laravel-elixir-svgstore v1.0.3

Laravel Elixir SVGStore

A Laravel Elixir extension wrapping gulp-svgstore

Installation

npm install --save-dev laravel-elixir-svgstore

Add it to your Elixir-based Gulpfile:

var elixir = require('laravel-elixir');

require('laravel-elixir-svgstore');

elixir(function(mix) {
  mix.svgstore();
});

Usage

By default, it will look for .svg files within resources/assets/svg/ and output sprites.svg to public/svg/, using the following svgmin plugins:

...

plugins: [{
  cleanupIDs: {
    prefix: prefix + '-',
    minify: true
  }
}]

You can optionally pass custom arguments for:

• source directory
• output directory
• filename
• svgmin plugins

...

var svgminPlugins = [
  { removeUnknownsAndDefaults: false },
  { removeUselessStrokeAndFill: false },
  { collapseGroups: false }
];

elixir(function(mix) {
  mix.svgstore('resources/assets/icons', 'public/sprites/', 'icons.svg', svgminPlugins);
});

In Your Blade Templates

If you started with a file called myicon.svg you can display that icon like this:

<svg style="width: .75em; height: .75em">
  <use xlink:href="svg/sprites.svg#myicon"/>
</svg>

For older browsers you will need to use something like svg4everybody to polyfill svg support.

Contributions

This plugin is very bare bones at the moment. Pull requests for extra features are welcome!
