Usage

Documentation: Using loaders

Svgo-loader just passes config to the svgo library.

Put the SVGO config into loared's `options`

module.exports = {
  ...,
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.svg$/,
        use: [
          {loader: 'file-loader'},
          {
            loader: 'svgo-loader',
            options: {
              plugins: [
                {removeTitle: true},
                {convertColors: {shorthex: false}},
                {convertPathData: false}
              ]
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Or use an external config like you would with SVGO CLI

module.exports = {
  ...,
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.svg$/,
        use: [
          {loader: 'file-loader'},
          {
            loader: 'svgo-loader',
            options: {
              externalConfig: "svgo-config.yml"
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

In svgo-config.yml:

plugins:
  - removeTitle: true
  - convertPathData: false
  - convertColors:
      shorthex: false

You can use YML or JSON files as external configs.

Legacy Webpack v1 config

There is two ways of loading svgo configuration. You can pass it as a JSON string after loader name, like this:

// webpack.config.js

var svgoConfig = JSON.stringify({
  plugins: [
    {removeTitle: true},
    {convertColors: {shorthex: false}},
    {convertPathData: false}
  ]
});

module.exports = {
  ...
  module: {
    loaders: [
      {
        test: /.*\.svg$/,
        loaders: [
          'file-loader',
          'svgo-loader?' + svgoConfig
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Or you can save svgo config in your main webpack config object, and then specify name of the property in the loader query string.

However, this option will not work in Webpack 2.
This is only shown here in the documentation for backwards compatibility.

// webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  ...
  module: {
    loaders: [
      {
        test: /.*\.svg$/,
        loaders: [
          'file-loader',
          'svgo-loader?useConfig=svgoConfig1'
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  svgoConfig1: {
    plugins: [
      {removeTitle: true},
      {convertColors: {shorthex: false}},
      {convertPathData: false}
    ]
  }
}
