Icon SVG Inline Loader

A webpack loader that enables inlining Material Design SVGs, Ionicon SVGs, Iconic SVGs, or any SVG file into HTML.

Install

npm install --save-dev svg-icon-inline-loader

Usage

Webpack Configuration

{
  test: /\.html$/,
  loader: 'svg-icon-inline'
},

Or with html-loader:

{
  test: /\.html$/,
  loader: 'html!svg-icon-inline'
},

Within HTML

This loader recognizes 3 types of self-closing tags:

1. <mat-svg/> - Inline a Material Design SVG
2. <ion-svg/> - Inline an Ionicon SVG
3. <iconic-svg/> - Inline an Iconic SVG
4. <file-svg/> - Inline an SVG file.

Inline a Material Design SVG

<mat-svg category="navigation" name="fullscreen_exit"/>

• category: The category that Material Design specifies for that icon.
• name: The name of the icon. If the name is multi-word, it must be separated using underscores.

Inline an Ionicon SVG

<ion-svg name="ion-arrow-expand"/>

• name: The name of the icon. If the name is multi-word, it must be separated using hyphens.

Inline an Iconic SVG

<iconic-svg name="account-login"/>

• name: The name of the icon. If the name is multi-word, it must be separated using hyphens.

Inline an SVG File

<file-svg src="./icons/home.svg"/>

• src: The path of the svg file.

Features

Retained Attributes

Any attributes apart from category, name, or src, are retained. For example:

Input

<mat-svg v-if="displayHomeIcon" class="icon-home" category="action" name="home"/>

Output

<svg role="presentation" focusable="false" v-if="displayHomeIcon" class="icon-home" fill="#000000" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="24" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <path d="M10 20v-6h4v6h5v-8h3L12 3 2 12h3v8z"></path>
  <path d="M0 0h24v24H0z" fill="none"></path>
</svg>

Accessibility Improvements

A11y modifications for SVGs as recommended.

• Add role="presentation" and focusable="false" attributes.
• Remove desc and title attributes.

SVG Optimization

SVGO is used to optimize SVGs.

Applying CSS to SVGs

Inlining SVGs enables CSS to be applied to SVGs.
