not able to use addAttributes plugin

[gjjones]

The addAttributesToSVGElement plugin will not function without first being defined in the .svgo.yml defaults file.

This should just need to be added to the default plugins config to be allowed for use.

Any update on this? It does not work and I have no idea where to find the .svgo.yml file.

[gjjones]

What svgo version are you using? The plugin is available as of 7.0.1. There is a file named .svgo.yml in the base directory of your svgo installation. Near the bottom of that file is a line that reads - addAttributesToSVGElement. I'd be curious to know if it' there.

You can also enable it in your own config file or through --enable option (as of v0.7.1).

[stephan-v]

I pulled it in via imagemin and imagemin grabs imagemin-svgo: 5.1.0 which in turns grabbed svgo 0.7.0.

I guess that's where the problem is.

I've added it myself to the file but it does not work properly though.

If I try this:

{
    addAttributesToSVGElement: {
        attribute: ["mySvg", "test"]
    }
}

I will get an error:
Error in parsing SVG: Invalid attribute name

If I try this:

{
    addAttributesToSVGElement: {
        attributes: ["mySvg", "size-big"]
    }
}

I will get an error:
Error in parsing SVG: Attribute without value

Am I using it wrongly here?

[gjjones]

Are you able to put this up as a minimal example in a gist or repo? I'll happily take a look to see what's going on, but I'm having trouble understanding from what you've said.

Also, the first example of attribute expects a single string. attributes will accept and array and add all of them.

[gjjones]

Nevermind, easy enough to repro.

[stephan-v]

Yes I thought so as well with the single string for a single attribute and I tried that as well but it does not work. This is repo where my gulpfile is located:

https://github.com/stephan-v/svg-workflow

You can take a look if you want. I will try to see why it is not working.

I am also getting this issue. What was the resolution to using the addAttributes plugin?

[Matt-Butler]

{
      addAttributesToSVGElement: {
        attributes: [`mirror-on-bidi="true"`, `is-static="true"`]
      }
    }

The code above works, but I am unable to add an attribute without a value.

[stephan-v]

This was never resolved since I used this for a research project. I am afraid that the current implementation is broken/unfinished.

the problem still occurs, solution?
