Can't import SVG into Next.js

When I try to import SVG Image then the following error shows. Which loader I have to use for importing SVG images?

./static/Rolling-1s-200px.svg 1:0
Module parse failed: Unexpected token (1:0)
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type.

Solution

You need to provide a webpack loader that will handle SVG imports, one of the famous one is svgr.

In order to configure it to work with next, you need to add to your next.config.js file the usage of the loader, like that:

// next.config.js
    
module.exports = {
  webpack(config) {
    config.module.rules.push({
      test: /\.svg$/,
      issuer: {
        test: /\.(js|ts)x?$/,
       // for webpack 5 use
       // { and: [/\.(js|ts)x?$/] }
      },
      
      use: ['@svgr/webpack'],
    });

    return config;
  },
};

For more config info, check out the docs.

Don't forget to install @svgr/webpack first:

$ npm install --save-dev @svgr/webpack

Edit

I've added an issuer section which strict these svg as component only for svgs that are imported from js / ts files. This allows you to configure other behaviour for svgs that are imported from other file types (such as .css)
