Optimized and Easy way to use SVG files in Nuxt.js
Sprites help increase speed, maintain a consistent development workflow, and make the creation of icons much faster. SVG sprites are typically created using icons of a similar shape or form whereas larger scale graphics are one-off applications.
Demo: https://codesandbox.io/s/github/nuxt-community/svg-sprite-module/
🌈 NOTE: If you wish to load single SVG icon and you don't want to create sprites, use Nuxt SVG Module. SVG module for Nuxt.js, allows you to import .svg files in multiple ways depending on the resource query you provide.
yarn add @nuxtjs/svg-sprite
# or
npm i @nuxtjs/svg-sprite
Add @nuxtjs/svg-sprite
to modules section of nuxt.config.js
:
{
modules: [
'@nuxtjs/svg-sprite',
],
svgSprite: {
// manipulate module options
}
}
Place your svg files in ~/assets/sprite/svg/
, say sample.svg
and use your image with globally registered svg-icon
component:
<svg-icon name="sample" />
To create different sprites, create custom directory inside ~/assets/sprite/svg/
and put your svg files inside it and place directory tile before icon name (example: ~/assets/sprite/svg/my-sprite/my-image.svg
):
<svg-icon name="my-sprite/my-image" />
Module create a page that list all of icons for you, by default you can see this page in /_icons
path.
Note: This page creates in dev
mode, So you can't see it in production.
Module default options:
Option | Default | Description |

export default {
modules: ['@nuxtjs/svg-sprite'],
svgSprite: {
input: '~/assets/svg/'
}
}
