SVG

Tools for caching and serving SVGs for Phoenix.
Installation
Add to your mix.exs
as usual:
def deps do
[{:svg, "~> 1.0.0"}]
end
If you’re not using application inference, then add :svg
to your applications
list.
Then configure it in your config.exs
:
config :svg, otp_app: :my_app # Replace :my_app
Using base64 encoded SVGs at runtime
Run the background server:
defmodule YourApp do
use Application
def start(_type, _args) do
import Supervisor.Spec
children = [
# .. Ecto, Repo, etc.
worker(SVG.Server, [])
]
# ...
end
end
The server will build up cache when the main application starts. It will concurrently read all svgs in your priv/static/images
folder and cache them in memory. You can then use the base64 encoded svgs like so:
<img src="<%=raw SVG.Server.get("icons/add") %>">
Where icons/add
corresponds to priv/static/images/icons/add.svg
on the filesystem. You may want to alias the server when using in templates:
alias SVG.Server, as: SVG
and then you can use SVG.get/1
directly.
Utility functions
See docs for functions available on the main SVG module.
