Package Exports
- grunt-svgmin/tasks/svgmin
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (grunt-svgmin) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
grunt-svgmin

Minify SVG using SVGO
Issues with the output should be reported on the SVGO issue tracker.
Getting Started
If you haven't used grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a gruntfile as well as install and use grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, install this plugin with this command:
npm install --save-dev grunt-svgmin
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-svgmin');
Tip: the load-grunt-tasks module makes it easier to load multiple grunt tasks.
Documentation
See the Gruntfile in this repo for a full example.
Example config (static)
grunt.initConfig({
svgmin: { // Task
options: { // Configuration that will be passed directly to SVGO
plugins: [
{ removeViewBox: false },
{ removeUselessStrokeAndFill: false }
]
},
dist: { // Target
files: { // Dictionary of files
'dist/figure.svg': 'app/figure.svg' // 'destination': 'source'
}
}
}
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-svgmin');
grunt.registerTask('default', ['svgmin']);
Example config (dynamic)
grunt.initConfig({
svgmin: { // Task
options: { // Configuration that will be passed directly to SVGO
plugins: [
{ removeViewBox: false },
{ removeUselessStrokeAndFill: false }
]
},
dist: { // Target
files: [{ // Dictionary of files
expand: true, // Enable dynamic expansion.
cwd: 'img/src', // Src matches are relative to this path.
src: ['**/*.svg'], // Actual pattern(s) to match.
dest: 'img/', // Destination path prefix.
ext: '.min.svg' // Dest filepaths will have this extension.
// ie: optimise img/src/branding/logo.svg and store it in img/branding/logo.min.svg
}]
}
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-svgmin');
grunt.registerTask('default', ['svgmin']);
Available Options/Plugins
svgmin makes use of the standard SVGO plugin architecture. Therefore, to customize SVG optimisation, you can disable/enable any SVGO plugins listed at the SVGO repository.
To disable plugins with the Gruntfile.js, look for the plugin name at the SVGO repository and copy the plugin name (minus the file extension). Then set its value in the JSON to false
in comma-separated objects. To exemplify, here is how the plugins section in the example configuration (illustrated above) might be written with some of the standard SVGO plugins disabled:
plugins: [
{ removeViewBox: false }, // don't remove the viewbox atribute from the SVG
{ removeUselessStrokeAndFill: false }, // don't remove Useless Strokes and Fills
{ removeEmptyAttrs: false } // don't remove Empty Attributes from the SVG
]
Check each plugin for exports.active = [true/false]
to see if the plugin is enabled. Most of the plugins are enabled by default but you may want to prevent a couple, particularly removeUselessStrokeAndFill
as that may remove small details with subtracted / extruded complex paths.
