Astro-svg-sprite NPM

Latest Updates! 🎉 See the change log for details.

stro-svg-sprite

A zero-dependency Astro Integration that generates a sprite.svg from SVG files in your Astro project.

Installation

This package is compatible with Astro 2.0 and above, which support the Integrations API.

To automate the installation, use the astro add command-line tool. You can initialize it via npx, yarn, or pnpm based on your preference.

npx astro add astro-svg-sprite

Alternatively, you can manually install it by running the following command in your terminal:

npm install astro-svg-sprite

Usage

Add astro-svg-sprite to your astro.config.* file:

// astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from "astro/config";
import svgSprite from "astro-svg-sprite";

export default defineConfig({
  integrations: [svgSprite()],
});

Store the SVG files to be used for the generated sprite.svg in the src/assets/images/sprite directory.

Generating the sprite.svg on build:

npm run dev

npm run build

The sprite.svg will be output to public/assets/images directory.

To use the generated sprite.svg file, create a Sprite component at components/Sprite.astro:

---
export interface props {
  name: string;
}

const { class:className, name } = Astro.props;
---
<svg class={className}>
  <use xlink:href=`${Astro.site}assets/images/sprite.svg#${name}`></use>
</svg>

Then call the Sprite.astro component on other pages.

---
import Sprite from 'components/Sprite.astro'
---
<Sprite name="fileName" class="customClassName"/>

Here is an example of an advanced full configuration. With the help of JSDoc, you can easily configure it.

// astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from "astro/config";
import svgSprite from "astro-svg-sprite";

export default defineConfig({
  integrations: [
    svgSprite({
      mode: "verbose",
      include: [
        "./src/assets/images/sprite",
        "./src/assets/images",
        "./src/assets",
      ],
      emitFile: {
        compress: "standard",
        path: "assets/images",
      },
    }),
  ],
});
