如何在 React Native 上显示 SVG 文件？

Question

I want to show svg files (I have bunch of svg images) but the thing I couldn't find the way to show. I tried to use Image and Use components of react-native-svg but they don't work with that. And I tried to do that with native way but it's really hard work to show just svg image.

Example code:

import Svg, {
  Use,
  Image,
} from 'react-native-svg';

<View>
  <Svg width="80" height="80">
     <Image href={require('./svg/1f604.svg')} />
  </SvgRn>
</View>

Also I know the react native doesn't support svg basically but I think someone fixed this problem with tricky way (with/without react-native-svg)

Answer 1

I used the following solution:

1. Convert .svg image to JSX with https://svg2jsx.herokuapp.com/
2. Convert the JSX to react-native-svg component with https://svgr.now.sh/ (check the "React Native checkbox)

Answer 2

I posted another solution (react-native-vector-icons) here . This approach use a vector font (from SVG) instead a SVG file. PS: react-native-vector-icons is the best approach to deal with SVG in react-native, it's also works in iOS and android. You will be able to change the color and size of your vector icon.

If you want to insert a svg directly into your app, you can try a 3rd party library : react-native-svg. With more than 3k stars in github it's one of the best approach.

Install any one of these using npm :

• react-native-svg
• react-native-svg-uri

Then link it to native using

react-native link react-native-svg

An example with react-native-svg-uri :

import * as React from 'react';
import SvgUri from 'react-native-svg-uri'; // SVG Package
import testSvg from './test.svg';          // SVG File

export default () => (
  <SvgUri
    width="200"
    height="200"
    svgXmlData={testSvg}
  />
);

Answer 3

After trying many ways and libraries I decided to create a new font (with Glyphs or this tutorial ) and add my SVG files to it, then use "Text" component with my custom font.

Hope this helps anyone that has the same problem with SVG in react-native.

Answer 4

Install react-native-svg-transformer

npm i react-native-svg-transformer --save-dev

I'm using SVG as following and it works fine

import LOGOSVG from "assets/svg/logo.svg"

in render

<View>
  <LOGOSVG 
    width="100%"
    height="70%"
  />
</View>

Answer 5

I've tried all the above solutions and other solutions outside of the stack and none of working for me. finally, after long research, I've found one solution for my expo project.

If you need it to work in expo, one workaround might be to use https://react-svgr.com/playground/ and move the spreading of props to a G element instead of the SVG root like this:

import * as React from 'react';
import Svg, { G, Path } from 'react-native-svg';

function SvgComponent(props) {
  return (
    <Svg viewBox="0 0 511 511">
      <G {...props}>
        <Path d="M131.5 96c-11.537 0-21.955 8.129-29.336 22.891C95.61 132 92 149.263 92 167.5s3.61 35.5 10.164 48.609C109.545 230.871 119.964 239 131.5 239s21.955-8.129 29.336-22.891C167.39 203 171 185.737 171 167.5s-3.61-35.5-10.164-48.609C153.455 104.129 143.037 96 131.5 96zm15.92 113.401C142.78 218.679 136.978 224 131.5 224s-11.28-5.321-15.919-14.599C110.048 198.334 107 183.453 107 167.5s3.047-30.834 8.581-41.901C120.22 116.321 126.022 111 131.5 111s11.28 5.321 15.919 14.599C152.953 136.666 156 151.547 156 167.5s-3.047 30.834-8.58 41.901z" />

Answer 6

you can do this using a simple way

first, you should take installation,

1. npm install -s react-native-svg
2. react-native link react-native-svg
3. npm install -s react-native-svg-transformer

then, you should add the following code in your metro.config.js file

 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"] } }; })();

after that, you should create a new file in your root directory with the name of declarations.d.js with the following code

 declare module "*.svg" { import { SvgProps } from "react-native-svg"; const content: React.FC<SvgProps>; export default content; }

Finally, This is a import mathod

 import USER from "../../assets/icons/user.svg"

and, this is for jsx

 <USER width="100%" height="100%"/>

Answer 7

I had the same problem. I'm using this solution I found: React Native display SVG from a file

It's not perfect, and i'm revisiting today, because it performs a lot worse on Android.

Answer 8

Use https://github.com/kristerkari/react-native-svg-transformer

In this package it is mentioned that .svg files are not supported in React Native v0.57 and lower so use .svgx extension for svg files.

