vue-simple-svg (V2)

A simple Vue.js plugin that allows you to use a component that dynamically loads a .svg file as an inline SVG so you can easily control its style programmatically. No jQuery required.

I recommend using vue-svg-loader for many cases when you just need to load a SVG file as a component. This plugin is built to cover some other cases the library doesn't fit, which are:

• loading a SVG file dynamically. You don't have to hardcode the filename in the source code. Instead you can specify it at rendering time or change it even after the component is rendered.
• changing fill color or stroke color of the SVG programmatically with ease and no global css usage.

Installation:

$ npm install vue-simple-svg

Usage:

1. initialize in your main file,

// as a plugin
import VueSimpleSVG from 'vue-simple-svg'
Vue.use(VueSimpleSVG)

// or as a component
import {SimpleSVG} from 'vue-simple-svg'
Vue.component('simple-svg', SimpleSVG)

2. specify which elements in the SVG will be manipulated their fill and stroke colors by setting dedicated class names to them

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <g>
    <path class="fill-to-change" d="XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX" />
    <path class="stroke-to-change" d="XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX" />
  </g>
</svg>

3. and use it in your component,

<simple-svg
  :src="svgSrc"
  fill-class-name="fill-to-change"
  :fill="svgFillColor"
  stroke-class-name="stroke-to-change"
  :stroke="svgFillColor"
  width="100%"
  height="100%"
  custom-id="my-id"
  custom-class-name="my-class"
  @load="svgLoaded()"
/>

Available props and events:

props	type	description	default
src	string	path to your SVG file	*required
fillClassName	string	class name set to the elements in your SVG file whose fill color you want to change	''
fill	string	CSS-valid fill color value	''
strokeClassName	string	class name set to the elements in your SVG file whose stroke color you want to change	''
stroke	string	CSS-valid stroke color value	''
width	string	root SVG element's style width	'auto'
height	string	root SVG element's style height	'auto'
customId	string	root SVG element's id	''
customClassName	string	root SVG element's class	''

events	description
@load	called when the inline SVG is generated

Notes:

• To generate the inline SVG properly, you need to manually clean up and edit your SVG files beforehand. Tips: remove all hardcoded inline styles and unnecessary attributes, especially the ones specifying colors.
