A node lib to convert svg shape elements into path svg elements.
npm install convertpath
convertpath has a plugin-based architecture, so almost every optimization is a separate plugin.
Today we have:
| Plugin | Description |
|---|---|
| convertUseToGroup | convert defs and symbol elements into group svg elements. |
| convertShapeToPath | convert svg shape elements into path svg elements. |
| removeGroups | move some group and move some group attributes to the contained elements |
| convertTransfromforPath | remove transform attribute and convert path data to relative |
| removeGradient | remove gradient if reference via url('#id') |
| viewBoxTransform | remove width/height attributes and reset ViewBox |
const SVGParser = require('convertpath')
const parse = SVGParser.parse('./test/test.svg', {

const result = parse.toSimpleSvg()
console.log(result)
const paths = parse.getPathAttributes()
console.log(paths)
/**
* '<circle cx="500" cy="500" r="20" fill="red"/>'
*/
console.log(parse.toSimpleSvg())
/**
