Hi @broken yoke. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
Astro does not directly support importing SVGs as React components. However, there are several workarounds you can consider:
-
Use an Astro component to wrap your SVG and then use it as a regular component. This method is straightforward and doesn't require any additional libraries.
-
Use a library like
@inlang/paraglide-js-adapter-astroor@jasikpark/astro-svg-loaderthat allows you to import SVGs as Astro components. These libraries use Vite's support for raw imports to do the trick.
Here is an example of how you might use @jasikpark/astro-svg-loader:
import MySvg from 'my-svg.svg';
Then, in your component, you can use MySvg as a regular component.
Please note that these methods might not work perfectly with React components in Astro. You might need to experiment a bit to find the best solution for your specific use case.
