svg-loader

library0.0.2jsnpmunverified

A simple webpack loader for importing SVG files directly as inline SVG strings or elements. Version 0.0.2 is the latest; this is an unofficial, likely low-maintenance loader. It provides a basic alternative to more feature-rich loaders like svg-inline-loader or raw-loader. Bundles as inline SVG, but lacks advanced optimization and caching features. Consider svgo-loader for optimization or @svgr/webpack for React components instead.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ import svgContent from './file.svg';

✗ const svgContent = require('./file.svg');

Works with webpack's SVG loader; returns the SVG as a string. Ensure loader is configured in webpack config.

named export

✓ import { ReactComponent } from './file.svg';

✗ import ReactComponent from './file.svg';

If you want to use SVG as React component, use @svgr/webpack instead. This loader does not provide ReactComponent export.

no default import from CommonJS

✓ const svgContent = require('./file.svg');

✗ const { default: svgContent } = require('./file.svg');

When using require(), the SVG content is returned directly as a string.

Configures webpack to use svg-loader for SVG files; then import SVG files to get their content as strings.

// webpack.config.js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.svg$/, use: 'svg-loader' } ] } };

Debug

Known issues

breakingThe loader expects SVGs to be valid XML and may fail silently if not.

fix

Ensure SVGs are well-formed; use additional validation or preprocessing.

affects: all

gotchaLoader returns SVG as a string, not a parsed DOM element or React component.

fix

Use dangerouslySetInnerHTML for HTML rendering, or switch to @svgr/webpack for React usage.

affects: all

gotchaNo optimization or cleanup is performed; SVGs with embedded JavaScript may execute.

fix

Sanitize SVGs before use, or switch to a loader with SVGO integration like svgo-loader.
