Question 1

How to set up SVGR with create-react-app?

Accepted Answer

SVGR is included by default in create-react-app for SVG imports. You can import SVGs directly, and they'll be transformed into React components automatically without additional configuration.

Question 2

SVGR vs inline SVG: which is better for React?

Accepted Answer

SVGR generates optimized React components that reduce bundle size and improve performance, while inline SVGs are simpler but less maintainable for large icon sets. SVGR is ideal for scalable design systems.

Question 3

How to use SVGR to change SVG colors dynamically?

Accepted Answer

Use the --replace-attr-values CLI option or configure props in the generated component, such as setting fill='currentColor' to allow color changes via CSS, as demonstrated in the README example.

Question 4

Does SVGR work with TypeScript?

Accepted Answer

Yes, SVGR supports TypeScript by generating .d.ts files or TypeScript components, providing type-safe usage. This is highlighted as a key feature in the documentation.

Question 5

What are the best SVGR plugins for icon systems?

Accepted Answer

Common plugins include @svgr/plugin-svgo for optimization and @svgr/plugin-jsx for JSX transformation. The plugin-based architecture allows extensive customization for icon workflows.

Question 6

How to integrate SVGR into a webpack build process?

Accepted Answer

Install @svgr/webpack and add it as a rule in your webpack configuration to process .svg files, enabling SVGR to transform SVGs during bundling, as detailed in the webpack usage docs.
