svg-el v0.0.4

svg-el

a handy tool to create svg element

Motivation

There's aleary a package svg. But:

1. at current time, this package can't handle surrounding spaces, this forbid me to use template string (or I need to remember to trim the string, this is a little confusing).

2. I feel a little inconvenient to write a bunch of template string, especially for style attribute. instead of:

svg(`
  <rect
    width="${width}"
    height="${height}"
    style="stroke: ${stroke}; fill: none;"
  />
`)

I prefer:

svgEl('rect', {
    width,
    height,
    style: {
      stroke,
      fill: 'none'
    }
})