For web or react-native-web use https://www.npmjs.com/package/@svgr/webpack

---

To render svg files using react-native-svg-uri with react-native version 0.57 and lower, you need to add following files to your root project

Note: change extension svg to svgx

step 1: add file transformer.js to project's root

// file: transformer.js

const cleanupSvg = require('./cleanup-svg');

const upstreamTransformer = require("metro/src/transformer");

// const typescriptTransformer = require("react-native-typescript-transformer");
// const typescriptExtensions = ["ts", "tsx"];

const svgExtensions = ["svgx"]

// function cleanUpSvg(text) {
//   text = text.replace(/width="([#0-9]+)px"/gi, "");
//    text = text.replace(/height="([#0-9]+)px"/gi, "");
//    return text;
// }

function fixRenderingBugs(content) {
  // content = cleanUpSvg(content); // cleanupSvg removes width and height attributes from svg
  return "module.exports = `" + content + "`";
}


module.exports.transform = function ({ src, filename, options }) {
  // if (typescriptExtensions.some(ext => filename.endsWith("." + ext))) {
  //  return typescriptTransformer.transform({ src, filename, options })
  // }

  if (svgExtensions.some(ext => filename.endsWith("." + ext))) {
    return upstreamTransformer.transform({
      src: fixRenderingBugs(src),
      filename,
      options
    })
  }

  return upstreamTransformer.transform({ src, filename, options });
}

step 2: add rn-cli.config.js to project's root

module.exports = {
    getTransformModulePath() {
      return require.resolve("./transformer");
    },
    getSourceExts() {
      return [/* "ts", "tsx", */ "svgx"];
    }
  };

The above mentioned solutions will work in production apps too ✅

Answer 9

SVG does not support directly in Native applications. For displaying those we need to take help of third party modules

Please follow these steps

step 1 . Install react-native-svg and react-native-svg-transformer

npm i react-native-svg react-native-svg-transformer

step 2 . Add file metro.config.js if it doesn't exist

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"]    
        }};
})();

step 3 . Use SVG file like a React component

import Invest from '../assets/invest.svg'; // import SVG

return (
        <View>
            <Invest /> // Use SVG as component
        </View>
    )

Answer 10

you can convert any SVG to a component and make it reusable.

here is my answer for the easiest way you can do it

SVG to component

Answer 11

import React from 'react'
import SvgUri from 'react-native-svg-uri';

export default function Splash() {
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      {/* provided the svg file is stored locally */}
      <SvgUri
        width="400"
        height="200"
        source={require('./logo.svg')}
      />
      {/* if the svg is online */}
      <SvgUri
        width="200"
        height="200"
        source={{ uri: 'http://thenewcode.com/assets/images/thumbnails/homer-simpson.svg' }}
      />

      <Text style={styles.logoText}>
        Text
      </Text>
    </View>
  )
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center'
  },
  logoText: {
    fontSize: 50
  }
});

Answer 12

Using svg in a react native project is not as simple as using it in the web, although it is not that difficult either.

Many of the above answers are complicated in my view. So, here is the solution that I use and like.

Since react native does not support the svg file format directly you need to follow some steps to get it working.

1. Install react-native-svg

 npm install react-native-svg --save

This package will help you render the svg file

2. Install react-native-svg-transformer

npm install react-native-svg-transformer --save 

This package will transform your svg to the format that react native understands.

3. Import the svg as normal component

import Belsvg from "../assets/belsvg.svg"; 

While importing give it a name that you like now this svg is transformed into a react native component by the react-native-svg-transformer

4. Now you can use this as a normal component

ps: I would like to thank Jayant kumar yadav for posting that blog

Answer 13

Note: Svg does not work for android release versions so do not consider for android. It will work for android in debug mode only. But it works fine for ios.

Use https://github.com/vault-development/react-native-svg-uri

Install

npm install react-native-svg-uri --save
react-native link react-native-svg # not react-native-svg-uri

Usage

import SvgUri from 'react-native-svg-uri';


<SvgUri source={require('./path_to_image/image.svg')} />

Answer 14

I use these two plugins,

1. [react-native-svg] https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-svg )
2. [ react-native-svg-transformer] https://github.com/kristerkari/react-native-svg-transformer )

First off all, You need to install that plugin. After that you need to change your metro.config.js, with this code.

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"]
    }
  };
})();

Answer 15

1. First install react-native-svg to your project.
2. Open https://react-svgr.com/ and go to the playground and select React native
3. Copy paste your SVG code and used the output code.

