vite-plugin-fast-react-svg

Turn SVG into React components, without Babel.

⚠️ This plugin expects svg to be cleanup by svgo with convertStyleToAttrs enable. You can also use the web version and toggle Style to attributes.

Why

While svgr is great, it uses AST transformation from Babel, which is too slow (~300ms per SVG). This plugin uses regex manipulations and dangerouslySetInnerHTML, which is almost instantaneous. It's working well for SVG optimized by svgo.

Installation

npm i -D vite-plugin-fast-react-svg

In your vite config:

import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import { svgPlugin } from "vite-plugin-fast-react-svg";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [svgPlugin()],
});

In tsconfig.json:

{
  compilerOptions: {
    types: ["vite-plugin-fast-react-svg/types", "vite/client"],
  },
}

If you use a custom .d.ts file instead of tsconfig.json to include Vite Client Types, you will need to modify it accordingly:

/// <reference types="vite-plugin-fast-react-svg/types" />
/// <reference types="vite/client" />

N.B: You only need to include Vite Client Types via tsconfig.json or a custom d.ts file. Both are not needed, so if you have included the types in tsconfig.json you can safely delete your .d.ts file.

Usage

import Logo from "./logo.svg";

const Example = () => (
  <>
    <Logo />
  </>
);
