grunt-svgmin

Requires grunt 0.4

Grunt tasks to minify SVG using SVGO

SVG files, especially exported from various editors, usually contains a lot of redundant and useless information such as editor metadata, comments, hidden elements, default or non-optimal values and other stuff that can be safely removed or converted without affecting SVG rendering result.

Getting Started

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, install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-svgmin --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-svgmin');

Documentation

See the Gruntfile in this repo for a full example.

Example config

grunt.initConfig({
	svgmin: {											// Task
		options: {										// configuration that will be passed directly to svgo
			plugins: [{ 
				removeViewBox: false 
			}]
		},
		dist: {											// Target
			files: {									// Dictionary of files
				'dist/figure.svg': 'app/figure.svg'		// 'destination': 'source'
			}
		}
});

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-svgmin');
grunt.registerTask('default', ['svgmin']);
