Vite Plugin: Svelte SVG Import

Transform your SVGs into Svelte components automatically — just by adding ?svelte to the import path! Simple, fast, and optimized ⚡️🧩

🚀 Features

• Import SVG files as Svelte components
• Uses SVGO for automatic optimization
• Smart caching for better build performance
• Supports both client and SSR builds
• Clean and type-safe ✅

📦 Installation

npm install svelte-svg-import
# or
yarn add svelte-svg-import
# or
pnpm add svelte-svg-import

🔌 Usage

In your vite.config.js / vite.config.ts:

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import { svelte } from '@sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte';
import { svelteSvgImportVite } from 'svelte-svg-import';

export default defineConfig({
	plugins: [svelte(), svelteSvgImportVite()],
});

Now simply import SVGs like this:

<script>
  import Logo from './logo.svg?svelte';
</script>

<Logo class="my-logo" />

🎉 Done! Your SVG is now a reusable Svelte component.

🧠 TypeScript Support

Add the type declaration to your tsconfig.json:

{
	"compilerOptions": {
		"types": ["svelte-svg-import/type"]
	}
}

📌 If you’re using JavaScript, make sure your editor loads the type declaration file svelte-svg-import/type to remove import warnings.

⚙ How It Works

This plugin:

1. Reads the SVG file
2. Optimizes SVG with SVGO
3. Wraps it into a Svelte component
4. Compiles using the Svelte compiler
5. Caches by hash for faster rebuilds
