Now on a html template which I found on the net the images are shown with :
<svg>
<use xlink:href="assets/img/symbols.svg#bar"></use>
</svg>
How can I make this work on rails.
I tried :
<use xlink:href="images/symbols.svg#bar"></use>
and the svg-inline gem
but on both I see no images on my webpage.
Can anyone help me figure out how to make this work ?
react-native-svg provides SVG support to your React Native project on both Android and iOS platforms. react-native-svg-transformer enables you to import local SVG files in your React Native project, like how you would do in a Creact React App project on the web.
SVG images can be written directly into the HTML document using the <svg> </svg> tag. To do this, open the SVG image in VS code or your preferred IDE, copy the code, and paste it inside the <body> element in your HTML document. If you did everything correctly, your webpage should look exactly like the demo below.
I've been trying different solutions for this, and ultimately landed on just putting the svg doc in an html.erb
partial. Since svg is valid html, it works fine to just move it from assets to views.
<%# app/views/home/index.html.erb %>
<%= render partial: "svgs/some_svg.html.erb"
Given
app
| views
| | home
| | | index.html.erb
| | svgs
| | | some_svg.html.erb
Specifically include the SVG filetype in asset compilation
production.rb
config.assets.precompile += %w( '.svg' )
# Must include to get inline SVGs to work in deploy
config.assets.css_compressor = :sass
Create a helper to display the SVG
myhelper.rb
def show_svg(path)
File.open("app/assets/images/#{path}", "rb") do |file|
raw file.read
end
end
Invoke the SVG processing helper in your view
<%= show_svg('symbols.svg') %>
From your question I'm not 100% clear about your implementation, but these steps should get you to the point where your SVG image is visible. Once you have the SVG visible, you can apply CSS.
