A React component that injects SVG into the DOM.

Let's say you have an SVG available at some URL, and you'd like to inject it into the DOM for various reasons. This module does the heavy lifting for you by delegating the process to SVGInjector, which makes an AJAX request for the SVG and then swaps in the SVG markup inline. The async loaded SVG is also cached, so multiple uses of an SVG only require a single server request.

import React from 'react'
import { render } from 'react-dom'
import ReactSVG from 'react-svg'

render(<ReactSVG src="svg.svg" />, document.getElementById('root'))

Props

• src - The SVG URL.
• afterInjection(err, svg) - Optional Function to call after the SVG is injected. If an injection error occurs, err is an Error object. Otherwise, err is null and svg is the injected SVG DOM element. Defaults to () => {}.
• beforeInjection(svg) - Optional Function to call just before the SVG is injected. svg is the SVG DOM element which is about to be injected. Defaults to () => {}.
• evalScripts - Optional Run any script blocks found in the SVG. One of 'always', 'once', or 'never'. Defaults to 'never'.
• fallback - Optional Fallback to use if an injection error occurs. Can be a string, class component, or function component. Defaults to null.
• loading - Optional Component to use during loading. Can be a string, class component, or function component. Defaults to null.
• renumerateIRIElements - Optional Boolean indicating if SVG IRI addressable elements should be renumerated. Defaults to true.
• wrapper - Optional Wrapper element types. One of 'div' or 'span'. Defaults to 'div'.

Other non-documented properties are applied to the outermost wrapper element.

Example

<ReactSVG
  src="svg.svg"
  afterInjection={(error, svg) => {
    if (error) {
      console.error(error)
      return
    }
    console.log(svg)
  }}
  beforeInjection={svg => {
    svg.classList.add('svg-class-name')
    svg.setAttribute('style', 'width: 200px')
  }}
  evalScripts="always"
  fallback={() => <span>Error!</span>}
  loading={() => <span>Loading</span>}
  renumerateIRIElements={false}
  wrapper="span"
  className="wrapper-class-name"
  onClick={() => {
    console.log('wrapper onClick')
  }}
/>

⚠️This library depends on @tanem/svg-injector, which uses Array.from(). If you're targeting browsers that don't support that method, you'll need to ensure an appropriate polyfill is included manually. See this issue comment for further detail.
