API

svgo([options])

options

encode

Type: boolean Default: undefined

If true, it will encode URL-unsafe characters such as <, > and &; false will decode these characters, and undefined will neither encode nor decode the original input. Note that regardless of this setting, # will always be URL-encoded.

plugins

Optionally, you can customise the output by specifying the plugins option. You will need to provide the config in comma separated objects, like the example below. Note that you can either disable the plugin by setting it to false, or pass different options to change the default behaviour.

const postcss = require('postcss');
const svgo = require('postcss-svgo');

const opts = {
    plugins: [{
        name: 'preset-default',
        params: {
            overrides: {
                removeViewBox: false,
                removeComments: false,
                cleanupNumericValues: {
                    floatPrecision: 2
                }
            }
        }
    }]
};


postcss([ svgo(opts) ]).process(css).then((result) => {
    console.log(result.css)
});

Similar packages

Other packages similar to postcss-svgo

svgo

SVGO is the underlying library that postcss-svgo uses for optimizing SVG files. It can be used directly on SVG files, rather than through CSS, providing a more general-purpose tool for SVG optimization.

gulp-svgmin

This is a Gulp plugin that uses SVGO to optimize SVG files. It's similar to postcss-svgo but is designed to be used in a Gulp-based build process, making it more suitable for workflows that are already using Gulp.

imagemin-svgo

imagemin-svgo is a plugin for Imagemin, another build tool, that also uses SVGO for optimizing SVG files. It's comparable to postcss-svgo but is tailored for use with Imagemin, which can handle various image formats, not just SVG.

grunt-svgmin

This is a Grunt plugin that leverages SVGO to optimize SVG files. It's an alternative to postcss-svgo for those who are using Grunt in their build process.
