A node lib to convert svg shape elements into path svg elements.

convertPath

A node lib to convert svg shape elements into path svg elements.

Install

npm install convertpath

What it can do

convertpath has a plugin-based architecture, so almost every optimization is a separate plugin.

Today we have:

Plugin	Description
convertUseToGroup	convert defs and symbol elements into group svg elements.
convertShapeToPath	convert svg shape elements into path svg elements.
removeGroups	move some group and move some group attributes to the contained elements
convertTransfromforPath	remove transform attribute and convert path data to relative
removeGradient	remove gradient if reference via url('#id')
viewBoxTransform	remove width/height attributes and reset ViewBox

Usage

const SVGParser = require('convertpath')

const parse = SVGParser.parse('./test/test.svg', {
  plugins: [
    {
      convertUseToGroup: true, // at first
    },
    {
      convertShapeToPath: true,
    },
    {
      removeGroups: true,
    },
    {
      convertTransfromforPath: true,
    },
    {
      viewBoxTransform: true, // at last
    },
  ],
  size: 1000,
})

const result = parse.toSimpleSvg()
console.log(result)

const paths = parse.getPathAttributes()
console.log(paths)

/**
 * '<circle cx="500" cy="500" r="20" fill="red"/>'
 */
console.log(parse.toSimpleSvg())

/**
 * '<path d="M500,500,m-20,0,a20,20,0,1,0,40,0,a20,20,0,1,0,-40,0,Z" fill="red"/>'
 */
