Can I use SVG sprites with Material-UI components

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.

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.

Using SVG Sprites with Material-UI

To use SVG sprites with Material-UI, you can follow these steps:

1. Create the SVG Sprite: Create an SVG sprite that contains all your custom icons. This sprite should be a single file that contains all the icons you need.

2. Import the SVG Sprite: Import the SVG sprite into your React component using a loader like `@svgr/webpack` or `url-loader`.

3. Wrap the SVG Sprite with SvgIcon: Wrap the SVG sprite with the `SvgIcon` component from Material-UI. This component provides built-in accessibility and supports customization with props like `viewBox` and `color`.

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

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

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

export default Icon;

Example with Dynamic Import

If you need to dynamically import the SVG sprite based on the icon name, you can use the following approach:

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

const CustomMUIIcon: React.FC<IProps> = (props: IProps): JSX.Element => {
  const { iconName, ...rest } = props;

  return (
    <SvgIcon {...rest}>
      <use xlinkHref={`#${iconName}`} />
    </SvgIcon>
  );
};

export default CustomMUIIcon;

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. By following these steps, you can effectively use SVG sprites with Material-UI components in your React applications[1][3][4].
