svg_fallback
Generates SVG library and PNG+CSS fallback.
Save your time and enjoy SVG : )
Plugin takes folders with SVG and generates:
- SVG-library for using with
<use xlink:href="#symbolName"/>
- Fallback for old browsers: sprite + CSS.
Getting Started
This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5
If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
npm install svg_fallback --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt;
The "svg_fallback" task
Overview
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named svg_fallback
to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig()
.
grunt;
Required options:
your_target.src
Type: String
Folder with folders containing icons. Folder name is used as a prefix for icons and name for sprites and stylesheets.
your_target.dest
Type: String
Folder for created content.
Optional:
You can redefine options of spritesmith, for example:
options.algorithm
Type: String
Default value: binary-tree
options.padding
Type: String
Default value: 10
List of spritesmith options is here: npmjs.org/package/spritesmith
options.svgclass
Type: String
Custom class for SVG element
options.svgstyle
Type: String
Custom style
for SVG element
options.usei8class
Type: Bool
Default value: false
Set true
if you need .ie8
class only, without universal fallback for the most of old browsers
options.movestyles
Type: Bool
Default value: false
Set true
if you need to move the content of embedded <style>
tags to the icon's files, prefixed with their IDs, so there won't be conflicts for different icons.
Usage Examples
Default:
grunt;
If you need to redefine options for spritesmith, place it to section options
:
svg_fallback: options: algorithm: 'binary-tree' padding: 10 your_target: src: 'sources/' dest: 'result/'
If you need to test intermediate results, add option debug
:
svg_fallback: options: debug: true your_target: src: 'sources/' dest: 'result/'
and folder temp will not be removed.
Color and resize your icons
It works for transparent svg only.
You can add config.json to folder with icons and define preffered changes of initial svg-files.
Example of config:
// default color for all svg-images, OPTIONAL "color": "orangered" // set list of default sizes if you need to resize initial svg-images, OPTIONAL "default-sizes": // set size for particular icon "arrow-up": // set width or height "width": "182" "home": "height": "42" // set list of modifications, OPTIONAL. // List is used for creating files modificatios before it turns to PNG-sprite "icons": "arrow-up": "width": "50" "color": "green" "width": "150" "color": "steelblue" "home": "width": "150" "width": "170" "color": "teal" "height": "62" "color": "yellowgreen"
You can use any part of config or not use it at all.
For input, output and config examples feel free to look into test folder.
