How to Have Multiple Svg Images in a Single File

Can I have Multiple SVG images in a single file?

You can only have a single root node in an html document. Nevertheless there are various ways to achieve what you want.

One way is SVG Stacks which works by having all the drawings on top of each other and then just displaying the one you want to see using CSS.

Another way might be to have a shapes.svg like this with all the drawings in different places

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">

  <g transform="translate(0,0)">
    <circle cx="100" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="2" fill="red" />
  </g>

  <g transform="translate(0,200)">
    <rect width="100" height="100" style="fill:rgb(0,0,255);stroke-width:1;stroke:rgb(0,0,0)" />
  </g>
  <g transform="translate(0,400)">
    <line x1="50" y1="0" x2="0" y2="50" style="stroke:rgb(255,0,0);stroke-width:2" />
    <line x1="50" y1="0" x2="100" y2="50" style="stroke:rgb(255,0,0);stroke-width:2" />
    <line x1="0" y1="50" x2="100" y2="50" style="stroke:rgb(255,0,0);stroke-width:2" />
  </g>
</svg>

And then use svgView to show just the bits you want.

<html>
<body>
<embed src="shapes.svg#svgView(viewBox(50,0,100,100))" style="width:100px;        height:100px" type="image/svg+xml" />
<embed src="shapes.svg#svgView(viewBox(0,200,100,100))" style="width:100px;height:100px" type="image/svg+xml"/> 
<embed src="shapes.svg#svgView(viewBox(0,400,100,100))" style="width:100px;height:100px" type="image/svg+xml"/>  
</body>
</html>

All of these do mean though that you use more memory in the UA as the whole svg file is loaded 3 times and you just see a part of it each time.

React - import multiple svgs in a single file

You cant export default multiple value type thing.

Either do this:

export {
    IconVideoOn,
    IconVideoOff,
    IconMicOn,
    IconMicOff
};

then your existing import works

Or do this:

const MySVG = {
    IconVideoOn,
    IconVideoOff,
    IconMicOn,
    IconMicOff
};

export default MySVG;

Then import like this:

import MySVG from '../../components/Icons/icons';

and use like this:

<img src={MySVG.IconVideoOn} alt=""/>

multiple svg images in one file breaks text

Check that there are no duplicate id attributes in the two SVGs. ids must be unique on the page, otherwise any SVG features that use id references (like <use>, gradients etc) can't be trusted to point to the right thing.

Since Chrome and FF handle duplicate ids differently, a quick way to check this is the cause would be to see if the two browsers render the two-svg page differently.
