javascript - how to set up an inline svg with webpack

Question

I am wondering how to set up an inline svg with webpack?

I am following the react-webpack-cookbook.

I have my webpack.config set up correctly with the file loader.

However the example shows using a background image like this:

.icon {
   background-image: url(./logo.svg);
}

which works fine, but I want to have an inline svg image how do I do this to include my logo.svg inline in my react component?

import React, { Component } from 'react'

class Header extends Component {

  render() {
    return (
        <div className='header'>
            <img src={'./logo.svg'} />
        </div>
    );
  }
};

export default Header

Actually Michelle's answer pointed me in the right direction, and that works nicely for loading an svg file with webpack and using it as your <img> src

However to actually get the inline svg, I needed to do the following:

Instead of file-loader use svg-inline-loader as your svg loader:

{ test: /.svg$/, loader: 'svg-inline-loader' }

Then to load the svg inline in a component:

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import logo from "./logo.svg";

class Header extends Component {

  render() {
    return (
        <div className='header'>
          <span dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: logo}} />
        </div>
    );
  }
};

export default Header

It looks like there is an inline svg wrapper for react svg-inline-react which would be another option instead of the <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: mySvg}} />
