Inline SVG in Svelte Templates
SVG works natively in Svelte templates with reactive bindings.
- <svg width={size} height={size}>...</svg> — bind JS variables to SVG attributes
- <circle cx={x} cy={y} r={radius} fill={color} />
- $: color = theme === 'dark' ? 'white' : 'black' — reactive SVG color
- on:click handler on SVG paths: <path on:click={handleClick} d='...' />
- SVG templates fully participate in Svelte reactivity with $: and stores
Importing SVG in SvelteKit / Vite
Vite's SVG handling works with SvelteKit.
- Static URL: import logoUrl from './logo.svg' → <img src={logoUrl}>
- Raw SVG: import logo from './logo.svg?raw' → {@html logo} for inline SVG
- Note: {@html} bypasses Svelte's XSS protection — only use with trusted SVG files
- Component pattern: wrap SVG in a .svelte file with props for color/size
- svelte-inline-svg: alternative package for SVG component import
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make SVG colors reactive in Svelte?
Bind fill or stroke to a Svelte reactive variable: <path fill={iconColor}/>. Update iconColor in your component logic and the SVG updates automatically.
Can I use CSS transitions on SVG in Svelte?
Yes — use Svelte's built-in transition and animation directives on SVG elements: <g transition:fade>, <path in:fly={{y:20}}>.
How do I animate SVG paths with Svelte?
Use tweened or spring stores from svelte/motion to animate SVG attribute values: const cx = tweened(0); → <circle cx={$cx}> — the circle smoothly moves.
Is there an SVG component library for Svelte?
Yes — Iconify for Svelte provides 100,000+ SVG icons. svelte-hero-icons provides Heroicons. Both render as inline SVG components.
How do I import SVG as a Svelte component?
Create a .svelte file with the SVG content and export size/color props. Use vite-plugin-svelte-svgr for automatic SVG-to-component conversion in SvelteKit projects.
