Webpack 5! Is svg-sprite-loader compatible with Webpack 5?

Webpack 5! Is svg-sprite-loader compatible with Webpack 5?
I update my application from 4 to 5 webpack and seems sprite stop working properly.
svg-sprite-loader is not generated symbol anymore, instead I got this data data:image/svg+xml;base64

Current behavior
I receive this as output:

Expected behavior
With webpack 4 I have this:

This is a part of my webpack config

environment:

• Node.js version: 12.17.0
• React version: 17.0.2
• webpack version: 5.66.0
• svg-sprite-loader version: 6.0.11
• OS type & version: Ubuntu

I tried many cases and config changes...but with no success. I don't know even to what I should pay attention, because there are no visible errors while building the app.
also there is no info in readme regarding webpack5.

I would really appreciate any help. Thanks.

Here #470 I posted diff that also adds webpack@5 support.

This needs to be added to the documentation. I searched for this solution almost an entire day. Is it a webpack or a loader specific config? In my case, i was doing a require.context for the svgs and importing them all from a folder. Before i upgraded webpack, i was getting actual modules but after the upgrade i was just getting strings

const requireContext = require.context('./assets/svg', true, /\.svg$/)
requireContext.keys().forEach(requireContext)
