responsive-loader VS svgr

the ATypeThatDescribesYourImageLoader type could be an interface that describes what your image loader returns. For example I use https://github.com/dazuaz/responsive-loader so I have types like so

You can access any images or videos you drop in the studio via mediaFiles variable which is an object where file names are the keys. Implicitly there is a Webpack Responsive Loader involved which gives you src and placeholder.

//@ts-check // eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-var-requires const { composePlugins, withNx } = require('@nx/next'); /** * @type {import('@nx/next/plugins/with-nx').WithNxOptions} **/ const nextConfig = { nx: { // Set this to true if you would like to use SVGR // See: https://github.com/gregberge/svgr svgr: false, }, }; const plugins = [ // Add more Next.js plugins to this list if needed. withNx, ]; module.exports = composePlugins(...plugins)(nextConfig);

Most of the time, developers tend to add svg images to an assets directory and import them either directly or as a React component. This process not only increases your app bundle size but also makes managing all the assets difficult. What if there was a way to manage all the application icons like the way we import them from any other icon library? Yes, react-svgr helps you manage all the icons in your React application.

If you are using react, there is a tool called SVGR, which will take in an SVG file and return a react component with all the props. This can be really useful if you want to treat SVG more like a markup that will be embedded directly into your HTML. This becomes really helpful when you want to style SVG through props or add transformations and animations. Using SVG directly in markup has so many perks and advantages to the point i don't use them as source in image tags.

Really interesting framework agnostic approach, but I think SVGR is a better option for my React homies. It imports an SVG file as a React component. Shouts also to react-icons if Font Awesome, Material Icons and friends are more your bag.

SVGR

There is another way to import an SVG in Create React App, though. We can import the SVG as a ReactComponent. This is because CRA leverages SVGR to process SVGs.

const { types } = require('@babel/core'); module.exports = { ... template: function svgrCustomTemplate( { imports, interfaces, componentName, props, jsx, exports }, { tpl } ) { // меняем корневой элемент на SvgIcon jsx.openingElement.name.name = 'SvgIcon'; jsx.closingElement.name.name = 'SvgIcon'; // https://github.com/gregberge/svgr/issues/530 // при изменении корневого элемента пропадает спред пропсов // поэтому необходимо добавить спред пропсов самостоятельно jsx.openingElement.attributes.push( types.jSXSpreadAttribute(types.identifier('props')) ); return tpl` ${imports}; import { SvgIcon } from '../SvgIcon'; ${interfaces}; const ${componentName} = (${props}) => ( ${jsx} ); ${exports}; ` } }

Is this an icon or icon set? Because you can absolutely change SVG icons into react components with SVGR. https://react-svgr.com/
