Development

Setting up a development environment

A Docker development environment is included with the project:

docker-compose run --rm cli magento-extension-installer Meanbee_SVGHelper \
&& docker-compose up -d

Usage

The SVGHelper is set as data on every block. This means that in your template you can call:

<?php echo $block->getData('svgHelper')->getViewSvg('pathtofile.svg') ?>

<?php echo $block->getData('svgHelper')->getViewSvg('Magento_Module::pathtofile.svg') ?>

This will output the raw contents of the svg file.
