Topic: Using SVG In NavBar Brand

ewgiddings free asked 5 years ago


Expected behavior I have an SVG that works when inserted into HTML. I want to put it as the brand logo in an mdb navbar but when I put it in place of the image as shown in the example like so:

    <mdb-navbar SideClass="navbar navbar-dark indigo">
    <mdb-navbar-brand>
        <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">
            <svg><svg>
        </a>
    </mdb-navbar-brand>
</mdb-navbar>

Actual behavior The SVG is present in the DOM but has a height and width of 0 x 0. Again all SVG work perfectly fine outside of this mdb-navbar-brand - but have height and width of 0 when placed inside.

How can I place an SVG instead of an image as the brand in the navbar?

I got it to not be 0 x 0 by adding a style width to the mdb-navbar-brand element and then a style width to the svg itself. Is this the recommended way of doing this?

We will take a closer look at this problem, for now please use your custom styles.

Dear @ewgiddings

I have tried to reproduce your problem again, but without success.

I have copied your <svg> element, and it is working fine.

Please take a look at the below code and screenshot.

.html:

Dear @ewgiddings

Could you please provide me with the <svg> HTML code which you're using? I have tried to reproduce your problem, but I don't know, what's wrong.

I've got an svg element in the mdb-navbar-brand component. If I'm not setting svg width with css, it takes all possible space (100% width and height).

Please take a look at this code:

<mdb-navbar SideClass="navbar navbar-dark indigo">
  <mdb-navbar-brand>
    <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">
      <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 68 65">
        <path fill="#1A374D"
              d="M42 27v-20c0-3.7-3.3-7-7-7s-7 3.3-7 7v21l12 15-7 15.7c14.5 13.9 35 2.8 35-13.7 0-13.3-13.4-21.8-26-18zm6 25c-3.9 0-7-3.1-7-7s3.1-7 7-7 7 3.1 7 7-3.1 7-7 7z"/>
        <path
          d="M14 27v-20c0-3.7-3.3-7-7-7s-7 3.3-7 7v41c0 8.2 9.2 17 20 17s20-9.2 20-20c0-13.3-13.4-21.8-26-18zm6 25c-3.9 0-7-3.1-7-7s3.1-7 7-7 7 3.1 7 7-3.1 7-7 7z"/>
      </svg>
    </a>
  </mdb-navbar-brand>
</mdb-navbar>

Damian
