rollup-plugin-svg

Import SVG files as base64, or as Markup

Installation

 npm i -D rollup-plugin-svg

Usage

 // rollup.config.js
import svg from 'rollup-plugin-svg'

export default {
  entry: 'src/input.js',
  dest: 'dist/output.js',
  plugins: [
    svg()
  ]
}

You can then use svgs in your bundle thusly:

 import logo from './desirable-objects.svg'

// Without base64:
document.body.appendChild( logo )

// With base64:
<img src="{logo}" alt="Whatever" />

Options:

base64

Defaults to false.

Bas64 encoded SVGs will be 33% larger than the size on disk. You should therefore only use this for small images where the convenience of having them available on startup (e.g. rendering immediately to a canvas without co-ordinating asynchronous loading of several images) outweighs the cost.

Sources

This plugin was built (based on the rollup-plugin-image plugin) because it appears that the two existing suitable plugins:

rollup-plugin-image
rollup-plugin-url

don't seem to work any more. I wanted a simple solution to provide SVG images to Vudash
