Load | Save as Files

var svgTextPath = require('svg-text-to-vector');

var options={
load:'file.svg',
save:'file-convert.svg'
}	

const convert = await svgTextPath.getPath(options);

Load | Save as Buffer

var svg = fs.readFileSync(�./public/file.svg�);
svg=Buffer.from(svg);

var options={
load:svg,
save:�buffer�
}

const convert = await ConvertToPath.getPath(options);

Load | Save as Base64

var svg = fs.readFileSync(�./public/file.svg�,�base64�);

var options={
load:svg,
save:�base64�
}

const convert = await ConvertToPath.getPath(options);

Load | Save as SVG String (utf-8)

var svg = fs.readFileSync(�./public/file.svg�,{encoding:�utf8�});

var options={
load:svg,
save:�utf8� | �utf-8�
}

const convert = await ConvertToPath.getPath(options);

Fonts Handling

• All dynamically added & built-in font names & paths load from svg-text-to-vector/config/fonts.json file

Dynamically Add Fonts

• Dynamically add fonts with json key & value pair {�name�, �path�}. Each font needs to be added one time only for all future purposes.

var font={"name":"Lexend Tera","path": "/lexend_tera.ttf"};

const addFonts = await ConvertToPath.push(font);

Add Fonts Manually

• Open svg-text-to-vector/config/fonts.json and simply add more fonts.

{
   "font":[
      {
         "name":"Times New Roman",
         "path":"./public/fonts/times.ttf"
      },
      {
         "name":"Anton",
         "path":"./public/fonts/anton.ttf"
      }	  
   ]
}
