SVG Sprite Plugin for webpack:

It is difficult to imagine, but it works. Almost the same as transfer-webpack-plugin

What i want?

Collection of svg`s in /app/source/sprite/**, and they are all must be compiled as one svg sprite file, and moved to public directory, or somewhere else, for ex. include inline to .pug file.

File structure (example, you can customize):

yourApp/
  public/
    index.html *
    sprite.svg   -> compiled file

  source/
    js/
      ***

    sprite/
      heart.svg
      plus.svg
      some.svg
      even/
        folders/
          it-works.svg    -> xlink:href="#svg-it-works"

Install:

npm i svgsprite-plugin -D

Setup:

let SvgSpritePlugin = require('svgsprite-plugin');
let path = require('path');


module.exports = {
  context: path.resolve(root, 'source'),

  entry: {
    main: 'js/main.js'
  },

  output: {
    path: path.resolve(root, 'public'),
    publicPath: '/',
    filename: 'assets/js/[name].js',
    chunkFilename: 'assets/js/[name].[id].js'
  },

  plugins: [
    new SvgSpritePlugin({
      // config, not necessary
    })
  ]
};

Config defaults:

{
  // mean /yourApp/source/sprite  ->  exports.context as root
  source: 'sprite',

  // mean /yourApp/public/%HERE%  ->  exports.output.path as root
  dest: './',

  // <svg class="svg-icon">
  //   <use xlink:href="sprite.svg#svg-box"></use>
  // </svg>
  prefix: 'svg-'
}

Will compile:

/yourApp/source/sprite/**/*.svg > /yourApp/public/sprite.svg

Nice to know:

new SvgSpritePlugin({
  dest: '../source/'
});

Will compile sprite to your source directory, and you can include it inline =)

Warning. You should optimize your svgs by yourself
