Setup NextJS 12 to support SVG imports

Setting up NextJS app SVG import support

install SVGR package. It will allow us to import SVG files as JSX.Elements.

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

-Then inside next.config.js we need to add webpack configuration. So our next.config.js file looks like this:

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  reactStrictMode: true,
  webpack(config) {
    config.module.rules.push({
      test: /\.svg$/i,
      issuer: /\.[jt]sx?$/,
      use: ['@svgr/webpack'],
    });

    return config;
  },
};

module.exports = nextConfig;

install styled components and add compiler option into next.config.js

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  reactStrictMode: true,
  compiler: {
    styledComponents: true,
  },
  webpack(config) {
    config.module.rules.push({
      test: /\.svg$/i,
      issuer: /\.[jt]sx?$/,
      use: ['@svgr/webpack'],
    });

    return config;
  },
};

module.exports = nextConfig;
