> Optimized and Easy way to use SVG files in Nuxt.js

Sprites help increase speed, maintain a consistent development workflow, and make the creation of icons much faster. SVG sprites are typically created using icons of a similar shape or form whereas larger scale graphics are one-off applications.

**Demo**: https://codesandbox.io/s/github/nuxt-community/svg-sprite-module/

:warning: **NOTE**: SVG Sprites does not work on IE, if you wish to support IE you could use [svg4everybody](https://github.com/jonathantneal/svg4everybody). Take a look at [this issue](https://github.com/nuxt-community/svg-sprite-module/issues/42#issuecomment-516056532) to see how.

:rainbow: **NOTE**: If you wish to load single SVG icon and you don't want to create sprites, use [Nuxt SVG Module](https://github.com/nuxt-community/svg-module). SVG module for Nuxt.js, allows you to import .svg files in multiple ways depending on the resource query you provide.

## Installation

```bash
yarn add @nuxtjs/svg-sprite
# or
npm i @nuxtjs/svg-sprite
```

## Usage

Add `@nuxtjs/svg-sprite` to buildModules section of `nuxt.config.js`:

```js
{
  buildModules: [
    '@nuxtjs/svg-sprite',
  ],
  svgSprite: {
    // manipulate module options
  }
}
```

Place your svg files in `~/assets/sprite/svg/`, say `sample.svg` and use your image with globally registered `svg-icon` component:

```vue
<svg-icon name="sample" />
```

To create different sprites, create custom directory inside `~/assets/sprite/svg/` and put your svg files inside it and place directory tile before icon name (example: `~/assets/sprite/svg/my-sprite/my-image.svg`):

```vue
<svg-icon name="my-sprite/my-image" />
```

Module create a page that list all of icons for you, by default you can see this page in `/_icons` path.  
**Note:** This page creates in `dev` mode, So you can't see it in production.

## Options

Module default options:


| Option | Default | Description |
| ------ | ------- | ----------- |
| input | `~/assets/sprite/svg` | Directory of original svg files |
| output | `~/assets/sprite/gen` | Directory to store generated sprites |
| defaultSprite | `icons` | Name of default sprite (default sprite consist of all svgs that place directly inside `input` directory) |
| elementClass | `icon` | global class of all `<svg-icon>` instances |
| spriteClassPrefix | `sprite-` | Prefix of sprite specific classes |
| publicPath | `null` | Specifies a custom public path for the sprites |
| iconsPath | `_icons` | Custom path for icons list page (In order to disable this page, pass `false` or `null` to this option) |
| svgoConfig | `null` | Custom config object for SVGO, [How to customize SVGO config](/docs/svgo-config.md) |

You can update them with the `svgSprite` option in `nuxt.config.js`:

```js
export default {
  buildModules: ['@nuxtjs/svg-sprite'],
  svgSprite: {
    input: '~/assets/svg/'
  }
}
```

## Props

| Prop | Description |
| --- | --- |
| name | icon path with format `SPRITE_NAME/ICON_NAME`, `SPRITE_NAME` can be omitted for default sprite  |
| title | Accessibility title for icon, this props will transform to `<title>` tag inside `<svg>` |
| desc | Accessibility description for icon, this props will transform to `<desc>` tag inside `<svg>` |

## Integrations
### Storybook
This module provides a story to list and search available icons of your project. You can see stories under `stories` directory. 
If you are using [`@nuxtjs/storybook`](https://storybook.nuxtjs.org) you can see the SvgSprites stories under `Modules` section in your storybook. Sprites will show in your Storybook, unless you disable/hide the story using [Storybook's `modules` option](https://storybook.nuxtjs.org/options#modules)
