SVG to React Loader

A Webpack Loader to turn SVGs into React Components

NOTE: version 0.4.0 is currently in beta and versions prior to that will no longer be supported. After sufficient testing can be completed that will be the latest release. Until then you can use the beta by npm install svg-react-loader@next.

Summary

A wepack loader allowing for inline usage of a SVG as a React component, or for composing individual SVGs into larger ones.

Handles namespaced attributes (xlink), and other non-react attributes/tags, on component mounting, so the returned jsx will compile cleanly with babel.

Installation

% npm install svg-react-loader

Usage

var React = require('react');
var Icon = require('babel!svg-react!../svg/my-icon.svg?name=Icon');

module.exports = React.createClass({
    render () {
        return <Icon className='normal' />;
    }
});

Documentation

Query Params

Query params can be used on the loader path, or on the resource's path. Those on the resource will override those given for the loader.

name: displayName to use for the compiled component. Defaults to using the resource's file name, capitalized and camelCased. ex. "?name=MyIcon"

tag: Override the root-level tag. If given, will blow-away any attributes given for the tag. ex.: "?tag=symbol"

attrs: Attributes to apply to the root-level tag. If a certain attribute is already assigned to the tag, the value here will override that. ex.: "?attrs={className: 'mySymbol'}"

reactDom: A string to require an alternaitve 'react-dom' module. ex.: ?reactDom=react

Dependencies

As of svg-react-loader@0.3.2 it no longer specifies any peerDependencies. It is left up to individual users to configure their local webpack installation to support this loader.

svg-react-loader requires the following dependencies:

react
react-dom
babel-loader
babel-core
babel-preset-es2015
babel-preset-react

NOTE: you can review the devDependences of the package.json file for specific version numbers.

The following cover specific dependencies and how to configure your webpack installation fro them.

Babel

As of babel@6.0 you must specify your presets to get this to work with React.

Presets can be specified as part of a Babel config as outlined in Setting up Babel 6, or you may specify Babel presets for your loader within your webpack configuration:

// file: webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
    
    loaders: [
        { test: /\.svg$/, loader: 'babel?presets[]=es2015,presets[]=react!svg-react' }
    ],

}

React Before Version 0.14.0

As of React@0.14.0 the DOM methods have been moved into its own library react-dom.

svg-react-loader requires this library to find the rendered component and update its namespaced xml attributes (and some other things).

If you do not want to install react-dom alongside your deprecated version of react, you can work-around this by creating an alias to react-dom in your webpack configuration that points to your installed version of react:

// file: webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
    
    loaders: [
        { test: /\.svg$/, loader: 'babel!svg-react' }
    ],

    // ...

    resolve: {
        alias: {
            'react-dom': __dirname + '/node_modules/react'
        }
    },

    // ...
}

Or, you can pass the correct module name to load with the query params.
