{"id":14084,"library":"svg-to-vue","title":"SVG to Vue Component Converter","description":"svg-to-vue is a utility designed to convert raw SVG code directly into a Vue component definition. It currently resides at version 0.7.0. While no explicit release cadence is published, it functions as a stable tool for its specific purpose. Its core differentiator is simplifying the integration of arbitrary SVG strings into Vue 2.x applications as programmatically generated components, with optional built-in SVGO optimization to reduce SVG file size and improve performance. This makes it particularly useful for dynamically rendering SVG content or when SVGs are sourced from external APIs or user input, rather than being static assets. It explicitly depends on Vue 2.x's `vue-template-compiler` for its functionality, making it incompatible with Vue 3.x.","status":"active","version":"0.7.0","language":"javascript","source_language":"en","source_url":"https://github.com/visualfanatic/svg-to-vue","tags":["javascript","vue","svg","svgo"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install svg-to-vue","lang":"bash","label":"npm"},{"cmd":"yarn add svg-to-vue","lang":"bash","label":"yarn"},{"cmd":"pnpm add svg-to-vue","lang":"bash","label":"pnpm"}],"dependencies":[{"reason":"Required for compiling Vue 2.x templates from the generated component definition.
