Parcel-Bundler how to add SVG like how react does it - reactjs

I am using parcel with typescript and out the box everything just works,
Now when I try to include svg it didn't work,
This is because I needed to change in typescript
declare module "*.svg"
This allows me to now compile my typescript.
Now the other thing that doesn't work is now I want to import my SVG component
and just use it like create-react-app 2
Import Icon from "./icon.svg"
function DisplayIcon(){
return <Icon/>
}
So this looked straightforward
https://www.npmjs.com/package/#svgr/parcel-plugin-svgr
yarn install and I get Can't resolve
<Typescript file>:<Line>:<Column>: Cannot resolve dependency './icon.svg' at '<Icon Location>'
So I think maybe it's the plugin and I try to use
https://www.npmjs.com/package/parcel-plugin-inlinesvg
I get the same issue.
What is it that I am missing?
I see some people have .babelrc files but the plugins should just work out the box atleast that is what the documentation says.
Using plugins in Parcel could not be any simpler. All you need to do
is install and save them in your package.json. Plugins should be named
with the prefix parcel-plugin- or #your-scope/parcel-plugin-, e.g.
parcel-plugin-foo or #your-scope/parcel-plugin-foo. Any dependencies
listed in package.json with these prefixes will automatically be
loaded during initialization.
It seems like the plugins boot, but nothing works.
Without the plugins I get the file in my public path with a string to it in my JavaScript runtime.
What am I missing and what am I doing wrong?

ReferenceError in monorepo-imported Typescript JSX component

I'm using Turborepo to build a Typescript monorepo which contains a number of packages that make up a UI framework. The first component is a very basic multi-panel display that is transpiled to ES6 using tsc. The package transpiles and builds correctly, but when I attempt to import one of the JSX components from the package, I get the following error.
I'm pretty new to working with monorepos, so I'm sure there's some configuration somewhere I've missed, but this is working with Turborepo out of the box and I'd been hoping that it would Just Work. The repo structure is the default Turborepo structure but I've attached that anyway in case I've missed something there.

Snowpack with React and CSS modules bundled into JavaScript

I’m having an issue with Snowpack and CSS modules. When I build the app it creates a .json file with the hashed and non-hashed class names but they are not loaded into index.js and all the classes show as undefined when inspecting the page. When I look at the source I can see an empty object that looks like it should have the JSON in and if I add it manually it works... is there something I need to configure to get this to work or should it just do it after importing the xxx.module.css file?
Additionally is there a way to bundle the css in with the JavaScript so it injects the styles at runtime rather than having a separate css file? Maybe using #snowpack/webpack to bundle them?
Update:
I just updated to the latest version of snowpack and it doesn’t even generate the .json file...

Import TypeScript modules from local module into React app

I'm trying to separate my projects and keep logic as separate components that I will end up publishing. For now, before I do so, I'd like to keep it organized as such:
A library of TS scripts in a project called project-a
A separate React app that I created with create-react-app (using Typescript as the template) called project-b
The React app's .tsx components will pull from project-a's .ts files.
I've gone ahead in project-b and ran yarn add ../project-a. This installs the library as a dependency. I then import the .ts files and my code editor is able to see all the types and definitions really nicely. Great!
When I run the application, Webpack complains:
./node_modules/project-a/src/calc.ts 2:7
Module parse failed: Unexpected token (2:7)
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type, currently no loaders are configured to process this file. See https://webpack.js.org/concepts#loaders
|
> export enum Position {
| Inner = 0,
| Outer = 1
I don't understand why it's not parsing the file as a .ts. The whole React application is setup with TypeScript and I'm even import some .ts files locally. Do I need to tell Webpack to handle the files imported from this module as Typescript source (assuming Webpack wouldn't attempt parsing them if it didn't need to)?
The React template didn't setup a webpack (I'm assuming it's using a hidden default) but I am able to adjust the tsconfig.json file. I added my modules direct path into the include array. That didn't seem to do much either.
Basically: how can I get passed the above error and continue importing the TypeScript files from my dependency module in my main application?
You have to compile down project-a to javascript and emit the typings file, because imports from packages have to be Javascript.
The type infos you get from external packages is delivered via the .d.ts file alongside the package.
When you import other packages, you always import the Javascript file.
Even locally, Webpack doesn't compile the typescript for you, a loader during bundling does. So once running inside the browser, it's all Javascript.
But you are trying to import a Typescript file during runtime.

