React, importing and using SVG sprite in a React component
I am new to SVG, I found a cool website called icomoon.io, I selected and downloaded a few SVG icons, copied the sprite.svg file along with the SVG folder to the /src folder in my app, Now I am a little confused on what should I import to use the desired Icons, is it the sprite.svg then I specify the icon like so import i_chat from '../sprite.svg#chat' or import each icon separately from the SVG folder instead, and is there an external package i need to install to use the <svg> and <use> elements in my app? a use case would be appreciated. thanks

if you are using svg directly in the react markup it accepts. however, if you are trying to import it like import icon from './icon.svg', then you need to add a custom svg file handler in your webpack config

If you don't need any interactions with SVG elements (animation, transitions, etc.), you can deal with svg like any other image. There are several loaders for svg for webpack:
https://github.com/jhamlet/svg-react-loader
https://github.com/boopathi/react-svg-loader
React 15 version or above also supports svg.
For example:
render() {
return (
<svg>
<circle cx="1" cy="2" />
<svg>
);
}
Hope, that helps
