Why

When you import the .svg file as a Vue component instead of using the URL to the file, you can style it with CSS and add addtional DOM properties or event handlers to the component directly.

The differences between this project and vue-svg-loader are:

  • This one has built-in hot reloading support for webpack since the SVG code is compiled via vue-loader.
  • The latter only supports class and style attributes on the generated component while we support all DOM props and events.
  • This one supports project-wise and file-relative configuration for SVGO.

Install

yarn add svg-to-vue-component --dev

Usage

With Webpack

// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.svg$/,
        use: [
          // This loader compiles .svg file to .vue file
          // So we use `vue-loader` after it
          'vue-loader',
          'svg-to-vue-component/loader'
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  // ...other configurations
}

Then you can import .svg files directly and use them as Vue functional components:

<template>
  <!-- Dom props and events are all available here -->
  <CheckIcon width="20px" height="20px" @click="handleClick" />
</template>

<script>
import CheckIcon from './check-icon.svg'

export default {
  components: {
    CheckIcon
  },

  methods: {
    handleClick() {
      console.log('It works!')
    }
  }
}
</script>

With Vue CLI or Poi

In your vue.config.js or poi.config.js:

module.exports = {
  chainWebpack(config) {
    // Remove existing SVG rule which uses file-loader
    config.module.rules.delete('svg')

    // Use our loader instead
    config.module.rule('svg')
      .test(/\.svg$/)
      .use('vue')
      .loader('vue-loader')
        .end()
      .use('svg-to-vue-component')
      .loader('svg-to-vue-component/loader')
  }
}

Nuxt.js 2

In your nuxt.config.js:

module.exports = {
  build: {
    extend(config) {
      const imageLoaderRule = config.module.rules.find(
        rule => rule.test && rule.test.test('.svg')
      )
      if (!imageLoaderRule) {
        throw new Error('Cannot find the existing webpack rule for .svg files')
      }
      
      // Don't process .svg files in default image rule
      // from https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt.js/blob/76b10d2d3f4e5352f1c9d14c52008f234e66d7d5/lib/builder/webpack/base.js#L203
      imageLoaderRule.test = /\.(png|jpe?g|gif|webp)$/

      // Add a new rule for .svg file
      config.module.rules.push({
        test: /\.svg$/,
        use: ['vue-loader', 'svg-to-vue-component/loader']
      })
    },
  },
};

Loader Options

Pass loader options like this:

// ...
{
  test: /\.svg$/,
  use: [
    'vue-loader',
    {
      loader: 'svg-to-vue-component/loader',
      options: {
        // ...Your options here
      }
    }
  ]
}
Option Description
svgoConfig Project-wise configuration for SVGO, if you want file-relative configuration, use the config file instead, supported format: .svgo.{yml,js,json}, see here for an example file. If you want to turn off SVGO entirely, pass false here.
