Inject external SVG files into HTML
grunt-svginjector
is a Grunt plugin that allows you to inline SVGs into your HTML by way of a generated JavaScript file. It works great in conjunction with grunt-svgstore for using SVG icons.
Read this article to see how I'm using it.
This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5
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, you may install this plugin with this command:
npm install grunt-svginjector --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-svginjector');
Run this task with the grunt svginjector
command.
Type: String
Default: svginjector
The ID of the element into which to inject the SVGs.
Here's a quick example (see the example
folder for input/output of task):
grunt.initConfig({
svginjector: {
example: {
options: {
container: 'icons-container'
},
files: {
'example/dist/icons.js': 'example/src/icons.svg'
}
}
}
});
