ng-inline-svg

⚠️　This package is deprecated and not maintained. ⚠️

Demo

Formerly called ng2-inline-svg

Angular directive for inserting an SVG inline within an element, allowing for easily styling with CSS like fill: currentColor;.

This is based on md-icon, except this is meant purely for inserting SVG files within an element, without the extra things like font icons.

Installation

npm install --save ng-inline-svg

Usage

Add HttpClientModule and InlineSVGModule to your list of module imports:

import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';
import { InlineSVGModule } from 'ng-inline-svg';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  imports: [BrowserModule, HttpClientModule, InlineSVGModule.forRoot()],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
class AppModule {}

The base URL will be automatically fetched based on your `` tag. If you want to configure the base URL manually, you can use the forRoot function:

InlineSVGModule.forRoot({ baseUrl: 'https://mysite.com/myapp/' })

You can then use the directive in your templates:

@Component({
  selector: 'app',
  template: `
    <div aria-label="My icon" class="my-icon"></div>
  `
})
export class AppComponent {}

The SVG file (if found) will be inserted inside the element with the [inlineSVG] directive. Support for icons using the symbol method is also supported (e.g. [inlineSVG]="'#shape-id'").

Server-side rendering with Angular Universal

The SVG files can also be rendered server-side. For this to work, you have to set the baseURL, since Angular needs to have an absolute URL to retrieve the files server-side and we're not able to get your baseURL automatically in a server-side environment. See manual for setting baseURL above.

Here is one way to achieve this dynamically by adding an app initalizing service which sets the base URL based on the environment it runs.

app-server.module.ts:

import { NgModule, APP_INITIALIZER } from '@angular/core';
import { InlineSVGConfig } from 'ng-inline-svg';
import { SVGConfig } from './svg-config';

@NgModule({
  providers: [
    { provide: InlineSVGConfig, useClass: SVGConfig }
  ]
})
export class AppServerModule {}

svg-config.ts:

import { Injectable, Inject } from '@angular/core';
import { InlineSVGConfig } from 'ng-inline-svg';

@Injectable()
export class SVGConfig extends InlineSVGConfig {
  // Do what ever conditions you need to set this, e.g. checking for server-side rendering
  // and only set baseURL when server-side rendered if you want.

  constructor(...) {
    super();

    // When the server-side rendered app runs on localhost:3000, make sure baseURL is
    // https://localhost:3000 and make sure the Express server is configured properly to
    // allow the URL of the asset folders storing the SVG files.
    this.baseUrl = 'https://localhost:3000';

    // If you don't want the directive to run on the server side.
    this.clientOnly = true;

    // If you want to bypass your HttpClient interceptor chain when fetching SVGs.
    this.bypassHttpClientInterceptorChain = true;
  }
}
