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.
