sketchsvg v0.0.1

SketchSVG

What is it?

SketchSVG is a CLI that is intended to convert icons made in Sketch to compressed, easy to use SVGs for use on the web. SketchSVG also will convert these to a Base64 encoded value so they can be used in conjunction with the CSS url property.

Installation

Important: It should be noted that this is for Mac only, since Sketch is only on Mac OS npm install sketchsvg -g
or if you prefer yarn yarn global add sketchsvg

Usage

Once installed, run sketchsvg like so:

sketchsvg /full/path/to/file

From there, SketchSVG will convert your icons to SVGs as well as Base64s and output them like so:

SketchSVG will also generate a basic HTML page with a bare bones editor for you to test out your icons, change the colors, sizes, etc. Here is a screenshot of this:

Demo

We have included a couple of test files for single as well as multiple icons in a single sketch file. To try it out download our sample files in the /sample folder.

First install sketchsvg and grab our .sketch files from the repo. Then:

sketchsvg /path/to/multitest.sketch
