Can I use SVG icons with Material-UI in React

1. Material Icons:
- Material-UI comes with a set of over 2,100 Material Icons that are ready to use as React components. These icons are exported from the `@mui/icons-material` package and can be imported directly into your React components[1][3].

2. SvgIcon Component:
- The `SvgIcon` component is a wrapper for custom SVG icons. It extends the native `

3. Custom SVG Icons:
- You can import SVG files directly into your React components using loaders like `@svgr/webpack` or `url-loader` in your `webpack.config.js` file. This method allows you to use SVG icons without any additional libraries[1][2].

Here is an example of using the `SvgIcon` component with a custom SVG icon:

javascript
import { ReactComponent as StarIcon } from './star.svg';
import SvgIcon from '@material-ui/core/SvgIcon';

const Icon = () => {
  return (
    <SvgIcon component={StarIcon} inheritViewBox />
  );
};

export default Icon;

In this example, the `SvgIcon` component wraps the custom SVG icon (`StarIcon`) and inherits the `viewBox` attribute from the original SVG file.

Installation

To use Material Icons, you need to install the required packages:

bash
npm install @mui/icons-material @mui/material @emotion/styled @emotion/react

Usage

To use Material Icons, you can import them directly into your React components:

javascript
import AccessAlarmIcon from '@mui/icons-material/AccessAlarm';

Custom SVG Icons

To use custom SVG icons, you need to configure your Webpack setup to handle SVG files. For example, you can use the `@svgr/webpack` loader:

javascript
module.exports = {
  // ... other configurations
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.svg$/,
        use: ['@svgr/webpack'],
      },
    ],
  },
};

Then, you can import your SVG icons directly:

javascript
import { ReactComponent as StarIcon } from './star.svg';

Conclusion

Material-UI provides robust support for SVG icons, allowing you to use both Material Icons and custom SVG icons in your React applications. The `SvgIcon` component is a versatile tool for wrapping custom SVG icons and integrating them seamlessly with Material-UI components.
