Namecheap Takes Down Polyfill.io Service Following Supply Chain Attack
Polyfill.io has been serving malware for months via its CDN, after the project's open source maintainer sold the service to a company based in China.

Advanced tools
Package description
The svgo npm package is a Node.js-based tool for optimizing SVG vector graphics files. SVGO stands for Scalable Vector Graphics Optimizer. It works by applying a series of transformations and optimizations to SVG files to reduce their size without affecting their visual quality. This is particularly useful for web development, where smaller file sizes can lead to faster load times and better performance.
Minify SVG files
This feature allows you to minify SVG files by removing unnecessary data without affecting the rendering of the SVG. The code sample demonstrates how to use the optimize function to minify an SVG string.
const { optimize } = require('svgo');
const svgString = '<svg ...> ... </svg>';
const result = optimize(svgString, { path: 'path/to/svg/file.svg' });
console.log(result.data);
Remove specified attributes
This feature allows you to remove specified attributes from SVG elements. The code sample shows how to use the removeAttributesBySelector plugin to remove the 'fill' attribute from all elements that have it.
const { optimize } = require('svgo');
const svgString = '<svg ...> ... </svg>';
const result = optimize(svgString, {
plugins: [
{
name: 'removeAttributesBySelector',
params: {
selector: '[fill]',
attributes: 'fill'
}
}
]
});
console.log(result.data);
Prettify SVG files
This feature allows you to prettify SVG files by reformatting them with consistent indentation and spacing. The code sample demonstrates how to use the js2svg option with the pretty parameter set to true.
const { optimize } = require('svgo');
const svgString = '<svg ...> ... </svg>';
const result = optimize(svgString, {
plugins: [
'preset-default',
'sortAttrs',
{
name: 'removeAttrs',
params: { attrs: '(stroke|fill)' }
}
],
js2svg: { pretty: true }
});
console.log(result.data);
imagemin-svgo is a plugin for Imagemin, which is a general image optimization framework. While svgo focuses solely on SVG files, Imagemin can handle various image formats when combined with the appropriate plugins. Imagemin-svgo brings the capabilities of svgo to the Imagemin ecosystem.
svg-sprite is a package that takes a set of SVG files and combines them into a single sprite sheet. While svgo optimizes individual SVG files, svg-sprite focuses on creating an efficient way to bundle multiple SVGs for use on the web.
svg-crowbar is a tool designed to extract SVG elements from an HTML document and download them as standalone SVG files. It is different from svgo, which optimizes existing SVG files rather than extracting them from HTML.
Readme

SVG Optimizer is a Nodejs-based tool for optimizing SVG vector graphics files.
SVG files, especially exported from various editors, usually contains a lot of redundant and useless information such as editor metadata, comments, hidden elements, default or non-optimal values and other stuff that can be safely removed or converted without affecting SVG rendering result.
SVGO has a plugin-based architecture, so almost every optimization is a separate plugin.
Today we have:
<metadata>
viewBox
attribute when possibleenable-background
attribute when possiblergb()
to #rrggbb
, from #rrggbb
to #rgb
)Want to know how it works and how to write your own plugin? Of course you want to.
$ [sudo] npm install -g svgo
Usage:
svgo [OPTIONS] [ARGS]
Options:
-h, --help : Help

-s STRING, --string=STRING : Input SVG data string
-f FOLDER, --folder=FOLDER : Input folder, optimize and rewrite all *.svg files
-o OUTPUT, --output=OUTPUT : Output file (by default the same as the input), "-" for STDOUT
-c CONFIG, --config=CONFIG : Local config file to extend default
--disable=DISABLE : Disable plugin by name
--enable=ENABLE : Enable plugin by name

INPUT : Alias to --input
OUTPUT : Alias to --output
with files:
$ svgo test.svg
or:
$ svgo test.svg test.min.svg
with STDIN / STDOUT:

with folder
$ svgo -f ../path/to/folder/with/svg/files
with strings:
$ svgo -s '<svg version="1.1">test</svg>' -o test.min.svg
or even with Data URI base64:
$ svgo -s 'data:image/svg+xml;base64,…' -o test.min.svg
