Daniel Bannert's open source work is supported by the community on GitHub Sponsors


Install

npm install --dev-save @anolilab/unplugin-favicons favicons
yarn add -D @anolilab/unplugin-favicons favicons
pnpm add -D @anolilab/unplugin-favicons favicons

Zero Config Usage

Add your base logo as logo.png file to your assets folder.

Only declared icons generation

unpluginFavicons({
    /**
     * Specify each icon type to render. Unlike `favicons`, this plugin is
     * opt-in, meaning only the icon types you declare here will be rendered.
     *
     * For each icon type, all `favicons` options are supported. An
     * additional `source` property is required to indicate the asset to be
     * used for that icon type.
     */
    icons: {
        favicons: {
            source: "./assets/favicon.png",
        },
        android: {
            source: "./assets/android.png",
        },
        appleStartup: {
            source: "./assets/apple-startup.png",
        },
    },
});

Add the plugin to your bundler as follow:

Vite
// vite.config.ts
import unpluginFavicons from "@anolilab/unplugin-favicons/vite";

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        unpluginFavicons({
            /* options */
        }),
    ],
});


Rollup
// rollup.config.js
import unpluginFavicons from "@anolilab/unplugin-favicons/rollup";
// To use the auto inject
import html from "@rollup/plugin-html";

export default {
    plugins: [
        // html(), // optional
        unpluginFavicons({
            /* options */
        }),
    ],
};


esbuild (Only generates the favicons)
// esbuild.config.js
import { build } from "esbuild";

build({
    plugins: [
        require("@anolilab/unplugin-favicons/esbuild")({
            /* options */
        }),
    ],
});


Webpack
// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
    /* ... */
    plugins: [
        require("@anolilab/unplugin-favicons/webpack")({
            /* options */
        }),
    ],
};


Vue CLI (Untested)
// vue.config.js
module.exports = {
    configureWebpack: {
        plugins: [
            require("@anolilab/unplugin-favicons/webpack")({
                /* options */
            }),
        ],
    },
};


Nuxt

Nuxt 2 and Nuxt Bridge

// nuxt.config.js
export default {
    buildModules: [
        [
            "@anolilab/unplugin-favicons/nuxt",
            {
                /* options */
            },
        ],
    ],
};

Nuxt 3

// nuxt.config.js
export default defineNuxtConfig({
    modules: [
        [
            "@anolilab/unplugin-favicons/nuxt",
            {
                /* options */
            },
        ],
    ],
});

See the Nuxt example for a working example project.


SvelteKit (No Supported for now, see Vite Plugin)

The @anolilab/unplugin-favicons plugin should be configured in the vite.config.js configuration file:

// vite.config.js
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import { sveltekit } from "@sveltejs/kit/vite";
import unpluginFavicons from "@anolilab/unplugin-favicons/vite";

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        sveltekit(),
        unpluginFavicons({
            /* options */
        }),
    ],
});

Check instructions in the Frameworks -> Svelte section below if you faced module import errors.

See the SvelteKit example for a working example project.


Svelte + Vite

Svelte support requires the @sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte plugin:

npm i -D @sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte

The @anolilab/unplugin-favicons plugin should be configured in the vite.config.js configuration file:

// vite.config.js
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import { svelte } from "@sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte";
import unpluginFavicons from "@anolilab/unplugin-favicons/vite";

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        svelte(),
        unpluginFavicons({
            /* options */
        }),
    ],
});

Check instructions in the Frameworks -> Svelte section below if you faced module import errors.

See the Svelte + Vite example for a working example project.


Next.js (Not Supported for now)

The @anolilab/unplugin-favicons plugin should be configured on next.config.js configuration file:

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
module.exports = {
    reactStrictMode: true,
    webpack(config) {
        config.plugins.push(
            require("@anolilab/unplugin-favicons/webpack")({
                /* options */
            }),
        );

        return config;
    },
};

Check instructions in the Frameworks -> React section below if you faced module import errors.

See the Next.js example for a working example project.


Astro
// astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from "astro/config";
import unpluginFavicons from "@anolilab/unplugin-favicons/vite";

// https://astro.build/config
export default defineConfig({
    vite: {
        plugins: [
            unpluginFavicons({
                /* options */
            }),
        ],
    },
});

See the Astro example for a working example project.


The default configuration will automatically generate webapp manifest files along with 44 different icon formats as appropriate for iOS devices, Android devices, Windows Phone and various desktop browsers out of your single logo.png.

Tip: You might want to fine tune what vendors to support.

A Note on Path Resolution

Under the hood, Vite/Rollup resolve the paths to the logo and favicons according to the following rules:

  • If /path/to/logo is absolute, there is nothing to resolve and the path specified is used as is.

  • If ./path/to/logo is relative, it’s resolved with respect to process.cwd().

HTML Injection

In combination with Vite’s html plugin hooks it will also inject the necessary html for you:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="57x57" href="/assets/apple-touch-icon-57x57.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="60x60" href="/assets/apple-touch-icon-60x60.png" />

Advanced Usage

  unpluginFavicons({
    /** Your source logo (Will default to ) */
    logo?: "assets/logo.png",
    /** Inject html links/metadata. */
    inject?: true,
    /** `Favicons` configuration options
    *  - [See `favicons` documentation](https://github.com/itgalaxy/favicons) */
    favicons?: FaviconsConfig,
    /** The root of the project from which you want to load metadata */
    projectRoot?: process.cwd(),
  })

To fine tune what icons/metadata is generated, refer to favicons’ documentation.

The options specified under favicons: are handed over as is to [favicons], except that if appName, appDescription, version, developerName or developerURL are left undefined, they will be automatically inferred respectively from name, description, version, author.name and author.url as defined in the nearest package.json if available. And if there’s no author it will use the first in the contributors. To disable automatically retrieving metadata from package.json, set to null the properties you want to omit.

Examples

Basic

unpluginFavicons({
    logo: "./src/logo.png", // svg works too!
    favicons: {
        appName: "my-app",
        appDescription: "My awesome App",
        developerName: "Me",
        developerURL: null, // prevent retrieving from the nearest package.json
        background: "#ddd",
        theme_color: "#333",
        icons: {
            coast: false,
            yandex: false,
        },
    },
});

To fine tune what icons/metadata is generated, refer to favicons’ documentation.

Handling Multiple HTML Files

Vite calls the HTML transform hook for each HTML file template file you have configured in Vite, so this works automatically.
