react-native-svg-transformer
React Native SVG transformer allows you to import SVG files in your React Native project the same way that you would in a Web application when using a library like SVGR to transform your imported SVG images into React components.
This makes it possible to use the same code for React Native and Web.
Usage
Import your .svg file inside a React component:
You can then use your image as a component:
Demo / Expo demo (iOS/Android/Web)
Installation and configuration
Step 1: Install react-native-svg library
Make sure that you have installed the react-native-svg library:
Step 2: Install react-native-svg-transformer library
yarn add --dev react-native-svg-transformer
Step 3: Configure the react native packager
For Expo SDK v41.0.0 or newer
Merge the contents from your project’s metro.config.js file with this config (create the file if it does not exist already).
const getDefaultConfig > = require("expo/metro-config"); module.exports = (() => const config = getDefaultConfig(__dirname); const transformer, resolver > = config; config.transformer = . transformer, babelTransformerPath: require.resolve("react-native-svg-transformer") >; config.resolver = . resolver, assetExts: resolver.assetExts.filter((ext) => ext !== "svg"), sourceExts: [. resolver.sourceExts, "svg"] >; return config; >)();
For React Native v0.72.1 or newer
Merge the contents from your project’s metro.config.js file with this config (create the file if it does not exist already).
const getDefaultConfig, mergeConfig > = require("@react-native/metro-config"); const defaultConfig = getDefaultConfig(__dirname); const assetExts, sourceExts > = defaultConfig.resolver; /** * Metro configuration * https://facebook.github.io/metro/docs/configuration * * @type */ const config = transformer: babelTransformerPath: require.resolve("react-native-svg-transformer") >, resolver: assetExts: assetExts.filter((ext) => ext !== "svg"), sourceExts: [. sourceExts, "svg"] > >; module.exports = mergeConfig(defaultConfig, config);
For React Native v0.59 or newer
Merge the contents from your project’s metro.config.js file with this config (create the file if it does not exist already).
const getDefaultConfig > = require("metro-config"); module.exports = (async () => const resolver: sourceExts, assetExts > > = await getDefaultConfig(); return transformer: babelTransformerPath: require.resolve("react-native-svg-transformer") >, resolver: assetExts: assetExts.filter((ext) => ext !== "svg"), sourceExts: [. sourceExts, "svg"] > >; >)();
Using TypeScript
If you are using TypeScript, you need to add this to your declarations.d.ts file (create one if you don’t have one already):
declare module "*.svg" import React from "react"; import SvgProps > from "react-native-svg"; const content: React.FCSvgProps>; export default content; >
Configuring SVGR (how SVG images get transformed)
SVGR has a configuration file, which makes it possible for you to customize how SVG images get transformed to React/React Native.
Read more about the configuration options: Configuring SVGR and SVGR options.
For example, if you want to change SVG image’s fill color from red to currentColor (keep in mind that this will be used for all SVG images in your app).
.svgrrc (create the file in your project’s root folder if it does not exist)
< "replaceAttrValues": < "red": "currentColor" > >
Changing SVG fill color in JS Code
Edit your .svgrrc file and include a line for replaceAttrValues that matching a hex code to
And then make sure your path tag inside the SVG file fill attribute is the hex code (in this case #000 ).
svg width="14" height="14" viewBox="0 0 14 14" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> path d="M2.965 6.0925C4.045 8.215 . " fill="#000"/> svg>
You can then use your image as a component:
Logo width=120> height=40> fill="any color"> />
Usage with Jest
To use Jest to test your React Native components that import .svg images, you need to add this configuration that mocks the SVG images that are transformed to React components:
// __mocks__/svgMock.js module.exports = "SvgMock"; module.exports.ReactComponent = "SvgMock";
Then, depending on where you have your Jest configuration:
// package.json < "jest": < "moduleNameMapper": < "\\.svg": "/__mocks__/svgMock.js" > > >
// jest.config.js module.exports = moduleNameMapper: "\\.svg": "/__mocks__/svgMock.js" > >;
Rendering custom fonts in iOS
At the moment react-native-svg does not support custom font families in iOS right out of the box. A workaround is to take your .svg with custom fonts and convert it to outlines. This will replace text tags for path tags in your .svg file.
Dependencies
In addition to React Native, this transformer depends on the following libraries:
