How can I include a svg in my Kotlin/JS resources? I followed this (<https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C0B8L3U69/p1637057339393600?thread_ts=1637054144.390200&amp;cid=C0B8L3U69>) but that only seems to include the file in the webserver, instead of embedding it in the JS file.

```@JsModule("./star.svg")
@JsNonModule
external val star: dynamic```
`console.log(star)` = `<http://localhost:8080/images/8879ae8fb00946dae2fd.svg>` , instead of printing the svg content. I want the svg to be inlined (because animations) so that's why I can't just reference the svg in a &lt;img&gt; tag

Found out how :slightly_smiling_face:

`Project Root Folder/webpack.config.d`

```config.module.rules.push(
    {
        test: /\.(svg)$/i,
        type: 'asset/source'
    }
);```
```@JsModule("./star.svg")
@JsNonModule
external val star: dynamic

console.log(star)```
Prints...
```&lt;svg xmlns="<http://www.w3.org/2000/svg>" viewBox="0 0 576 512"&gt;&lt;!-- Font Awesome Free 5.15.1 by @fontawesome - <https://fontawesome.com> License - <https://fontawesome.com/license/free> (Icons: CC BY 4.0, Fonts: SIL OFL 1.1, Code: MIT License) --&gt;&lt;path fill="#ffffff" d="M528.1 171.5L382 150.2 316.7 17.8c-11.7-23.6-45.6-23.9-57.4 0L194 150.2 47.9 171.5c-26.2 3.8-36.7 36.1-17.7 54.6l105.7 103-25 145.5c-4.5 26.3 23.2 46 46.4 33.7L288 439.6l130.7 68.7c23.2 12.2 50.9-7.4 46.4-33.7l-25-145.5 105.7-103c19-18.5 8.5-50.8-17.7-54.6zM388.6 312.3l23.7 138.4L288 385.4l-124.3 65.3 23.7-138.4-100.6-98 139-20.2 62.2-126 62.2 126 139 20.2-100.6 98z"/&gt;&lt;/svg&gt;```
If you are curious about other available "type", check out <https://webpack.js.org/guides/asset-modules/>

But it works :slightly_smiling_face:

```fun main() {
    val icon = require("icons/star.svg")
}```

<@U33H6SB2B> what's the difference between your solution and mine? Yours use "svg-inline-loader" so that's why I'm wondering

Optimization expected from `svg-inline-loader`

<@U33H6SB2B> Hi, I am new to kotlin (multiplattform + JS) and I guess your plugin kfc-plugins ( I added 5.45.0) is something I might need but I don’t understand yet how I can add the solution in WebpackLoadersPlugin above for example, to add inline svg.
Could you maybe explain me a little bit more about the plugin and how to use it? Thank you in advance

`svg-inline-loader` will be configured by default, if you will apply `kfc.application` plugin

<@U33H6SB2B> I am getting a Run error when I try to use `id("io.github.turansky.kfc.application") version "5.45.0"` :
`Cannot add extension with name 'kotlin', as there is an extension already registered with that name.`
Do you have an idea where this could come from?
Setup is Multiplatform &amp; Springboot
