vite-plugin-svg-icons-ng

name	vite-plugin-svg-icons-ng
description	Use for packages/vite-plugin-svg-icons-ng implementation work: icon scanning, compilation and caching, symbolId generation, HTML injection, Vite virtual modules, SSR, and HMR. Trigger for changes under src/core, src/plugin, src/cache, src/types, or their tests; use the other skills for workspace release boundaries or svg-icon-baker conversion internals.

vite-plugin-svg-icons-ng

Scope

Use this skill only for the Vite integration and icon compilation behavior in packages/vite-plugin-svg-icons-ng/:

• iconDirs scanning, symbolId generation, compilation cache, and error policy
• HTML injection, runtime mounting, and virtual module rendering
• dev-server watching, module invalidation, and sprite HMR
• package types, unit tests, and browser tests

Use svg-icon-baker for SVG conversion and ID rewriting. Use vite-plugin-svg-icons-ng-workspace for workspace, release, or cross-package work.

Sources of Truth

Confirm behavior in this order:

1. src/index.ts, src/types.ts, and src/constants.ts
2. src/core/, src/cache/, and src/plugin/
3. test/unit/ and test/browser/
4. The package package.json, vitest.config.ts, and README.md
5. docs/, CHANGELOG files, and Git history

Documentation describes the consumer contract; source and tests define execution semantics. Historical src/**/__tests__ locations moved to test/unit/; do not reintroduce the old paths.

Reference Map

• Read Compiler Contract before changing src/core/, src/cache/, option resolution, symbol ids, error policy, compile ordering, or BakeIssue reporting.
• Read Runtime Contract before changing src/plugin/, virtual modules, htmlMode, SSR loading, sprite mounting, watcher behavior, or HMR.

Immediate Invariants

• Dev, build, and SSR must use the same IconCompiler.getResult() result model.
• Keep preferred virtual ids and both deprecated aliases until an explicit breaking change.
• An icon change must invalidate compiler state and virtual modules, recompile, then broadcast the latest sprite.

Validation

• Types and implementation: pnpm --filter vite-plugin-svg-icons-ng run typecheck
• Unit tests: pnpm --filter vite-plugin-svg-icons-ng run test:unit
• Browser mounting, HMR, and SSR behavior: pnpm --filter vite-plugin-svg-icons-ng run test:browser
• Package build: pnpm --filter vite-plugin-svg-icons-ng run build
• Integration boundaries: pnpm run build:playground

Should Trigger

• "Why do ids not refresh after adding an SVG?"
• "Change HTML injection or SSR behavior for htmlMode."
• "Add a compatible virtual module alias."
• "Fix icon caching or HMR on Windows paths."

Should Not Trigger

• "Change the SVGO safe plugin list."
• "Change url(#id), SMIL, or <style> ID rewriting."
• "Confirm workspace commands or release tags."

Gotchas

• Do not change virtual module ids or deprecated aliases without updating types, documentation, and compatibility tests.
• Do not use automatic htmlMode injection and manual register mounting as the default for the same sprite.
