+### Default import config
+When no explicit params are provided SVGs will be imported as Vue components by default.
+This can be changed using the `defaultImport` config setting,
+such that SVGs without params will be imported as URLs (or raw strings) instead.

+#### `vite.config.js`
+```js
+svgLoader({
+  defaultImport: 'url' // or 'raw'
+})
