react-app-rewire-external-svg-loader

Adds external-svg-sprite-loader for CRA apps, using react-app-rewired.

Installation

$ npm install --save-dev react-app-rewire-external-svg-loader

Usage

In the config-overrides.js you created for react-app-rewired add this code:

module.exports = (config, env) => {
    config = require('react-app-rewire-external-svg-loader')(config, env, { /* options */ });
 
    // You may apply other rewires as well
 
    return config;
}

If you are using the compose utility of react-app-rewired:

const { compose } = require('react-app-rewired');
 
module.exports = compose(
    require('react-app-rewire-external-svg-loader')({ /* options */ })
    // ... other rewires
)

Available options:

Name	Description	Type	Default
test	The loader test pattern	string/RegExp	/\.svg$/
include	The loader include condition	string/Array/RegExp/Function	src folder
exclude	The loader exclude condition	string/Array/RegExp/Function
loaderOptions	The options to pass to the loader	Object	{ name: 'static/media/svg-sprite.[hash:8].svg' } for production, { name: 'static/media/svg-sprite.svg' } otherwise
pluginOptions	The options to pass to the loader	Object	{}

If you modify include and exclude to point to packages in node_modules, it's advised to use fs.realpathSync so that it plays well with packages linked with npm link. Alternatively, you may disable resolve.symlinks in your webpack configuration.

svgxuse

You might want to use svgxuse if you want to support IE9-11 or if you are serving the sprite from another origin, such as a CDN.

If that's the case, you may load it using a dynamic import to defer it by adding the following code to src/index.js:

// ...
import('svgxuse').catch(() => {});
