Dynamic SVG imports?

[wmonecke]

Is there a way to import svgs dynamically?

I would love to be able to do something like this:

dynamic import hook

import { FunctionComponent } from 'preact';
import { useEffect, useRef, useState } from 'preact/hooks';

type Props = {
  name: string;
};

export const useDynamicSVGImport = ({ name }: Props) => {
  const ImportedIconRef = useRef<
    FunctionComponent<SVGSVGElement> | undefined
  >();

  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);
  const [error, setError] = useState<Error>();

  useEffect(() => {
    setLoading(true);

    const importIcon = async (): Promise<void> => {
      try {
        const imported = await import(`../../assets/icons/${name}.svg`).then(
          module => module.default,
        );

        // logs: /src/assets/icons/spinner.svg if I pass name = spinner
        console.log('imported', imported); 

        ImportedIconRef.current = imported;
        
      } catch (err) {
        console.log(err);

        setError(err);
      } finally {
        setLoading(false);
      }
    };

    importIcon();
  }, [name]);

  return {
    loading,
    error,
    SvgIcon: ImportedIconRef.current,
  };
};

Note: If I pass SvgIcon to the src of an img tag it renders the icon properly so it is being imported.

icon.tsx

import { FunctionComponent } from 'preact';

import { useDynamicSVGImport } from '~/hooks/icons/use-dynamic-import';

type Props = {
  name: string;
  className?: string;
  isOutlineIcon?: boolean;
};

export const Icon: FunctionComponent<Props> = ({
  name,
  className,
  isOutlineIcon = false,
  ...restProps
}) => {
  const { error, loading, SvgIcon } = useDynamicSVGImport({ name });

  if (error || !SvgIcon || loading) {
    return null;
  }

  return (
    <SvgIcon
      className={`
        fill-slate-400
        ${isOutlineIcon ? '' : 'fill-current'}
        ${className ? className : 'h-5 w-5 text-lightBlack'}`}
      {...restProps}
    />
  );
};

This is currently not working.

How can I convert the imported file into a component?

    const imported = await import(`../../assets/icons/${name}.svg`).then(
          module => module.default,
        );

@wmonecke you could take a look on this example on stackblitz and answer on stackoverflow to check if it fit your needs.

Would Vite glob import help?

aren't you supposed to import with ?react
for example:
import Logo from "./logo.svg?react"
