- Generator: Sketch 46.2 (44496) - http://www.bohemiancoding.com/sketch -->
    <title>Rectangle 5</title>
    <desc>Created with Sketch.</desc>
    <defs></defs>
    <g id="Page-1" stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd">
        <g id="19-Separator" transform="translate(-129.000000, -156.000000)" fill="#063855">
            <g id="Controls/Settings" transform="translate(80.000000, 0.000000)">
                <g id="Content" transform="translate(0.000000, 64.000000)">
                    <g id="Group" transform="translate(24.000000, 56.000000)">
                        <g id="Group-2">
                            <rect id="Rectangle-5" x="25" y="36" width="48" height="1"></rect>
                        </g>
                    </g>
                </g>
            </g>
        </g>
    </g>
</svg>

Run SVGR

svgr --no-semi --icon --replace-attr-value "#063855=currentColor" icon.svg

Output

import React from 'react'

const SvgComponent = props => (
  <svg width="1em" height="1em" viewBox="0 0 48 1" {...props}>
    <path d="M0 0h48v1H0z" fill="currentColor" fillRule="evenodd" />
  </svg>
)

export default SvgComponent

Motivation

React supports SVG out of the box, it's simpler, easier and much more powerful to have components instead of SVG files. Wrapped in a React component, your SVG is inlined in the page and you can style it using CSS.

There are a lot of similar projects, but I wanted something more solid and configurable. SVGR is based on h2x, a powerful and configurable HTML transpiler. It uses AST (like Babel) that gives a lot of power.

Command line usage

Usage: svgr [options] <file>

Options:

  -V, --version                    output the version number

  --template <file>                specify a custom template to use
  --trailing-comma <none|es5|all>  print trailing commas wherever possible when multi-line (prettier)

  -h, --help                       output usage information

Examples:
  svgr --replace-attr-value "#fff=currentColor" icon.svg

Recipes

Transform a whole directory

A whole directory can be processed, all SVG files (matching .svg or .SVG) are transformed into React components.

# Usage: svgr [-d out-dir] [src-dir]
$ svgr -d icons icons
icons/web/clock-icon.svg -> icons/web/ClockIcon.js
icons/web/wifi-icon.svg -> icons/web/WifiIcon.js
icons/spinner/cog-icon.svg -> icons/spinner/CogIcon.js
icons/spinner/spinner-icon.svg -> icons/spinner/SpinnerIcon.js

Use stdin

$ svgr < icons/web/wifi-icon.svg

Use stdin / stdout

$ svgr < icons/web/wifi-icon.svg > icons/web/WifiIcon.js

Transform icons

To create icons, two options are important:

--icon: title is removed, viewBox is preserved and SVG inherits text size
--replace-attr-value "#000000=currentColor": "#000000" is replaced by "currentColor" and SVG inherits text color

$ svgr --icon --replace-attr-value "#000000=currentColor" my-icon.svg

Target React Native

It is possible to target React Native using react-native-svg.

$ svgr --native my-icon.svg

Use a specific template

You can use a specific template.

$ svgr --template path/to/template.js my-icon.svg

Example of template:

module.exports = (opts = {}) => {
  let props = ''

  if (opts.expandProps && opts.ref) {
    props = '{svgRef, ...props}'
  } else if (opts.expandProps) {
    props = 'props'
  } else if (opts.ref) {
    props = '{svgRef}'
  }

  return (code, state) => `import React from 'react'

const ${state.componentName} = (${props}) => ${code}

export default ${state.componentName}`
}

Node API usage

SVGR can also be used programmatically:

import svgr from 'svgr'

const svgCode = `
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<svg width="88px" height="88px" viewBox="0 0 88 88" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
    <!-- Generator: Sketch 46.2 (44496) - http://www.bohemiancoding.com/sketch -->
    <title>Dismiss</title>
    <desc>Created with Sketch.</desc>
    <defs></defs>
    <g id="Blocks" stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd" stroke-linecap="square">
        <g id="Dismiss" stroke="#063855" stroke-width="2">
            <path d="M51,37 L37,51" id="Shape"></path>
            <path d="M51,51 L37,37" id="Shape"></path>
        </g>
    </g>
</svg>
`

svgr(svgCode, { prettier: false, componentName: 'MyComponent' }).then(
  jsCode => {
    console.log(jsCode)
  },
)

Webpack usage

SVGR has a Webpack loader, you can use it using following webpack.config.js:

In your webpack.config.js:

{
  test: /\.svg$/,
  use: ['svgr/webpack'],
}

In your code:

import Star from './star.svg'

const App = () => (
  <div>
    <Star />
  </div>
)

Passing options

{
  test: /\.svg$/,
  use: [
    {
      loader: 'svgr/webpack',
      options: {
        native: true,
      },
    },
  ],
}

Using with `url-loader` or `file-loader`

It is possible to use it with url-loader or file-loader.

In your webpack.config.js:

{
  test: /\.svg$/,
  use: ['svgr/webpack', 'url-loader'],
}

In your code:

import starUrl, { ReactComponent as Star } from './star.svg'

const App = () => (
  <div>
    <img src={starUrl} alt="star" />
    <Star />
  </div>
)

Use your own Babel configuration

By default, svgr/webpack includes a babel-loader with optimized configuration. In some case you may want to apply a custom one (if you are using Preact for an example). You can turn off Babel transformation by specifying babel: false in options.

// Example using preact
{
  test: /\.svg$/,
  use: [
    {
      loader: 'babel-loader',
      options: {
        presets: ['preact', 'env'],
      },
    },
    {
      loader: 'svgr/webpack',
      options: { babel: false },
    }
  ],
}

Handle SVG in CSS, Sass or Less

It is possible to detect the module that requires your SVG using Rule.issuer in Webpack. Using it you can specify two different configurations for JavaScript and the rest of your files.

{
  {
    test: /\.svg(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
    issuer: {
      test: /\.jsx?$/
    },
    use: ['babel-loader', 'svgr/webpack', 'url-loader']
  },
  {
    test: /\.svg(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
    loader: 'url-loader'
  },
}

Options

SVGR ships with a handful of customizable options, usable in both the CLI and API.

File extension

Specify a custom extension for generated files.

Default	CLI Override	API Override

Other projects

A lot of projects tried to solve this problem, unfortunately, none of them fulfills my use cases.

Using raw node:

Using command line:

Or using a Webpack loader:

Or using a browserify loader:

svg-reactify

Or using gulp / grunt plugin:

gulp-svg-to-react

Or at runtime:

Or using grunt:
