🎯 Your First SVG

Now that View Exports SVG is running, let's walk through your first real interaction with an SVG component.

This section shows how to:

  • Locate an SVG component
  • Preview it instantly
  • Copy and use it in your code

🔍 Finding an SVG Component

After opening the extension, you'll see a grid containing all detected SVG components in your project.

Each item represents:

  • An exported SVG-based component
  • A live preview
  • A set of quick actions

You don't need to open files or search manually.


👁 Previewing the Icon

  1. Click on any icon in the grid.
  2. The DevTools panel opens automatically (default behavior).
  3. You'll see:
    • A live preview of the icon
    • The component rendered in real time
    • Default props applied

This allows you to visually confirm the icon before using it.


📋 Copying the Component Name

To use the icon in your code:

  • Single click on the icon card → The component name is copied to your clipboard.

No guessing, no typos, no trial-and-error imports.
