SVG-Join

There are webpack or gulp solutions for combining SVG. But I could not find simple CLI version. Here it is. It just join SVG files in symbol collection with CSS description.

I am strongly recommend to use svgo for optimizing before joining.

Installation

$ [sudo] npm install -g svg-join

Options

Option	Description	Default value
-s, --source	the source directory with filename mask in glob format
-o, --output	the output directory	"."
-n, --name	file name (without ext.) for bundles (SVG & CSS)	"svg-bundle"
--cssName	file name (with ext.) for CSS bundle (if different)
-p, --prefix	prefix for CSS selectors	"svg_"
-m, --mono	extract presentation attributes from single-styled SVG to CSS	false
--calcSide	calculate omitted side from viewBox values	false

Usage

svg-join -s "./svg/*.svg" -o ./public -n mybundle

Will create mybundle.svg and mybundle.css in public folder.

Warning! The files are overwritten silently.

svg-join -s "/your/path/**/*.svg"

Looking for SVG files recursively in /your/path/ subfolders.

svg-join -s "./svg/*.svg" --mono

<svg id="exmpl"><path... fill="transparent" stroke="#fff" stroke-width="2"/></svg>

The 'fill', 'stroke', 'stroke-width' attributes will be cutted from SVG and placed into CSS.

.svg_exmpl { fill: transparent; stroke: #fff; stroke-width: 2; }

svg-join -s "./svg/*.svg" --calcSide

<svg id="f033" height="1.1em" viewBox="0 0 1024 1792">...</svg>

The omitted side (width in current example) will be calculated from viewBox values.

.svg_f033 { width: 0.6286em; height: 1.1em; }

This option applies only for 'em', 'rem' and 'px' units.
