Making svg sprites with gulp

Just a simple demo gulp task that makes an optimised svg sprite, using symbols, to be injected inline into the document. To get started, just clone the repository and do npm install. If you're using express, you can simply read the contents of the file:

var app = require("express")();
var fs = require("fs");

// Set contents of the sprite as a local variable in the template.
app.locals.svgSprite = fs.readFileSync("public/sprite.svg");

Symbols could be used like so:

<svg><use xlink:href="#svg-plus"></use></svg>

Where #svg-plus comes from the filename plus.svg prefixed with svg-. You can now manipulate/animate your SVGs just with CSS!
