# NPM
npm i @twilio-labs/svg-to-react --save-dev

Usage

CLI

Follow the on-screen instructions after running

yarn build
yarn convert

NodeJS

const fs = require('fs');
const {convertSvgToReact} = require('@twilio-labs/svg-to-react');

fs.readFile(`path/to/file`, 'utf8', async (err, fileContents) => {
    // TODO: Handle error case here

    // Convert the SVG into our ideal format
    // Arguments: SVG Contents, Options
    const generatedComponent = await convertSvgToReact(fileContents, {useHooks: false});

    fs.writeFile(`path/to/output/file`, generatedComponent, 'utf8', err => {
        // TODO: Handle error case here
    });
});

Options

option name	type	details
useHooks	boolean	Whether to use 'hooks', a feature only available in React 16.7+
template	function	Allows you to pass your own template function.

Dependencies

The generated React component depends on react-uid for accessibility by default. We recommend this library for unique ID generation to satisfy accessibility needs. You can avoid this dependency by providing a custom template.