Ex:- This is the sample SVG that I have got.

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="17" height="17" viewBox="0 0 17 17">
    <defs>
        <path id="a" d="M16.191 1.027L9.023 8.196l7.168 7.168-.83.83-7.169-7.167-7.168 7.168-.831-.831L7.36 8.196.19 1.027l.832-.83L8.19 7.366 15.359.197z"/>
    </defs>
    <g fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd">
        <mask id="b" fill="#fff">
            <use xlink:href="#a"/>
        </mask>
        <use fill="#FFF" fill-rule="nonzero" xlink:href="#a"/>
        <g fill="#3D3D3D" mask="url(#b)">
            <path d="M0 0h16v16H0z"/>
        </g>
    </g>
</svg>

Output:-

import * as React from "react"
import Svg, { Defs, Path, G, Mask, Use } from "react-native-svg"

function SvgComponent(props) {
  return (
    <Svg
      xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
      xmlnsXlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
      width={17}
      height={17}
      viewBox="0 0 17 17"
      {...props}
    >
      <Defs>
        <Path
          id="prefix__a"
          d="M16.191 1.027L9.023 8.196l7.168 7.168-.83.83-7.169-7.167-7.168 7.168-.831-.831L7.36 8.196.19 1.027l.832-.83L8.19 7.366 15.359.197z"
        />
      </Defs>
      <G fill="none" fillRule="evenodd">
        <Mask id="prefix__b" fill="#fff">
          <Use xlinkHref="#prefix__a" />
        </Mask>
        <Use fill="#FFF" fillRule="nonzero" xlinkHref="#prefix__a" />
        <G fill="#3D3D3D" mask="url(#prefix__b)">
          <Path d="M0 0h16v16H0z" />
        </G>
      </G>
    </Svg>
  )
}

export default SvgComponent

** But when I use the above code in my project and it does not render properly. So I done it as below and somehow it works for me.

import * as React from "react"
import Svg, { Path, G } from "react-native-svg"

function SvgComponent(props) {
  return (
    <Svg
      width={17}
      height={17}
      {...props}
    >
        <G>
            <Path
                id="prefix__a"
                d="M16.191 1.027L9.023 8.196l7.168 7.168-.83.83-7.169-7.167-7.168 7.168-.831-.831L7.36 8.196.19 1.027l.832-.83L8.19 7.366 15.359.197z"
            />
        </G>
    </Svg>
  )
}

export default SvgComponent

Answer 16

I've written a new library to be able to use native vector assets based on .svg files called react-native-vector-image . It doesn't need any custom babel transforms and you can use it like you would for other bitmap based assets, but there is an extra step in transforming the svg to the native equivalents (you only need to run it when you add new assets though).

Using your example the code would look something like this

import VectorImage from 'react-native-vector-image';

<View>
  <VectorImage source={require('./svg/1f604.svg')} />
</View>

Answer 17

Use react-native-svg see its supports both android and Ios.

this is the basic example

import * as React from 'react';
import { SvgUri } from 'react-native-svg';

export default () => (
  <SvgUri
    width="100%"
    height="100%"
    uri="http://thenewcode.com/assets/images/thumbnails/homer-simpson.svg"
  />
);

if you want to use both normal image and svg images in one component, You can make a custom function that checks if the url has svg and return Image component or SvgUri

        const ImageComponent = (Props) => {
            const {Istyle, url, mode} = props;
            const isSvg = url?.includes('.svg') ?? false;
        
            if (isSvg) {
              return <SvgCssUri style={Istyle} uri={defaultAvatar} />;
            }
            if (!isSvg) {
              return <Image style={Istyle} source={{uri: url}} resizeMode={mode} />;
            }
          };

//let testURl = "https://avatars.dicebear.com/api/male/john.svg"

Answer 18

The best solution that worked for me on both platforms is https://github.com/seekshiva/react-native-remote-svg .

I additionally did a conditional render with https://github.com/react-native-svg/react-native-svg to have the best result on both platforms, because there's an know issue with Android as stated here https://stackoverflow.com/a/54182426/4934132 .

Just in case I have ErrorBoundry to cover the exceptions.

