Importing SVG into Remix Routes
Remix, built on Vite, supports importing SVG files as URL references by default, or as React components using vite-plugin-svgr for prop-controllable icon components used throughout route modules and shared layouts.
- Default import gives a URL string for use in src attributes
- vite-plugin-svgr enables component-style SVG imports
- Component imports accept className and style props for theming
SVG Sprite Sheets in Remix
For icon-heavy Remix apps, a single SVG sprite sheet referenced via the <use> element reduces the number of separate icon files loaded, with Remix's asset handling and HTTP caching headers ensuring the sprite is cached efficiently across navigations.
- Single sprite sheet reduces total icon-related requests
- <use> element references individual icons by ID
- Remix's caching headers keep the sprite cached across routes
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Remix support importing SVG as a React component?
Not by default, but adding vite-plugin-svgr to your Vite config (Remix's underlying build tool) enables SVG-to-component imports project-wide.
What's the most efficient way to handle many icons in Remix?
An SVG sprite sheet loaded once and referenced via <use> elements is typically more efficient than importing dozens of individual SVG files separately.
