README

The enflow/laravel-svg package provides a easy way include SVGs in your templates.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require enflow/laravel-svg

Usage

You may use the svg helper in your templates

{{ svg('clock') }}

// Adding a class
{{ svg('clock')->class('mr-2') }}

// Adding an extra attribute
{{ svg('clock')->class('mr-2')->id('clock-icon') }}

// Specify the pack
{{ svg('clock')->pack('fas') }}

Config

You may publish the config to set the packs that you are using:

Pushing the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Enflow\Svg\SvgServiceProvider"

Packs

You may specify multiple packs that are used in your application. By default, only the resources/img/svgs pack is included, but you may specify additional icon sets like Font Awesome in your config. When the pack isn't specified when including the SVG, the first one that can be found in the order defined in your config will be used. You may overrule this behavior by calling the pack method on the Enflow\Svg\Svg class that's returned by the SVG helper.

<?php

return [
    'packs' => [
        'custom' => resource_path('img/svgs/'),
        'fas' => [
            'path' => base_path('vendor/fortawesome/font-awesome/svgs/solid/'),
            'auto_size_on_viewbox' => true,
        ],
        'fal' => [
            'path' => base_path('vendor/fortawesome/font-awesome/svgs/light/'),
            'auto_size_on_viewbox' => true,
        ],
    ],
];

Examples

Font Awesome 5 Free

Installing

composer require fortawesome/font-awesome

Reference: https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome

Config

<?php

return [
    'packs' => [
        'custom' => resource_path('img/svgs/'),
        'fas' => [
            'path' => base_path('vendor/fortawesome/font-awesome/svgs/solid/'),
            'auto_size_on_viewbox' => true,
        ],
    ],
];

Font Awesome 5 Pro

Installing

yarn add @fortawesome/fontawesome-pro

Font Awesome 5 doesn't provide a composer package. We'll install it through our npm/yarn pipeline and use that path instead

Reference: https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-web/setup/using-package-managers

Config

<?php

return [
    'packs' => [
        'custom' => resource_path('img/svgs/'),
        'fas' => [
            'path' => base_path('node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-pro/svgs/solid/'),
            'auto_size_on_viewbox' => true,
        ],
    ],
];

Middleware

This package includes the Enflow\Svg\Middleware\InjectSvgSpritesheet middleware which is automatically registered and added to your web group.

This will add the SVG spritesheet to the top of your templates, where all unique SVGs are added. The SVGs rendered in your templates will reference this spritesheet. The reason for this is that in a loop, the SVG only is once in the body, instead of repeating it per row.

You may disable the automatic injection by setting the register_middleware_automatically to false:

config/svg.php

<?php

return [
    'register_middleware_automatically' => false
];

Using with other middleware

When using enflow/laravel-svg in combination with another middleware that must always be executed after the SVGs are injected in the response, you may use the $middlewarePriority logic on the Laravel router to ensure it's always run after.

The order in this array is counterintuitive: at first must the CacheResponse middleware be specified, and then the SVG injection middleware. This is due to the way middleware responses are build. This ensures that first the SVGs are injected, and that complete response is cached.

Example for usage with spatie/laravel-responsecache

app/Http/Kernel.php

protected $middlewarePriority = [
    ...
    \Spatie\ResponseCache\Middlewares\CacheResponse::class,
    \Enflow\Svg\Middleware\InjectSvgSpritesheet::class,
];

Testing

$ composer test
