Flutter SVG rendering

Question

I tried adding an image with a SVG source to my flutter application.

new AssetImage("assets/images/candle.svg"))

But I didn't get any visual feedback. How can I render an SVG picture in Flutter?

Flutter does not have built-in support for rendering SVG images. However, there are several packages available that can help you achieve this. One popular package is flutter_svg. You can install it by adding the following line to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies: 
flutter_svg: ^0.22.0

After that, you can import the package and use the SvgPicture widget to display your SVG image. Here's an example:

import 'package:flutter_svg/flutter_svg.dart';
...
SvgPicture.asset(
  'assets/images/candle.svg',
  semanticsLabel: 'Candle',
);

Make sure that the SVG file is located in the assets/images directory of your project and that it has the correct path specified in the AssetImage or SvgPicture.asset widget. Additionally, if you are using an SVG file that was created with Adobe Illustrator, make sure that it has been saved with the "SVG Tiny 1.2" profile. This will ensure that the file is compatible with flutter_svg.

I hope this helps!
