Troubleshooting SVG Not Loading in Angular Production Builds

When developing applications with Angular, you might face a situation where your SVG images work perfectly fine during local development but fail to load in production. This issue can be quite frustrating, especially when you see that the image files are present in the dist directory. In this guide, we will explore the causes of this problem and guide you through the steps to resolve it effectively.

The Problem: SVG Files Not Displaying

After compiling your Angular application for production using the command:

you find that while everything appears to be set up correctly, your SVG images do not display in the app when accessed via a browser. Oddly enough, they work perfectly when running the app locally with ng serve.

What You've Observed:

Locally: SVG images are displayed as expected.

Production: SVG images do not show up, even though they are present in the dist directory.

Solution: Pointing Angular to the Right Asset File Paths

The primary cause of the issue lies in the way Angular manages asset files. When building your app for production, you must explicitly allow access to the SVG assets in your Angular configuration. Here's how to do it:

Step 1: Update Angular's Asset Configuration

To ensure your SVG images load correctly, you should add the necessary file paths to the Angular CLI assets configuration. Here's a simple guide on what to do:

Open Angular Configuration File: Navigate to the angular.json file in your Angular project.

Locate the Assets Section: Find the assets array, which typically looks like this:

Add Your SVG Path: Update the array to include the path to your SVG files. It should now look something like this:

By including the relative path to your SVG assets directly, you ensure that Angular recognizes and includes them during the build process.

Step 2: Rebuild Your Application

After making these changes, it's crucial to rebuild your Angular application for production. Run the build command again:

This will create an updated dist directory that includes the SVG files as specified in your configuration.

Step 3: Deploy the Updated Build

Once the build process is complete, upload the new dist directory files to your server. Then you can navigate to your application in the browser to check if the SVG images are now displaying correctly.

Conclusion

Loading SVG files in an Angular production build can be problematic if the configuration isn’t set up correctly. By ensuring that your SVG file paths are included in the asset configuration, you can overcome this common issue. Remember, if you encounter similar problems with other asset types, the solution is likely rooted in a similar configuration oversight.
