svg-to-dataurl

😹 convert SVGs to DataURLs

Install

$ yarn add svg-to-dataurl

Usage

Where svgStr is a string of SVG content, like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
		<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" fill="red" />
</svg>

You can convert the string to a DataURL with svgToDataURL():

const svgToDataURL = require('svg-to-dataurl')
const dataUrl = svgToDataURL(svgStr)

console.log(dataUrl)
// data:image/svg+xml,%3C%3Fxml%20version%3D%221.0%22%20encoding%3D%22utf-8%22%3F%3E%3Csvg%20version%3D%221.1%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Ccircle%20cx%3D%2250%22%20cy%3D%2250%22%20r%3D%2240%22%20stroke%3D%22black%22%20stroke-width%3D%223%22%20fill%3D%22red%22%20%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E
