Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

react-native-svg-transformer NPM version Downloads per month contributions welcome

React Native SVG transformer allows you to import SVG files in your React Native project the same way that you would in a Web application when using a library like SVGR to transform your imported SVG images into React components.

This makes it possible to use the same code for React Native and Web.

Usage

Import your .svg file inside a React component:

import Logo from "./logo.svg";

You can then use your image as a component:

<Logo width={120} height={40} />

Demo / Expo demo (iOS/Android/Web)

Installation and configuration

Step 1: Install react-native-svg library

Make sure that you have installed the react-native-svg library:

  • https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-svg#installation

Step 2: Install react-native-svg-transformer library

yarn add --dev react-native-svg-transformer

Step 3: Configure the react native packager

For Expo SDK v41.0.0 or newer

Merge the contents from your project's metro.config.js file with this config (create the file if it does not exist already).

metro.config.js:

const { getDefaultConfig } = require("expo/metro-config");

module.exports = (() => {
  const config = getDefaultConfig(__dirname);

  const { transformer, resolver } = config;

  config.transformer = {
    ...transformer,
    babelTransformerPath: require.resolve("react-native-svg-transformer")
  };
  config.resolver = {
    ...resolver,
    assetExts: resolver.assetExts.filter((ext) => ext !== "svg"),
    sourceExts: [...resolver.sourceExts, "svg"]
  };

  return config;
})();

For React Native v0.72.1 or newer

Merge the contents from your project's metro.config.js file with this config (create the file if it does not exist already).

metro.config.js:

const { getDefaultConfig, mergeConfig } = require("@react-native/metro-config");

const defaultConfig = getDefaultConfig(__dirname);
const { assetExts, sourceExts } = defaultConfig.resolver;

/**
 * Metro configuration
 * https://facebook.github.io/metro/docs/configuration
 *
 * @type {import('metro-config').MetroConfig}
 */
const config = {
  transformer: {
    babelTransformerPath: require.resolve("react-native-svg-transformer")
  },
  resolver: {
    assetExts: assetExts.filter((ext) => ext !== "svg"),
    sourceExts: [...sourceExts, "svg"]
  }
};

module.exports = mergeConfig(defaultConfig, config);

For React Native v0.59 or newer

Merge the contents from your project's metro.config.js file with this config (create the file if it does not exist already).

metro.config.js:

const { getDefaultConfig } = require("metro-config");

module.exports = (async () => {
  const {
    resolver: { sourceExts, assetExts }
  } = await getDefaultConfig();
  return {
    transformer: {
      babelTransformerPath: require.resolve("react-native-svg-transformer")
    },
    resolver: {
      assetExts: assetExts.filter((ext) => ext !== "svg"),
      sourceExts: [...sourceExts, "svg"]
    }
  };
})();

Using TypeScript

If you are using TypeScript, you need to add this to your declarations.d.ts file (create one if you don't have one already):

declare module "*.svg" {
  import React from "react";
  import { SvgProps } from "react-native-svg";
  const content: React.FC<SvgProps>;
  export default content;
}

Configuring SVGR (how SVG images get transformed)

SVGR has a configuration file, which makes it possible for you to customize how SVG images get transformed to React/React Native.

Read more about the configuration options: Configuring SVGR and SVGR options.

For example, if you want to change SVG image's fill color from red to currentColor (keep in mind that this will be used for all SVG images in your app).

.svgrrc (create the file in your project's root folder if it does not exist)

{
  "replaceAttrValues": {
    "red": "currentColor"
  }
}

Changing SVG fill color in JS Code

Edit your .svgrrc file and include a line for replaceAttrValues that matching a hex code to {props.fill}

{
  "replaceAttrValues": {
    "#000": "{props.fill}"
  }
}

And then make sure your path tag inside the SVG file fill attribute is the hex code (in this case #000).

<svg width="14" height="14" viewBox="0 0 14 14" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <path d="M2.965 6.0925C4.045 8.215 ..." fill="#000"/>
</svg>

You can then use your image as a component:

<Logo width={120} height={40} fill={"any color"} />

Usage with Jest

To use Jest to test your React Native components that import .svg images, you need to add this configuration that mocks the SVG images that are transformed to React components:

// __mocks__/svgMock.js
module.exports = "SvgMock";

Then, depending on where you have your Jest configuration:

// package.json
{
  "jest": {
    "moduleNameMapper": {
      "\\.svg": "<rootDir>/__mocks__/svgMock.js"
    }
  }
}

or

// jest.config.js
module.exports = {
  moduleNameMapper: {
    "\\.svg": "<rootDir>/__mocks__/svgMock.js"
  }
};

Rendering custom fonts in iOS

At the moment react-native-svg does not support custom font families in iOS right out of the box. A workaround is to take your .svg with custom fonts and convert it to outlines. This will replace text tags for path tags in your .svg file.

Dependencies

In addition to React Native, this transformer depends on the following libraries:
