Vite SVG loader

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

<template>
  <MyIcon />
</template>

<script setup>
import MyIcon from './my-icon.svg'
</script>

Install

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

Setup

vite.config.js

import svgLoader from 'vite-svg-loader'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [vue(), svgLoader()]
})

Import params

URL

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

import iconUrl from './my-icon.svg?url'
// 'data:image/svg+xml...'

Raw

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

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

Component

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

import IconComponent from './my-icon.svg?component'
// <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

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

SVGO Configuration

vite.config.js

svgLoader({
  svgoConfig: {
    multipass: true
  }
})

Disable SVGO

vite.config.js

svgLoader({
  svgo: false
})

Skip SVGO for a single file

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

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

Use with TypeScript

If you use the loader in a Typescript project, you'll need to reference the type definitions inside vite-env.d.ts:

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