dj-svg

dj-svg is a fork of django-inline-svg which works with Django >4, it's a simple plugin that adds an svg template tag to inline your SVGs in your Django templates.

Installation

Install it from pypi.

pip install dj-svg

Add dj_svg to your INSTALLED_APPS.

    INSTALLED_APPS = (
        ...
        'dj_svg',
        ...
    )

Usage

Store your SVGs in folder named svg at the root of any of your static file directories.

    my_app
    |-- static
    |   |-- svg
    |       |-- logo.svg
    |       |-- check.svg
    |       |-- cross.svg

Use the svg template tag.

    {% load svg %}

    <h1 class="logo">{% svg 'logo' class="css-class" height="16" width="16" %}</h1>

You can set SVG_DIRS to control where to look for your svgs.

    # settings.py

    SVG_DIRS=[
        os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'my-svgs')
    ]

Passing html attributes to svg templatetag

With inlining SVG's, it's helpful to give them class names so you can change the fill color using CSS. And if you're using a framework like tailwind, you can do it like so:

{% svg 'icon-search' class='h-10 mt-6' %}

This will add fixed height and top margin to SVG.

Thanks to Jure Cuhalev for this one.
