{
"scripts": {
"svg-sprite": "svg-symbol-sprite -i ./assets/svgs -o ./dist/sprite.svg"
}
}npm run svg-sprite
# or
yarn svg-spriteUsage without installation (with npx)
The tool can be also used without installing it:
npx svg-symbol-sprite -i ./assets/svgs -o ./dist/sprite.svgSVG Optimization
svg-symbol-sprite optimizes the input SVG files using SVGO and an opinionated configuration file. In order to customize the SVGO config, one can do so by using the -c or --config option and an absolute path to the SVGO config file.
If you wish to completely disable the SVGO files optimization, pass "false" to the --config option.
Accessibility
svg-symbol-sprite does not help with SVG icons' accessibility. This is your responsibility as a developer - you should make sure that your SVGs contain relevant title and id attributes.
