svg-eslint-parser

📦 An SVG parser that produces output compatible with ESLint.

Important

Status: Work In Progress, not ready for production.

API is not stable now, use at your own risk.

Features

• ✅ ESLint Compatible: Produces AST compatible with ESLint's parser interface
• 🎯 Type Safe: Full TypeScript support with comprehensive type definitions
• 🔍 Rich Utilities: Built-in functions for searching, traversing, and manipulating AST
• 📊 Detailed AST: 16 node types covering all SVG/XML constructs
• 🚀 Zero Dependencies: Minimal runtime dependencies for fast installation
• 🎪 Interactive Playground: Try it online at svg-eslint-parser.ntnyq.com

Install

npm install svg-eslint-parser -D

yarn add svg-eslint-parser -D

pnpm add svg-eslint-parser -D

Usage

Basic Parsing

import { parse, parseForESLint } from 'svg-eslint-parser'

// For direct use
const document = parse('<svg><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" /></svg>')
console.log(document.type) // 'Document'

// For ESLint integration
const result = parseForESLint('<svg><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" /></svg>')
console.log(result.ast.type) // 'Program'

With ESLint

import pluginSVG from 'eslint-plugin-svg'
import * as parserSVG from 'svg-eslint-parser'

export default [
  {
    name: 'svg/rules',
    files: ['**/*.svg'],
    plugins: {
      svg: pluginSVG,
    },
    languageOptions: {
      parser: parserSVG,
    },
    rules: {
      'svg/no-empty-title': 'error',
    },
  },
]

Using Utilities

import {
  parseForESLint,
  findNodeByType,
  NodeTypes,
  traverseAST,
} from 'svg-eslint-parser'

const { ast } = parseForESLint(svgSource)
const document = ast.body[0]

// Find all tag nodes
const tags = findNodeByType(document, NodeTypes.Tag)
console.log(`Found ${tags.length} tags`)

// Traverse with visitor pattern
traverseAST(document, {
  enter(node, parent) {
    console.log('Visiting:', node.type)
    // Return false to skip children
    if (node.type === 'Comment') return false
  },
  leave(node, parent) {
    console.log('Leaving:', node.type)
  },
})

API

Parser Functions

parseForESLint(code: string, options?: ParserOptions)

Returns an ESLint-compatible result with AST, visitor keys, and services.

parse(code: string, options?: ParserOptions)

Returns a Document node directly.

Utility Functions

Search & Traversal

• findNodeByType<T>(node, type) - Find all nodes of a specific type
• findFirstNodeByType<T>(node, type) - Find first node of a specific type
• traverseAST(node, visitor) - Visitor pattern traversal with enter/leave hooks
• walkAST(node, callback) - Simple traversal with callback

Validation

• validateNode(node) - Validate node structure
• isNodeType<T>(node, type) - Type guard function

Manipulation

• cloneNode<T>(node) - Deep clone without parent references
• cloneNodeWithParent<T>(node, parent?) - Clone preserving parent refs
• filterNodes(node, predicate) - Filter nodes by predicate
• mapNodes<T>(node, mapper) - Map over all nodes

Analysis

• countNodes(node) - Count total nodes
• getNodeDepth(node) - Get node depth (requires parent refs)
• getParentChain(node) - Get ancestor chain (requires parent refs)

Node Types

The parser defines 34 node types:

Document Structure: Program, Document

Elements: Tag, OpenTagStart, OpenTagEnd, CloseTag

Attributes: Attribute, AttributeKey, AttributeValue, AttributeValueWrapperStart, AttributeValueWrapperEnd

Text & Comments: Text, Comment, CommentOpen, CommentContent, CommentClose

XML Declaration: XMLDeclaration, XMLDeclarationOpen, XMLDeclarationClose, XMLDeclarationAttribute, XMLDeclarationAttributeKey, XMLDeclarationAttributeValue, XMLDeclarationAttributeValueWrapperStart, XMLDeclarationAttributeValueWrapperEnd

DOCTYPE: Doctype, DoctypeOpen, DoctypeClose, DoctypeAttribute, DoctypeAttributeValue, DoctypeAttributeWrapperStart, DoctypeAttributeWrapperEnd

Error Handling: Error

Example: Finding All Circles

import { parseForESLint, findNodeByType, NodeTypes } from 'svg-eslint-parser'

const svgCode = `
<svg width="200" height="200">
  <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" fill="red" />
  <circle cx="150" cy="150" r="30" fill="blue" />
  <rect x="10" y="10" width="50" height="50" />
</svg>
`

const { ast } = parseForESLint(svgCode)
const document = ast.body[0]

// Find all tags and filter for circles
const allTags = findNodeByType(document, NodeTypes.Tag)
const circles = allTags.filter(tag => tag.name === 'circle')

console.log(`Found ${circles.length} circles`)

circles.forEach((circle, i) => {
  const cx = circle.attributes.find(attr => attr.key.value === 'cx')
  const cy = circle.attributes.find(attr => attr.key.value === 'cy')
  const r = circle.attributes.find(attr => attr.key.value === 'r')

  console.log(
    `Circle ${i + 1}: cx=${cx?.value?.value}, cy=${cy?.value?.value}, r=${r?.value?.value}`,
  )
})

Output:

Found 2 circles
Circle 1: cx=50, cy=50, r=40
Circle 2: cx=150, cy=150, r=30
