svg-swap-jq-plugin v1.0.0

swap-svg-JQplugin

Jquery plugin to Swap Images with svg src with inline svg Elements.

The Problem.

If you've ever used svg icons, you would have added it as an source, like so.

<img src="circle.svg" />

this takes away all the editability of the svg. you cannot use css selectors, etc.

The solution

the plugin swaps this

<img class="swap-svg" id="myid" src="circle.svg" />

<svg class="swap-svg" id="myid" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" preserveAspectRatio="none" x="0px" y="0px" width="330px" height="400px" viewBox="0 0 330 400">
......
</svg>

now you can use your css selector to change colors, etc.

Usage.

1. Add the scripts.

<script src="bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script src="swap-svg.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

2. Add a class to the images you wanna swap

<img class="swap-svg" id="myid" src="circle.svg" />
<swap class="swap-svg" src="BatmanHat.svg"></swap>

yes, it works on any tag as long as it as a src attribute with svg file source.

3. initiate the plugin.

$('.swap-svg').swapSvg();
