How to pass param to plugin through CLI

[jkelstrup]

I can't seem to figure out how to pass a param to a plugin when using the command line.

Specifically I want to tell convertColors to set currentColor to true.

The only way I found to do this is to create a config-file. But I'm hoping that there's a simpler inline-way of doing it?

@jkelstrup looking at the coa code seems that there's a way to pass a config String JSON formatted. Something like (tested and it works for me):

svgo -i test.svg -o test-out.svg --config '{ "plugins": [ { "convertColors": { "currentColor": true } }] }'

I think could be added into CLI helps.

Thanks a lot @elrumordelaluz ! This might not be the prettiest of CLI-interactions, but it does exactly what I was looking for!

I'm gonna close this issue. If others could find it useful to see this improved, I think a new issue should be opened for that.

yes @jkelstrup, absolutely agree about

might not be the prettiest

and

new issue should be opened for that.

@elrumordelaluz
Inlined json config is no longer suppored in svgo@2. What should i do?
