JSVG

JSVG is no longer maintained. Please, use @mobilabs/svg now.

JSVG is a tiny Javascript library intended to create and manage SVG elements in the DOM. JSVG is designed to be embedded in another library.

Quick Startup

You can create an SVG node inside a div by typing:

// JSVG is built upon the prototypal pattern, you don't need the operator 'new'.
var svg = JSVG('#svg');

If you have a look to the DOM, you will see:

<div id="svg">
  <svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"></svg>
</div>

Then, you can fill your SVG node:

var svg = JSVG('#svg');
 
// Append a rectangle:
svg
  .append('rect')
  .attr('x', 100)
  .attr('y', 100)
  .attr('width', 100)
  .attr('height', 100)
;

You get:

<div id="svg">
  <svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
    <rect x="100" y="100" width="100" height="100"></rect>
  </svg>
</div>
