Question 1

How to configure vue-inline-svg with Vite?

Accepted Answer

You need to update vite.config.js to transform asset URLs for the InlineSvg component using @vitejs/plugin-vue, as shown in the README. This allows relative paths like @/assets to work without manual imports.

Question 2

vue-inline-svg vs vite-svg-loader: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Vue Inline SVG loads SVGs dynamically at runtime, avoiding bundle bloat but requiring network requests. vite-svg-loader inlines SVGs at build time for instant availability but increases JavaScript bundle size. Choose based on performance trade-offs for your project.

Question 3

Can I change SVG colors with vue-inline-svg?

Accepted Answer

Yes, since SVGs are inlined as DOM elements, you can style them with CSS properties like fill or stroke directly on the component or via external stylesheets, unlike with <img> tags.

Question 4

Is vue-inline-svg safe for user-uploaded SVGs?

Accepted Answer

No, it's not safe by default. The README warns about XSS risks and recommends using DOMPurify with the transformSource prop to sanitize SVG content before rendering.

Question 5

How to handle relative paths in vue-inline-svg?

Accepted Answer

For paths like ./assets, you must configure your bundler (Vite or Webpack) to transform asset URLs, or manually import the SVG file and pass the URL as the src prop.

Question 6

Does vue-inline-svg work with Vue 2?

Accepted Answer

No, the current version is for Vue 3. For Vue 2, you need to use the older vue-inline-svg@2 package, as noted in the README.
