Best way to import SVG icons into a Svelte app

The following approach has these advantages:

  • One central point to maintain all your icons for your app
  • Reduced network requests for fetching SVG icons
  • Reusable icons throughout the app without having duplicate svg elements

Have a dedicated Icon.svelte component setup like this:

<script>
    export let name;
    export let width = "1rem";
    export let height = "1rem";
    export let focusable = false;
    let icons = [
        {
          box: 24,
          name: "save",
          svg: `<g stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"><path d="M19 21H5a2 2 0 0 1-2-2V5a2 2 0 0 1 2-2h11l5 5v11a2 2 0 0 1-2 2z"/><path d="M17 21v-8H7v8"/><path d="M7 3v5h8"/></g>`
        },
        {
          box: 32,
          name: "trash",
          svg: `<path d="M12 12h2v12h-2z" /><path d="M18 12h2v12h-2z" /><path d="M4 6v2h2v20a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h16a2 2 0 0 0 2-2V8h2V6zm4 22V8h16v20z" /><path d="M12 2h8v2h-8z" />`
        }
    ];
    let displayIcon = icons.find((e) => e.name === name);
</script>
<svg
  class={$$props.class}
  {focusable}
  {width}
  {height}
  viewBox="0 0 {displayIcon.box} {displayIcon.box}">{@html displayIcon.svg}</svg>

You can then use it like so:

<Icon name="trash" class="this-is-optional" />
