Why Is My SVG Icon Not Displaying in My Vue App Using vue-svgicon?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I followed the svgicon instructions from the guide:

https://mmf-fe.github.io/svgicon/guide/#vue-3-x

The guide’s example uses svg-file-path/arrow.svg, but I couldn’t find that file so I added my own arrow.svg. However, the SVG icon doesn’t display in the browser – I see neither an error nor the icon.

I created the project with:

BASH
npm create vuetify@latest

This is my Login.vue:

VUE
<script setup lang="ts"> //import arrowData from "./arrow.svg" </script> <template> <div> <!-- <icon :data="arrowData" /> --> <!-- It is recommended to configure transformAssetUrls. You can directly pass in the svg file path. --> <icon data="./arrow.svg" width="190" height="190" /> </div> </template>

This is my main.js:

JAVASCRIPT
/** * main.js * * Bootstraps Vuetify and other plugins then mounts the App */ import { VueSvgIconPlugin } from '@yzfe/vue-svgicon' import '@yzfe/svgicon/lib/svgicon.css' // Plugins import { registerPlugins } from '@/plugins' // Components import App from './App.vue' // Composables import { createApp } from 'vue' const app = createApp(App) registerPlugins(app) app.mount('#app') app.use(VueSvgIconPlugin, {tagName: 'icon'})

This is my arrow.svg:

However, when I view the icon in the browser, I only see an empty image placeholder:

I expected either a visible icon or an error message.

Additionally, if I change Login.vue as follows:

<script setup lang="ts"> import arrowData from "./arrow.svg" </script> <template> <div> < <icon :data="arrowData" /> <!-- It is recommended to configure transformAssetUrls. You can directly pass in the svg file path. <icon data="./arrow.svg" width="190" height="190" /> --> </div> </template>

At compile time I get the following error:

Below is a few steps you can follow to resolve your issue:

  1. Use a Public Asset Path Instead of Importing the SVG
    Vite treats SVG files as assets that must either be processed by a loader or be placed in the public folder. The examples from vue‑svgicon assume that you’ll use the SVG file via its URL (letting the plugin’s asset URL transformation do its work). Instead of importing the SVG (which triggers a Vite error), move your arrow.svg file into your project’s public folder. Then update your component like this:
VUE
<template> <div> <!-- Pass the absolute path (relative to public) --> <icon data="/arrow.svg" width="190" height="190" /> </div> </template>
  1. Ensure Your Vite Configuration Allows Asset Transforms
    The vue-svgicon plugin documentation recommends configuring transformAssetUrls if you want to pass an SVG file path directly. If you have not already, check your vite.config.js and make sure you don’t have a rule that conflicts with handling SVG assets. Often, moving the file to public is the simplest fix.

  2. Avoid Importing as a Module (Unless You Configure a Loader)
    The error message
    “Failed to resolve import './arrow.svg' … Does the file exist?”
    comes from attempting to import an SVG file as a module. If you really need to import the raw SVG data, you could configure a Vite plugin (or use something like vite-svg-loader) so that Vite knows how to handle SVG imports. Otherwise, using the public folder lets you bypass this issue.

Following these steps should let the vue‑svgicon plugin load your arrow.svg file correctly without a compilation error and display the icon as expected.
