Rollup.js

SVGR provides an official rollup.js plugin to import SVG as React components.

Install

npm install --save-dev @svgr/rollup
# or use yarn
yarn add --dev @svgr/rollup

Usage

rollup.config.js

import svgr from '@svgr/rollup'
export default {
plugins: [svgr()],
input: 'src/main.js',
output: {
file: 'bundle.js',
format: 'cjs',
},
}

Your code

import Star from './star.svg'
const App = () => (
<div>
<Star />
</div>
)

Options

SVGR let you specify options in a runtime config file like svgr.config.js or directly in the rollup.js plugin:

rollup.config.js

import svgr from '@svgr/rollup'
export default {
plugins: [svgr({ icon: true })],
input: 'src/main.js',
output: {
file: 'bundle.js',
format: 'cjs',
},
}

SVGR options reference describes all options available.

Using with @rollup/plugin-url

It is possible to use it with @rollup/plugin-url.

rollup.config.js

import url from '@rollup/plugin-url'
import svgr from '@svgr/rollup'
export default {
plugins: [url(), svgr({ icon: true })],
input: 'src/main.js',
output: {
file: 'bundle.js',
format: 'cjs',
},
}

Your code

import starUrl, { ReactComponent as Star } from './star.svg'
const App = () => (
<div>
<img src={starUrl} alt="star" />
<Star />
</div>
)

The named export defaults to ReactComponent, but can be customized with the namedExport option.

Please note that by default, @svgr/rollup will try to export the React Component via default export if there is no other plugin handling svg files with default export. When there is already any other plugin using default export for svg files, @svgr/rollup will always export the React component via named export.

If you prefer named export in any case, you may set the exportType option to named.

Use your own Babel configuration

By default, @svgr/rollup applies a babel transformation with optimized configuration. In some case you may want to apply a custom one (if you are using Preact for an example). You can turn off Babel transformation by specifying babel: false in options.

{
plugins: [svgr({ babel: false })]
}
