If I render an SVG image with <Image source={{uri: 'https://productpains.com/img/user-placeholder.svg'}} />, nothing renders and I don't get any error message.
I recently created this: https://github.com/alloc/react-native-svgkit
It works just like the Image component. Unfortunately, it's only for react-native-macos at the moment. I'm open to contributions that add support for iOS and Android, though!
You can use my package https://github.com/khorark/svg2rn . Founded on svgo, but support svg class and svg from Adobe XD. By default uses svg styles. If need you can change attr width, height, fill and other by pass props.
I can't see any image follow your url
I'd love to see native support for this. Webviews and other packages have been clunky, at best.
I just published a new package that solves this and adds support for remote svg images (local and remote)! Try it and let me know if you find any issues.
@Shiva Nandan: Works! My respects
@Shiva Nandan: This will instanciate an entire WebView for each images. Each WebViews asks for a lot of memory and cpu ressources. So it's really not good for performance at scale, when interfaces may have an hundred of little images and icons to display.
@Yair Behar: How this is good?? It`s terrible
@alex row: I wanted to say "not good". I ommited the "not". Of course this is terrible. I corrected my comment.
https://github.com/matc4/react-native-svg-uri seems like a great candidate
@Juan: A more efficient way is to convert the svg files to actual react components, much less overhead than react-native-svg-uri for bundled assets (it also has problems with release builds on android, requires a babel plugin to read the svg as plain text). There exists https://github.com/chrisbull/svg-to-react-native-cli
Or alternatively, if you need to clean up svgs made in illustrator for use with react-native-svg, then you can use my gist: https://gist.github.com/msand/4b37d3ce04246f83cb28fdbfe4716ecc
It converts Illustrator SVG export into cross-platform CSS independent mode. CSS rule and style inlining, group gradients into a definitions tag, remove elements with display set to none, make colors hex. Works with react-native-web react-native-svg and svgs to give cross-platform web and native mobile rendering of any SVG produced in Illustrator.
@Mikael Sand: I agree, I had some issues when deploying so I ended up exporting svg as text from independent js files
I'm successfully using: https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-svg
My process:
1. Clean up SVG in graphics app (Illustrator/Sketch/etc) to set consistent width, height, and make sure the viewBox is "0, 0, W, H"
2. Open SVG in text editor to remove width, height, and any undesired/unnecessary styles
3. Open in https://jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg/ and optimize.
4. Integrate info app by converting SVG tags to component-based SVG tags used in https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-svg and updating with JS variables such that I can controls dimensions, colors, etc.
5. Use in other components.
For a set of icons, I place them in a single component and pass a "name" property to return the desired SVG:

@Beau Smith: Is this scaleable? As in, if I had a list with 100 png's rendering vs a list of 100 svg's rendering, which would by defualt have better performance? Thanks :)
@Dan Huey: Use react-native-svg If you need to manipulate nodes, otherwise it's not efficient in speed and memory.
@Beau Smith: THANKS!!!
I think we'll want to be able to specify the source as either a uri (as in the example) or as data (as used by react-native-svg). This gives us some choice over our performance trade offs based on the vector's complexity.
does it help with this? https://github.com/necinc/msvgc
I actually think it is reasonable for the React Native core to only stick to the image formats supported by the underlying platforms. Thus I've personally preferred to convert source SVG images to PNGs for use in our apps. Until recently, I've just run a separate script to build scaled PNGs at compile time, but since 0.57 allowing .svg file import and metro allowing asset plugins, I've been able to create a nicer workflow for this.
https://github.com/aeirola/react-native-svg-asset-plugin is a tool I wrote for generating scaled PNG images from imported SVG images during compile time. This means that there are no extra runtime dependencies, and you can work with normal React Native Image components as you would with natively supported image formats. Of course the app size will grow with a lot of large images, but I think it is still useful for certain situations.
@Axel Havukangas: Thanks for the plugin man! It does really works without any extra shenanigans. +1 to your karma :)
