Easily use SVG files in React Native with 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.

Oh, that’s a welcome package!

import Logo from "./logo.svg";

<Logo width={120} height={40} />

After installing the package you will need to adjust your Metro configuration:

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"]
    }
  };
})();