Typescript cannot load SVG as react components

I'm trying to import in Typescript some SVG icons, but I'm facing some problems.
At the first time I tried to import them, Typescript wasn't able to recognize the file extension.
I solved this issue by creating, as suggested in other Stack Overflow and Github topics, a custom.d.ts file with this rule inside:
declare module "*.svg" {
const content: React.StatelessComponent<React.SVGAttributes<SVGElement>>;
export default content;
}
But the problems seem to not finish here, even if the compilation seems going fine.
The current project I'm working on, is structured this way:
Typescript + React package (with SVG icons files) (SDK)
React Internal Sample page (package) to use the SDK
other internal packages...
For our development phase, we build through Webpack all the packages through different loaders and see the result through the Sample page.
But the final product flow to production is quite different: I export the SDK as CommonJS to an internal NPM Registry so another company can use it in a React project (the equivalent of the Sample page but for production) and push to production the final Webpack bundles with both projects inside.
So, to load in the Sample application the SVG icons, I'm using #svgr/webpack loader, which converts the files.
But when I have to export the SDK through npx tsc, I see that the exported folder, does not contain the folders with svg files.
I've tried to include them in tsconfig.json/files, but got this error:
TS6054: File '<path>/*.svg' has an unsupported extension. The only supported extensions are '.ts', '.tsx', '.d.ts'.
So, to attempt exporting them I converted my exporting script to use #svgr/cli to export the files to React files from SVGs before compiling to typescript:
// package.json
scripts: {
"build-ts": "rm -rf ./lib; yarn convert-svg-to-react; npx tsc",
"convert-svg-to-react": "npx #svgr/cli -d src src --typescript",
}
In this way, I get the new Typescript files mixed with the SVGs inside the package (so I'll have to remove them later) and I can see them in the exported folder lib.
But watching inside the Typescript exported code, I can see this line (for each svg import):
var close_svg_1 = __importDefault(require("./icons/close.svg"));
Leaving out the Typescript function for Babel __importDefault, you can see that it still requires the file svg, but what I have at this point, are the React components that replaces those files.
During development it works fine because #svgr/webpack loader, resolves the svg files.
But requiring svg files that do not exist, should make the application above it crash.
So, I'm stuck and I need some clues to get out of this situation.
Some clues that I got (but wasn't able to find how to do that), were:
[Best] Find how I can export raw svg files as they are during Typescript compilation without doing that manually, as they are not all in one folder but divided per components areas in the package tree. Doing this, I would tell the other company to add #svgr/webpack to its own building process.
Find how can I tell Typescript to import svg files without specify the extension (currently, removing .svg probably makes it fallback to .ts/tsx and therefore it cannot find the file with that name). In this way, the require would keep requiring the same file name but I could convert SVG to React Components without occurring in problems. But this would also require Typescript to export the file
Otherwise, I should convert all the SVGs in React components and directly use them instead of making them being compiled by #svgr/webpack, but I'm not sure this would have some other side-effects.
Any other clues or any way to achieve the ideas I got? Thank you everybody.

New create-react-app failing to compile sass

I've had issues with my react project and as such i've just made a new reactapp and updated all the packages in my package.json. However, Either the updated react version, react dependancies or node-sass is not allowing the project to be compiled. It installs without any vulnerabilities which is great, but the sass compiler doesn't want to play ball.
Folder structures as follows
--src
--api
--assets
--fonts
--images
--components
--pages
--scss
--_variables.scss
--_media.scss
--_mavigation.scss
--App.scss
--App.js
--index.js
seems to break whenever i'm referring to background-images in css, i can't seem to get the right path to work, despite the same paths working in an older version of reactjs.
I get the following error
Failed to compile.
./src/App.scss (./node_modules/css-loader/dist/cjs.js??ref--6-oneOf-5-1!./node_modules/postcss-loader/src??postcss!./node_modules/resolve-url-loader??ref--6-oneOf-5-3!./node_modules/sass-loader/dist/cjs.js??ref--6-oneOf-5-4!./src/App.scss)
Module not found: Can't resolve './scss/assets/images/camera.png' in 'xxxproject/src'
The css this is erroring on is as follows;
background-image: url('./assets/images/camera.png');
Anyone got any ideas?
Problem is like
Background url is like
'./assets/images/camera.png'
Node sass tring to resolve it at
'./scss/assets/images/camera.png'' ///scss causing problem
Solution : use ../ in background-image
background-image: url('../assets/images/camera.png'); // as per your folder structur
