Understanding the Problem:

Error genered by Nextjs

When SVGs are copied from various sources, they might contain attributes that are not compatible with React or Next.js. Manually renaming these attributes can be time-consuming and error-prone, often leading to frustration among developers. SVG Renamer is specifically crafted to mitigate these challenges, ensuring a seamless experience when working with SVGs in React applications.

How to use?

  1. Install the “SVG Attribute to CamelCase” extension from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.
  2. Open an XML or SVG file in the Visual Studio Code editor.
  3. Place the cursor inside the file, or make sure the file is in focus.
  4. Use one of the following methods to replace the attributes:
  5. Execute the “Replace attributes with camelCase” command from the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS) or the right-click context menu.
  6. Use the provided keybinding (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R on macOS) to quickly replace the attributes.
