Getting Started

Let’s dive into how to use the vue-svg-icon library!

Step 1: Install the Library

Start by installing the library via npm:

npm install vue-svg-icon --save-dev

Step 2: Place Your SVG Files

Put your SVG files into the src/svg directory. Please note that this directory cannot currently be configured. Ensure that the src folder is at the same level as your node_modules.

Step 3: Import vue-svg-icon

In your main.js, import the icon component as follows:

import Icon from 'vue-svg-icon/Icon.vue';
Vue.component('icon', Icon);

Step 4: Use the SVG Icon in Your Vue Component

Now you can easily use your SVG icon in your Vue component like so:

<icon name="chameleon" :scale="20"></icon>

Editing SVG with Illustrator

When creating SVGs in Illustrator, ensure the following:

• Convert all rect or line elements to path (not needed since v1.1.0).
• When saving the SVG, choose “Save As” and set CSS Properties as Presentation Attributes in the advanced settings.
• Set changeable color parts to #000000. To keep a black part unchangeable by CSS, set it to #000001.
• The color of the stroke can be controlled via the stroke property.
• Recommended size for SVG files is 200 * 200.

Troubleshooting

While using vue-svg-icon, you may encounter a few common issues. Here are some troubleshooting tips to help you out:

• Cannot find corresponding .svg file: Ensure that the name in main.js matches exactly with the filename of your SVG.
• SVG folder not found: If you see an error about the SVG folder, it’s likely due to misconfiguration. Check your folder structure to ensure src/svg exists and is correctly spelled.
• Babel configuration error: Look into your .babelrc file for issues related to missing plugins or configurations. Sometimes, rechecking the plugins can resolve the errors.
