Angular - Img src attribute doesn't render SVG

I have an SVG file coming from the backend and when I try to display it in the frontend Angular(v11) app it doesn't render and looks broken.

Here is my code:

<div fxLayout="column" *ngFor="let svgFile of activePageDataChunk">
    <img src="data:image/svg+xml,svgFile">

This is how it looks like:

file.svg

This is content inside SVG:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="420mm" height="297mm">
  <rect width="100%" height="100%" id="paperBorder" fill="#FFF"/>

Solution

  • As discussed in the comment, the provided data was an SVG element, so you can't bind the value to the src of <img> element.

    There are 2 ways to do it:

    1. Convert SVG element to base64 string, so you can work with <img> element.
    2. Bind the SVG element to HTML with DOMSanitizer.

    Answer 1

    To convert an SVG file to a base64 string, credit to this question: Convert inline SVG to Base64 string

    import { DomSanitizer } from '@angular/platform-browser';

constructor(private _sanitizer: DomSanitizer) {}

getSVGImageUrl(image) {
  let base64string = btoa(image);
  return this._sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustResourceUrl(
    `data:image/svg+xml;base64,${base64string}`
  );
}

    <div *ngFor="let svgFile of activePageDataChunk">
  <img [src]="getSVGImageUrl(svgFile)" />
</div>

    Answer 2:

    import { DomSanitizer } from '@angular/platform-browser';

constructor(private _sanitizer: DomSanitizer) {}

getSVGImage(image) {
  return this._sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustHtml(`${image}`);
}

    <div *ngFor="let svgFile of activePageDataChunk">
  <div [innerHTML]="getSVGImage(svgFile)"></div>
</div>
