elm-svg-string

Write code resembling elm/svg and serialize to either a string or actual SVG

This package copies the entire API of elm/svg, but adds 2 functions:

• toHtml which serializes the resulting Svg.String.Html msg node into a Html.Html msg node
• toString which serializes the node into a String with optional indentation

Two caveats:

• You need to change your imports
• It can't properly support lazy nodes since those can't be expressed in Elm

Show me an example!

import Svg.String as Svg exposing (Svg)
import Svg.String.Attributes as Attr
import Svg.String.Events as Events


someSvg : Html Msg
someSvg =
    Svg.svg [ height "68px", attribute "version" "1.1", viewBox "0 0 48 68" ]
        [ Svg.rect [ Attr.style "fill: red", Attr.style "stroke: blue" ] []
        ]


someSvgAsString : String
someSvgAsString =
    Svg.toString 2 <| someSvg

{- Expected output:

    <svg height="68px" version="1.1" view-box="0 0 48 68">
      <rect style="fill: red" style="stroke: blue"></rect>
    </svg>
-}

Cool, anything else I should be aware of?

Yes.

• Event handlers are removed from the output.

Alright, coolbeans
