SVG-edit is a fast, web-based, JavaScript-driven SVG drawing editor that
works in any modern browser.

## Help wanted
We need more maintainers for SVG-Edit
## Demo
### [Try SVG-edit here](https://svgedit.netlify.app/editor/index.html)
Thanks to netlify, you can test the following builds:
[Try SVG-edit 5.1.0 here](https://6098683962bf91702907ee33--svgedit.netlify.app/editor/svg-editor.html)
[Try SVG-edit 6.1.0 here](https://60a0000fc9900b0008fd268d--svgedit.netlify.app/editor/index.html)
/
## Installation
### Quick install
1. Clone or copy the repository contents (at least the `editor` directory).
Please note that you should not do a recursive Git clone (i.e., with the
`--recursive` or `--recurse-submodules` flags), as you will get assorted
past versions (which are available on the parent as branches anyways).
(The reason these past versions are available as submodules is merely
for convenience in hosting these versions, along with `master`, online
on Github Pages.)
1. If you need programmatic customization, see its section below.
1. Otherwise, just add an iframe to your site, adding any extensions or
configuration (see `docs/tutorials/ConfigOptions.md`
([ConfigOptions]{@tutorial ConfigOptions})) within the URL:
```html
```
### Integrating SVG-edit into your own npm package
These steps are only needed if you wish to set up your own npm package
incorporating SVGEdit. You will need to have Node.js/npm installed.
1. Create and enter an empty folder somewhere on your desktop.
1. Create your npm package: `npm init` (complete the fields).
1. Install SVG-edit into your package:
`npm i --save svgedit`.
1. Look within `node_modules/svgedit/`, e.g., `node_modules/svgedit/src/editor/svg-editor.html`
for the files your package needs and use accordingly (from outside of
`node_modules`).
1. If you want to publish your own work, you can use `npm publish`.
## Programmatic customization
1. If you are not concerned about supporting ES6 Modules (see the
"ES6 Modules file" section), you can add your config directly to
`svgedit-config-iife.js` within the SVG-Edit project root.
1. Note: Do not remove the `import svgEditor...` code which is responsible
for importing the SVG edit code. Versions prior to 3.0 did not require
this, but the advantage is that your HTML does not need to be polluted
with extra script references.
1. Modify or utilize any options. See `docs/tutorials/ConfigOptions.md`
([ConfigOptions]{@tutorial ConfigOptions}).
## ES6 Modules file
1. `svg-editor-es.html` is an HTML file directly using ES6 modules.
It is only supported in the latest browsers. It is probably mostly
useful for debugging, as it requires more network requests.
If you would like to work with this file, you should make configuration
changes in `svgedit-config-es.js` (in the SVG-Edit project root).
1. If you are working with the ES6 Modules config but also wish to work with
the normal `svg-editor.html` version (so your code can work in older
browsers or get the presumable performance benefits of this file which
references JavaScript rolled up into a single file), you can follow these
steps after any config changes you make, so that your changes can also be
automatically made available to both versions.
1. JavaScript:
1. Run `npm install` within the svgedit directory
(`node_modules/svgedit` if you installed via npm) and the root
repository directory if you cloned the Git repository instead.
This will install the build tools for SVG-edit.
1. Run `npm run build-by-config` within the svgedit directory mentioned
in the step above.
1. This will rebuild `svgedit-config-iife.js` (applying Babel to
allow it to work on older browsers and applying Rollup to build
all JavaScript into one file). The file will then contain
non-ES6 module JavaScript that can work in older browsers.
Note that it bundles all of SVGEdit, so it is to be expected
that this file will be much larger in size than the original
ES6 config file.
1. HTML:
1. If you wish to make changes to both HTML files, it is recommended that
you work and test on `svg-editor-es.html` and then run
`npm run build-html` to have the changes properly copied to
`svg-editor.html`.
