Nuxt Svgo Loader

Nuxt module to load SVG files as Vue components, using SVGO for optimization.

Features

• 📁 Load SVG files as Vue components.
• 🎨 Optimize SVGs using SVGO.
• 🔧 Virtual <SvgoIcon> component for easy SVG usage.
• 🛠️ Seamless integration with Nuxt DevTools.

Installation

Install and add nuxt-svgo-loader to your nuxt.config.

npx nuxi@latest module add nuxt-svgo-loader

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['nuxt-svgo-loader'],
  svgoLoader: {
    // Options here will be passed to `vite-svg-loader`
  },
})

!NOTE Since nuxt-svgo-loader is a Nuxt module based on vite-svg-loader, the configuration for svgoLoader remains identical to that of vite-svg-loader. You can refer to the documentation of vite-svg-loader for the available options here.

Usage

SvgoIcon Component

The easiest way to use SVG icons is through the virtual <SvgoIcon> component. This component automatically resolves and imports SVG files at build time based on the name prop:

<template>
  <div>
    <!-- Automatically imports ~/your-svg-folder/nuxt.svg as a component -->
    <SvgoIcon name="nuxt" width="92" height="92" fill="#00DC82" />
    
    <!-- Use strategy prop to modify SVG processing -->
    <SvgoIcon name="vue" strategy="skipsvgo" />
  </div>
</template>

The <SvgoIcon> component:

• Automatically transforms to the corresponding imported SVG component
• Supports import strategies via the strategy prop (component, skipsvgo)
• Provides type safety for available SVG names
• Only works within Vue SFC <template> blocks

The above template gets transformed at build time to:

<script setup lang="ts">
import NuxtSvg from '~/your-svg-folder/nuxt.svg?component'
import VueSvg from '~/your-svg-folder/vue.svg?skipsvgo'
</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <NuxtSvg width="92" height="92" fill="#00DC82" />
    <VueSvg />
  </div>
</template>

Namespaces

You can use namespaces to organize your SVG files. For example, if you have a folder structure like this:

assets/
└── svg/
    ├── nuxt.svg
    └── vue.svg

In your nuxt.config.ts, add an item in svgoLoader.namespaces:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['nuxt-svgo-loader'],
  svgoLoader: {
    namespaces: [
      {
        prefix: 'my-icon',
        dir: './app/assets/svg',
      },
    ],
  },
})

Then you can use the icons like this:

<template>
  <div>
    <SvgoIcon name="my-icon:nuxt" width="92" height="92" fill="#00DC82" />
    <SvgoIcon name="my-icon:vue" strategy="skipsvgo" />
  </div>
</template>

By default, namespaces is disabled. All SVG files under app/ will be scanned. When namespaces is enabled, only the specified directories will be included.

Manual Import

Component

SVGs can be explicitly imported as Vue components using the ?component suffix:

import NuxtSvg from '~/assets/svg/nuxt.svg'
// <NuxtSvg />

URL

SVGs can be imported as URLs using the ?url suffix:

import nuxtSvgUrl from '~/assets/svg/nuxt.svg?url'
// nuxtSvgUrl === '/_nuxt/assets/svg/nuxt.svg'

Raw

SVGs can be imported as raw strings using the ?raw suffix:

import nuxtSvgRaw from '~/assets/svg/nuxt.svg?raw'
// nuxtSvgRaw === '<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" ...'

Skip SVGO for a single file

SVGO can be explicitly disabled for one file by adding the ?skipsvgo suffix:

import NuxtSvgWithoutOptimizer from '~/assets/svg/nuxt.svg?skipsvgo'
// <NuxtSvgWithoutOptimizer />

DevTools

This module adds a new tab to the Nuxt DevTools, which allows you to inspect the SVG files.
