A Snippet to See all SVGs in a Sprite

Publikováno: 8.10.2019

I think of an SVG sprite as this:

<svg display="none">
  <symbol id="icon-one"> ... <symbol>
  <symbol id="icon-two"> ... <symbol>
  <symbol id="icon-three"> ... <symbol>
</svg>

I was long a fan of that approach for icon systems (<use>-ing them as needed), but I favor including the SVGs directly as needed these days. Still, sprites are fine, and fairly popular.

What if you have a sprite, and you wanna see what's in it?

Here's a tiny bit of JavaScript that will loop through all the symbols it finds and inject a SVG that uses each one...

const sprite = document.querySelector("#sprite");
const symbols = sprite.querySelectorAll("symbol");

symbols.forEach(symbol => {
  document.body.insertAdjacentHTML("beforeend", `
  <svg width="50" height="50">
     <use xlink:href="#${symbol.id}" />
  <svg>
`)
});

See the Pen

on CodePen.

That's all.
