SVG Sprite for a Site Without a Bundler

Combine SVG icons into one file and use them on an HTML page.

Generate the sprite

You do not need to install the package in your project.

1. Create the sprite config

Choose a directory for the future SVG sprite, for example assets/app-icons, and create svg-sprite.config.json inside it. In input, specify the path to existing SVG files relative to the configuration file. There is no need to move or copy the icons.

{
  "mode": "standalone",
  "name": "icons",
  "input": "../svg-icons/**/*.svg"
}

2. Generate the sprite

Pass the config path to the command:

npx --yes @gromlab/svg-sprites assets/app-icons/svg-sprite.config.json

The package collects the icons in a .svg-sprite directory next to the config:

assets/app-icons/.svg-sprite/
├── sprite.svg
└── svg-sprite.manifest.json
  • sprite.svg is the finished sprite for use on the site.
  • svg-sprite.manifest.json contains icon data for Viewer.

The .svg-sprite directory is created automatically and fully replaced on every generation. Do not edit its contents manually.

3. Use an icon

In index.html, point to the generated sprite.svg. After #, add the icon file name without the .svg extension:

<svg
  width="24"
  height="24"
  aria-label="Done"
>
  <use href="./assets/app-icons/.svg-sprite/sprite.svg#icon-name"></use>
</svg>

Debug and preview

sprite.svg is a technical file, not an icon gallery. Opening it does not provide a convenient view of the whole set. Gradients, masks, filters, and references to internal id values may also render with artifacts.

Use the official Viewer for visual checks. It displays every icon in the sprite and helps you verify its colors and rendering.

Viewer is optional and intended only for development. You do not need to install the package through npm.

Viewer works directly with files from .svg-sprite. Nothing needs to be copied.

Add Viewer to the page

Add a module script to index.html and provide paths to the generated manifest and sprite:

<script
  type="module"
  src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@gromlab/svg-sprites/dist/viewer-element.js"
></script>

<gromlab-sprite-viewer
  viewer-title="Project icons"
  manifest-url="./assets/app-icons/.svg-sprite/svg-sprite.manifest.json"
  sprite-url="./assets/app-icons/.svg-sprite/sprite.svg"
></gromlab-sprite-viewer>

You can move Viewer to a separate HTML file in the site root used only for development and icon checks.
