vue-svg-inline-loader

Webpack loader used for inline replacement of SVG images with actual content of SVG files in Vue projects.

Loader parses only HTML template format.

Loader has built-in SVGO support for SVG optimization.

Sprite option works only with Vue Single File Component approach.

Notable changes

• v1.2.11
  • Fixed a bug where original svg attributes were used by referencing svg rather than symbol itself. This may introduce breaking changes for developers who rely on this bugged behavior.
• v1.2.6
  • Modified default value of svgo option to preserve viewBox attribute
  • Modified svgo option to accept true value as alias for default configuration
• v1.2.5
  • Modified svgo option to accept null or false value for disabling SVG optimization
• v1.2.3
  • Changed default value of md5 option to true
  • Added examples for webpack, vue-cli and nuxt based projects
• v1.2.0
  • Upgraded Babel to version 7
  • Refactored code to ES6 syntax
  • Added new option: dataAttributes
  • Options are now deep-merged
• v1.1.3
  • Added transpiled version of loader
• v1.1.0
  • Added new option: md5
• v1.0.8
  • Options structure changed, deprecated options still get parsed to new ones
• v1.0.0
  • Initial release based on my img-svg-inline-loader project

Install

Via npm [package]:

$ npm install vue-svg-inline-loader --save-dev

Via yarn [package]:

$ yarn add vue-svg-inline-loader --dev

Usage

With webpack - webpack.config.js:

module.exports = {
	module: {
		rules: [
			{
				test: /\.vue$/,
				use: [
					{
						loader: "vue-loader",
						options: { /* ... */ }
					},
					{
						loader: "vue-svg-inline-loader",
						options: { /* ... */ }
					}
				]
			}
		]
	}
};

With vue-cli - vue.config.js:

module.exports = {
	chainWebpack: config => {
		config.module
			.rule("vue")
			.use("vue-svg-inline-loader")
				.loader("vue-svg-inline-loader")
				.options({ /* ... */ });
	}
};

It can also be used for Gridsome - gridsome.config.js.

With nuxt - nuxt.config.js:

module.exports = {
	build: {
		extend(config, { isDev, isClient }) {
			const vueRule = config.module.rules.find(rule => rule.test.test(".vue"));
			vueRule.use = [
				{
					loader: vueRule.loader,
					options: vueRule.options
				},
				{
					loader: "vue-svg-inline-loader",
					options: { /* ... */ }
				}
			];
			delete vueRule.loader;
			delete vueRule.options;
		}
	}
};

Basic inline SVG usage with svg-inline keyword directive:

<img svg-inline class="icon" src="./images/example.svg" alt="example" />

Which replaces into:

<svg svg-inline class="icon" focusable="false" role="presentation" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="...">
	<path d="..."></path>
</svg>

Basic inline SVG sprite usage with svg-sprite keyword directive:

<img svg-inline svg-sprite class="icon" src="./images/example.svg" alt="example" />

Which replaces into:

<!-- will get injected right after root opening tag in Vue component -->
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" style="display: none !important;">
	<symbol id="svg-sprite-md5hash" viewBox="...">
		<path d="..."></path>
	</symbol>
	<!-- ... -->
</svg>
<!-- ... -->
<svg svg-inline svg-sprite class="icon" focusable="false" role="presentation" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
	<use xlink:href="#svg-sprite-md5hash" href="#svg-sprite-md5hash"></use>
</svg>

Notice

Loader won't parse any images with Vue bindings used as src attribute [more info].

Configuration

Default options:

{
	inline: {
		keyword: "svg-inline",
		strict: true
	},
	sprite: {
		keyword: "svg-sprite",
		strict: true
	},
	dataAttributes: [],
	removeAttributes: ["alt", "src"],
	md5: true,
	xhtml: false,
	svgo: true
/* value true for svgo option is alias for:
	svgo: {
		plugins: [
			{
				removeViewBox: false
			}
		]
	}
*/
}

Explanation:

• inline.keyword:
  Defines keyword, which marks images you want to replace with inline SVG. Keyword has to be wrapped with whitespace characters (e.g. space). In case of some conflicts, you can also use data version of your keyword (e.g. data-keyword).

• inline.strict:
  In strict mode loader replaces only images with defined keyword. If strict mode is disabled, loader replaces all images.

• sprite.keyword:
  Defines keyword, which marks images you want to replace with inline SVG using inline sprites. Keyword has to be wrapped with whitespace characters (e.g. space). In case of some conflicts, you can also use data version of your keyword (e.g. data-keyword).

• sprite.strict:
  In strict mode loader replaces only images with defined keyword. If strict mode is disabled, loader replaces all images.

• dataAttributes:
  Array of attributes which will be renamed to data-attributes.

• removeAttributes:
  Array of attributes which will be removed.

• md5:
  Use md5-encoded resource path as ID for inline SVG sprites instead of plaintext. Set it to false only for development purposes.

• xhtml:
  In XHTML mode attribute minimization is forbidden. Empty attributes are filled with their names to be XHTML-compliant (e.g. disabled="disabled").

• svgo:
  Pass SVGO configuration object (documentation can be found here) or true for default configuration. Pass null or false to disable SVG optimization.

Notice

User-defined options are deep-merged with default options. Arrays are not concatenated.