It looks like this:

           <ErrorBoundary
                FallbackComponent={error => ErrorFallback(error)}
                onReset={() => {
                    // reset the state of your app so the error doesn't happen again
                }}

Method that is working for me in 2022 for anyone that is still stuck on this, react native version 0.63.4, react-native-svg version ^12.1.0, you may be able to use this method for other versions too but always check the docs for the library first:

1. Install react-native-svg-transformer by running this command yarn add react-native-svg-transformer --dev or using npm if you prefer npm i react-native-svg react-native-svg-transformer --save-dev

2. Install babel-plugin-inline-import by running yarn add babel-plugin-inline-import --dev

3. You need to update your metro.config.js file to looks like this:

 const { getDefaultConfig } = require('metro-config'); module.exports = (async () => { const { resolver: { sourceExts, assetExts } } = await getDefaultConfig(); return { transformer: { babelTransformerPath: require.resolve('react-native-svg-transformer'), getTransformOptions: async () => ({ transform: { experimentalImportSupport: false, inlineRequires: false } }) }, resolver: { assetExts: assetExts.filter(ext => ext !== 'svg'), sourceExts: [...sourceExts, 'svg'] } }; })();

4. Make sure to import your svg file into your component like this: import CreditCard from '../assets/CreditCard'; please note how I am not adding the .svg file extension to the import, this is because it was giving me this error view config getter callback react-native-svg while running it but removing it seems to make it run smoothly. You can add your file this way as a jsx element like that <CreditCard /> .

5. Finally Restart your packager by stopping it using ^Ctrl + C on mac then restart it again with this command yarn start:dev --reset-cache and install the app again.

Answer 21

Incase anyone is stuck on this bug in 2022, here's the solution that worked for me:

1. Install react-native-svg-transformer :
   yarn add react-native-svg-transformer --dev
   or using npm
   npm install react-native-svg-transformer --save-dev

2. Install react-native-svg :
   yarn add react-native-svg
   or using npm
   npm install react-native-svg --save

3. Update your metro.config.js file to looks like this:

// Learn more https://docs.expo.io/guides/customizing-metro
const { getDefaultConfig } = require('expo/metro-config');

module.exports = (() => { 
    const {  
        resolver: { 
            sourceExts, 
            assetExts 
        }  
    } = getDefaultConfig(__dirname); 

    return {
        transformer: {      
            babelTransformerPath: require.resolve("react-native-svg-transformer")    
        },    
        resolver: {
            assetExts: assetExts.filter(ext => ext !== "svg"),
            sourceExts: [...sourceExts, "svg"]    
        }};
})();

4. Import and display the svg image in your code like below:

import {View} from 'react-native';
import SvgImage from './path/to/svg/file.svg';

function MyComponent(){
    return (
        <View>
          <SvgImage />
        </View>
    )
}

Answer 22

If you're using React Native with TypeScript, here is the step-by-step solution:

1. Install react-native-svg

npm install react-native-svg

or

yarn add react-native-svg

2. Link native code

cd ios && pod install

3. Install react-native-svg-transformer

npm install --save-dev react-native-svg-transformer

or

yarn add --dev react-native-svg-transformer

4. Configure the react native packager

For React Native v0.59 or newer :

Merge the contents from your project's metro.config.js file with this config (create the file if it does not exist already).

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"]
    }
  };
})();

This is how my merged metro.config.js looks like:

const { getDefaultConfig } = require('metro-config')

module.exports = (async () => {
  const {
    resolver: { sourceExts, assetExts },
  } = await getDefaultConfig()
  return {
    transformer: {
      babelTransformerPath: require.resolve('react-native-svg-transformer'),
      getTransformOptions: async () => ({
        transform: {
          experimentalImportSupport: false,
          inlineRequires: true,
        },
      }),
    },
    resolver: {
      assetExts: assetExts.filter((ext) => ext !== 'svg'),
      sourceExts: [...sourceExts, 'svg'],
    },
  }
})()

5. TypeScript configuration:

If you are using TypeScript, you need to add this to your declarations.d.ts file (create one if you don't have one already):

declare module "*.svg" {
  import React from 'react';
  import { SvgProps } from "react-native-svg";
  const content: React.FC<SvgProps>;
  export default content;
}

6. Usage

...
import LogSvg from '../assets/images/Logo.svg'

export function LandingScreen(): JSX.Element {
  ...
  return (
    <View style={style.mainContainer}>
      <LogSvg style={style.logoContainer} />
    </View>
  )
}

...

Answer 24

All these solutions are absolutely horrid. Just convert your SVG to a PNG and use the vanilla <Image/> component. The fact that react-native still does not support SVG images in the Image component is a joke. You should never install an additional library for such a simple task. Use https://svgtopng.com/
