@wado/scratch-svg-renderer v0.2.0

scratch-svg-renderer

A class built for importing SVGs into Scratch. Imports an SVG string to a DOM element or an HTML canvas. Handles some of the quirks with Scratch 2.0 SVGs, which sometimes misreport their width, height and view box.

Installation

This requires you to have Git and Node.js installed.

To install as a dependency for your own application:

npm install scratch-svg-renderer

To set up a development environment to edit scratch-svg-renderer yourself:

git clone https://github.com/LLK/scratch-svg-renderer.git
cd scratch-svg-renderer
npm install

How to include in a Node.js App

import SvgRenderer from 'scratch-svg-renderer';

const svgRenderer = new SvgRenderer();

const svgData = "<svg>...</svg>";
const scale = 1;
const quirksMode = false; // If true, emulate Scratch 2.0 SVG rendering "quirks"
function doSomethingWith(canvas) {...};

svgRenderer.loadSVG(svgData, quirksMode, () => {
	svgRenderer.draw(scale);
	doSomethingWith(svgRenderer.canvas);
});
