tea.xyz Spam Plagues npm and RubyGems Package Registries
Tea.xyz, a crypto project aimed at rewarding open source contributions, is once again facing backlash due to an influx of spam packages flooding public package registries.

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 Node.js-based tool for optimizing SVG vector graphics files.
SVG files, especially those exported from various editors, usually contain a lot of redundant and useless information. This can include editor metadata, comments, hidden elements, default or non-optimal values and other stuff that can be safely removed or converted without affecting the SVG rendering result.
# Via npm
npm -g install svgo
# Via yarn
yarn global add svgo
# Processing single files:
svgo one.svg two.svg -o one.min.svg two.min.svg
# Processing directory of svg files, recursively using `-f`, `--folder` :
svgo -f ./path/to/folder/with/svg/files -o ./path/to/folder/with/svg/output
# Help for advanced usage
svgo --help
SVGO has a plugin-based architecture, separate plugins allows various xml svg optimizations. See built-in plugins.
SVGO automatically loads configuration from svgo.config.js
or from --config ./path/myconfig.js
. Some general options can be configured via CLI.
// svgo.config.js
module.exports = {
multipass: true, // boolean. false by default
datauri: 'enc', // 'base64' (default), 'enc' or 'unenc'.
js2svg: {
indent: 2, // string with spaces or number of spaces. 4 by default
pretty: true, // boolean, false by default
},
plugins: [
// set of built-in plugins enabled by default
'preset-default',
// enable built-in plugins by name
'prefixIds',
// or by expanded notation which allows to configure plugin
{
name: 'sortAttrs',
params: {
xmlnsOrder: 'alphabetical',
},
},
],
};
When extending default configuration specify preset-default
plugin to enable optimisations.
Each plugin of default preset can be disabled or configured with "overrides" param.
module.exports = {
plugins: [
{
name: 'preset-default',
params: {
overrides: {
// customize default plugin options
inlineStyles: {
onlyMatchedOnce: false,
},
// or disable plugins
removeDoctype: false,
},
},
},
],
};
Default preset includes the following list of plugins:
It's also possible to specify a custom plugin:
const anotherCustomPlugin = require('./another-custom-plugin.js');
module.exports = {
plugins: [
{
name: 'customPluginName',
params: {
optionName: 'optionValue',
},
fn: (ast, params, info) => {},
},
anotherCustomPlugin,
],
};
SVGO provides a few low level utilities.
The core of SVGO is optimize
function.
const { optimize } = require('svgo');
const result = optimize(svgString, {
// optional but recommended field
path: 'path-to.svg',
// all config fields are also available here
multipass: true,
});
const optimizedSvgString = result.data;
If you write a tool on top of SVGO you might need a way to load SVGO config.
const { loadConfig } = require('svgo');
const config = await loadConfig();
// you can also specify a relative or absolute path and customize the current working directory
const config = await loadConfig(configFile, cwd);
