Sanity Plugin Inline SVG Input

Sanity Studio v3 plugin to upload and preview inline SVGs.

• Simple and easy to use
• Safe SVG sanitization with dompurify
• SVG preview in arrays
• Customizable preview component

Installation

npm install @focus-reactive/sanity-plugin-inline-svg-input

yarn add @focus-reactive/sanity-plugin-inline-svg-input

pnpm add @focus-reactive/sanity-plugin-inline-svg-input

Usage

1. Add it as a plugin in sanity.config.ts (or .js):

import { defineConfig } from 'sanity'
import { inlineSvgInput } from '@focus-reactive/sanity-plugin-inline-svg-input'

export default defineConfig({
  // ...
  plugins: [inlineSvgInput()],
})

2. Use the inlineSvg type in your schema types:

// ...
{
  fields: [
    // ...
    {
      name: 'svgIcon',
      title: 'SVG Icon',
      type: 'inlineSvg',
    },
  ]
}

That's it! Now you can use this field to upload SVG images and see the preview in your Sanity Studio.

Preview

The sections below describe how to preview your SVG within arrays, objects or your own custom preview component.

Within arrays

Sanity offers a convenient way to preview arrays out of the box, but it only allows the use of the image type in media. To provide same functionality for SVGs, we provide a ready-to-use preview component that mimics the default array preview.

To preview your SVG in arrays, use the InlineSvgPreviewItem component.
It accepts the following props:

• icon [string] - inline SVG
• title [string] - the title of the item
• subtitle [string] - the subtitle of the item

iconsList in the example below is an array of objects with icon, title and subtitle fields. To use them in preview the same way as the default array preview, only what you need is to replace default preview component with InlineSvgPreviewItem.

import { defineType } from 'sanity'
import { InlineSvgPreviewItem } from '@focus-reactive/sanity-plugin-inline-svg-input'

const IconsListItem = defineType({
  type: 'object',
  name: 'iconsListItem',
  fields: [
    {
      name: 'icon',
      type: 'inlineSvg',
    },
    {
      name: 'title',
      type: 'string',
    },
    {
      name: 'subtitle',
      type: 'string',
    },
  ],
  preview: {
    select: {
      icon: 'icon',
      title: 'title',
      subtitle: 'subtitle',
    },
  },
  components: {
    preview: ({ icon, title, subtitle }) => {
      return <InlineSvgPreviewItem icon={icon} title={title} subtitle={subtitle} />
    },
  },
})

const IconsList = defineType({
  name: 'iconsList',
  type: 'array',
  of: [{ type: IconsListItem.name }],
})

Custom preview component

If you need more customization or want to build your own preview component using SVG icons, you can use the InlineSvgPreviewComponent.

InlineSvgPreviewComponent is the smallest building block of the plugin the only purpose of which is to sanitize and render SVG.
It accepts the following props:

• value [string] - inline SVG

import { InlineSvgPreviewComponent } from '@focus-reactive/sanity-plugin-inline-svg-input'

export const PreviewComponent = ({ value }) => {
  return (
    // ...
    <InlineSvgPreviewComponent value={value} />
    // ...
  )
}

To customize the preview component, you can either:

• Pass className or style props
• Extend default styles with styled-components

import { InlineSvgPreviewComponent } from '@focus-reactive/sanity-plugin-inline-svg-input'
import styled from 'styled-components'

const StyledInlineSvg = styled(InlineSvgPreviewComponent)`
  // ...
`

Development, testing and publishing

This plugin uses @sanity/plugin-kit with default configuration for build & watch scripts.

npm run build - creates a ready to publish plugin in /dist folder.

npm run link-watch - creates a symlink from the plugin repo to the local sanity repo and watches for changes. After running this command, you will see the instructions on how to add this plugin to your Sanity Studio in the terminal.

npm publish - there is pre-publish script that prepares the plugin for publishing, you don't need to build it manually. Please run npm publish --dry-run to make sure that everything is ok before publishing.

See Testing a plugin in Sanity Studio for additional information.
