👋 Getting started
Installation
$ ember install ember-svg-jar
Start in 3 easy steps
1️⃣ Drop some SVG images to the
public
directory (e.g. material-design-icons)2️⃣ Open the asset viewer and select any icon you like
3️⃣ Copy the helper code from the viewer and paste it to your template
🎮 Usage
Place your SVG images to the public
directory (e.g. ./public/images/my-icon.svg
). Then copy the helper code for your image from the asset viewer or just write it by hand like this: {{svg-jar "my-icon"}}
.
The viewer is available at: http://localhost:4200/ember-svg-jar/index.html
If your rootURL
is not /
, then to use the asset viewer you will need to add rootURL
to the addon config.
Helper
Use the svg-jar
helper to embed SVG images to your application's templates.
For the default inline
embedding strategy you can write:
{{svg-jar 'my-cool-icon' class='icon' width='24px'}}
The helper takes an asset ID and optional attributes that will be added to the created SVG element. The example above will create an SVG like this:
<svg class='icon' width='24px'>...</svg>
For the symbol
strategy you will need to add #
to the asset ID like this:
{{svg-jar '#my-cool-icon'}}
In this case the result can look like this:
<svg><use xlink:href='#my-cool-icon'></use></svg>
Accessibility
Pass title
, desc
, and role
as properties to the helper in order to include accessible elements or attributes. aria-labelledby
will be automatically added and point to title
and/or desc
if they are included.
Writing this:
{{svg-jar 'my-cool-icon' role='img' title='Icon' desc='A very cool icon'}}
Will create an SVG that looks like this:
<svg role="img" aria-labelledby="title desc">
<title id="title">Icon</title>
<desc id="desc">A very cool icon<desc>
</svg>
Assets from Node modules
By default ember-svg-jar
looks for SVGs in the public
directory. To get SVGs from node_modules
packages or any other directory you will need to add them to ember-cli-build.js
like this:
var app = new EmberApp(defaults, {
svgJar: {
sourceDirs: [
'node_modules/material-design-icons/file/svg/design',
'node_modules/material-design-icons/action/svg/design',
'public/images/icons',
],
},
});

Usage in an addon
Using ember-svg-jar
in an addon is the same as in an app, except that in the package.json
of the addon, it should be listed as one of the dependencies
and not devDependencies
.
🔧 Configuration
The addon should be useful without any configuration. But it wants to be very configurable when it's time to adjust it for your needs.
❓ FAQ
Q: Will the asset viewer affect my production build size?
A: No, it won't at all. The asset viewer is included in development mode only.
Q: Can it find SVG icons outside of the public directory, e.g. from node_modules?
A: Yes, it can import SVGs from any directory defined in the sourceDirs array.
Q: Why the SVG files deployed into the dist/assets folder without being fingerprinted?
A: This is done with the default ember cli behaviour. For more information see SVG Fingerprinting.
Q: Why does this matter?
- Why GitHub switched from an icon font to SVG
- "Inline SVG vs icon fonts" from css-tricks
- Ten reasons to switch from an icon font to SVG
Q: Why would you switch from Font Awesome to SVG?
- original Font Awesome is about
149 KB
as TTF and88.3 KB
as WOFF - it includes
634
icons and you need just some of them usually - 20 Font Awesome icons in SVGJar will be about 4.3 KB (you save
84 KB
or145 KB
as TTF) - 50 Font Awesome icons in SVGJar will be about
9 KB
You can get Font Awesome icons as individual SVG files from font-awesome-svg.
