@novafex/react-cvg v1.1.0

React CVG

Compressed Vector Graphics (CVG) is an alternative format for encoding vector graphics which is based on interoperability with SVG. Essentially, it transforms SVG for optimized over-the-wire transmission, and usage within JavaScript environments. It does this by converting SVG's XML nodes into a JSON structure with some liberties taken in flexibility for short-hand declarations.

!WARNING Not for production use yet as it is still a heavy work-in-progress.

npm install --save @novafex/react-cvg
yarn add @novafex/react-cvg

Usage

This library provides one component CVG which takes a single prop def. Use this prop to supply the CVG definition object and the component will expand it to browser-ready SVG. This process is memoized to prevent accidental re-renders from taking too many frames.

If you need to generate CVG from SVG it is recommended to do this before-hand and load the CVG over-the-wire via JSON.parse(). The @novafex/cvg library is available as well which can help generate the CVG if you need to.

To generate it before hand, it is recommended to use the @novafex/cvg-cli tool in your console to consume SVG files. Otherwise, Tacklebox can also do this for you.
