Hey Everyone, this is my first post and i'll mention about SVGR. If you've never heard of it before, SVGR is an amazing tool that converts your SVGs into React components.
There are a few ways for using SVGR:
1. Playground
You can use their online playground. Enter your svg code in the left box (SVG INPUT) then you will see the converted React component on right box (JSX OUTPUT).
You can also create components for React-Native, TypeScript etc. You just need to mark from the left of the screen.
2. Command Line
First you need to install the CLI tool:
npm install @svgr/cli --save-dev
//or use yarn
yarn add @svgr/cli --dev
Now let's think we have an svg named "my_icon.svg" in the project directory. If we write this command line to terminal we will get the code of the our component.
npx @svgr/cli my_icon.svg
import * as React from "react";
function SvgMyIcon(props) {
return (
<svg
height={512}
viewBox="0 0 499.859 499.859"
width={512}
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
{...props}

export default SvgMyIcon;
Well, but if we have more than one icon, converting them one by one can be a bit boring and exhausting. One of the best ways to using SVGR is add a script to your package.json to automate the SVG transformation.
// package.json
{
"scripts": {
"svgr": "svgr icons -d components/icons --icon"
}
}
When we run the script below transforms each SVG in the "icons" folder by composing React in "components/icons".
npm run svgr
3. Webpack
For install:
npm install @svgr/webpack --save-dev
//or use yarn
yarn add @svgr/webpack --dev
Now update your webpack.config.js:
// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.svg$/,
use: ['@svgr/webpack'],
},
],
},
}
Now we can import our SVGs as a React component and use it:
import React from 'react';
import MyIcon from './my_icon.svg';
const App = () => {
return (
<div className="App">
<MyIcon />
</div>
);
}
export default App;
