The @svgr/webpack is a powerful, developer-friendly Webpack loader for the SVGR. Its main duty is to transform SVG files into React components, simplifying the process of utilizing SVG-based images and vector graphics into React applications. This aids in a smoother workflow for developers while also helping in enhanced performance and optimization of React-based applications.
To incorporate @svgr/webpack into a project, begin by installing it via npm using the command npm install @svgr/webpack --save-dev. Once installed, set the appropriate configurations in your webpack.config.js file to include @svgr/webpack. A standard usage pattern looks like:
{
test: /\.svg$/,
use: ['@svgr/webpack'],
}
While using within your React application:
import Star from './star.svg'
const App = () => (
<div>
<Star />
</div>
)
It's also possible to pass proprietary configurations, use @svgr/webpack with url-loader or file-loader, or even apply a custom Babel transformation if desired. The configurations can be quite flexible to suit specific project needs.
{
test: /\.svg$/,
use: [
{
loader: '@svgr/webpack',
options: {
native: true,
},
},
],
}
The loader can also handle SVG files being requested from CSS, Sass, or Less files, giving developers ubiquitous control over SVG usage across the entire application.
