Knowit.Umbraco.SvgPicker

A property editor for Umbraco 17 that lets editors pick SVG symbols from a spritesheet. The selected symbol renders as <svg><use>, performant, browser-cached, and design-system safe.

Editors only pick from symbols a designer has built into the sprite. No arbitrary SVG uploads, no inline styles, no broken proportions.

Requirements

  • Umbraco 17 or later
  • .NET 10
  • An SVG spritesheet with <symbol> elements (typically generated by your frontend build, e.g. Vite with @spiriit/vite-plugin-svg-spritemap)

Installation

dotnet add package Knowit.Umbraco.SvgPicker

No changes to Program.cs needed. The package registers itself on startup.

Setup

1. Create a data type

Settings → Data Types → Create → select SVG Picker as the property editor.

Setting Description
SVG Sprite Path Absolute URL to your spritesheet, e.g. /assets/svg/sprite.svg
Picker Title Optional label shown above the icon grid

2. Add to a document type

Add the data type as a property on any document type.

3. Render in Razor

Add the using directive to Views/_ViewImports.cshtml:

@using Knowit.Umbraco.SvgPicker.Extensions

Then render:

@* Default sprite path (/assets/svg/sprite.svg) *@
@Html.SvgIcon(Model.Value<string>("icon"))

@* With a CSS class *@
@Html.SvgIcon(Model.Value<string>("icon"), "w-6 h-6")

@* With an explicit sprite path *@
@Html.SvgIcon(Model.Value<string>("icon"), "w-6 h-6", "/assets/svg/icons.svg")

This renders:

<svg class="w-6 h-6" aria-hidden="true">
  <use href="/assets/svg/sprite.svg#icon-home"></use>
</svg>

How it works

Only the symbol ID (e.g. icon-home) is stored as a plain string. The spritesheet is fetched once by the browser and cached; all <use> references are near-zero cost after that.

The backoffice picker fetches your spritesheet, parses all <symbol> elements, and shows them in a searchable visual grid so editors always know what they're selecting.

Credits

This package continues a lineage of SVG symbol pickers for Umbraco:

This package reimplements the same concept for Umbraco 17 using the Lit/Web Component backoffice.
