svg-to-react-webpack-loader v0.1.2

svg-to-react-webpack-loader

A webpack loader that allows you to import .svg files into a React app and have them inlined without incurring an additional HTTP request.

Also allows you to add props onto the <svg> element at run-time, and a <title> and <desc> for accessibility.

Use @svgr/webpack, add these rules to your webpack.config.js:

const webpackConfig = {
    module: {
        rules: [
            ...
            {
                type: 'asset',
                resourceQuery: /\burl\b/,  // *.svg?url
                parser: {
                    dataUrlCondition: {
                        maxSize: 200,
                    }
                }
            },
            {
                test: /\.svg$/i,
                issuer: /\.tsx$/,
                loader: '@svgr/webpack',
                options: {
                    titleProp: true,
                }
            },
            ...

And add a file to your project, types/svgr.d.ts:

declare module '*.svg' {
    const component: React.FC<React.SVGProps<SVGSVGElement> & {title?: string}>;
    export default component;
}
