Vue Cli 3 is not allowing me to process SVG's in Webpack

This took me a while to find a work around. Basically you need to stop file-loader matching on .svg. The best way I have found to do this is using chainWebpack and returning false from the test method on file-loader. I have included my working config.

module.exports = {
  lintOnSave: false,
  configureWebpack: {
    module: {
      rules: [
        {
          test: /\.(svg)(\?.*)?$/,
          use: [
            {
              loader: 'svg-inline-loader',
              options: {
                limit: 10000,
                name: 'assets/img/[name].[hash:7].[ext]'
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  chainWebpack: config => {
    config.module
      .rule('svg')
      .test(() => false)
      .use('file-loader')
  }
}

The Webpack docs for Vue CLI 3.0 beta got updated with an example on how to replace an existing Base Loader. For svg-sprite-loader this means that you'll have to add the following configuration to your vue.config.js:

chainWebpack: config => {
  config.module
    .rule('svg')
    .use('file-loader')
    .loader('svg-sprite-loader')
}

I'm using Vue CLI 3.0.3 and this config works for me

const path = require('path');
const glob = require('glob');
const SpriteLoaderPlugin = require('svg-sprite-loader/plugin');

module.exports = {
  lintOnSave: false,
  configureWebpack: {
    plugins: [
      new SpriteLoaderPlugin()
    ]
  },
  chainWebpack: config => {
    config.module.rules.delete('svg');

    config
      .entry('app')
      .clear()
      .add(path.resolve(__dirname, './src/main.ts'))

    config
      .entry('sprite')
      .add(...glob.sync(path.resolve(__dirname, `./src/assets/icons/*.svg`)));

    config.module.rule('svg')
      .test(/\.(svg)(\?.*)?$/)
      .use('file-loader')
      .loader('svg-sprite-loader')
      .options({
        extract: true,
        spriteFilename: 'icons.svg'
      })
  }
};
