Overview
View Exports SVG is a Visual Studio Code extension that helps developers discover, preview, and manage SVG component libraries in modern front-end projects.
In projects with growing icon sets, understanding what SVG components exist and how they are structured can become difficult. View Exports SVG provides a unified, editor-native interface to explore SVG components without leaving VS Code.
What It Does
The extension scans your workspace and extracts exported SVG components from:
- JavaScript (
.js) - TypeScript (
.ts) - JSX / TSX (
.jsx,.tsx)
It uses Babel AST traversal to accurately detect SVG components in React, Preact, and other JSX-based frameworks.

-
Workspace-wide Discovery Scans the entire project and lists all exported SVG components.
-
