SVGO config file

3.7k views Asked by At

With svgo 1.3.2 I used to run this command :

svgo --pretty --disable={removeUnusedNS,removeUselessDefs,removeUselessStrokeAndFill} file.svg -o file.min.svg

I updated to svgo 2.3.0 and now I get :

error: unknown option '--disable={removeUnusedNS,removeUselessDefs,removeUselessStrokeAndFill}'

So I tried to create a svgo.config.js like this :

const { extendDefaultPlugins } = require('svgo');
module.exports = {
  plugins: extendDefaultPlugins([
    {
      name: 'removeUnusedNS',
      active: false
    },
    {
      name: 'removeUselessDefs',
      active: false
    },
    {
      name: 'removeUselessStrokeAndFill',
      active: false
    }
  ])
}

but I just get the error :

Error: Cannot find module 'svgo'

svgo is install (globaly)

How can I run svgo with those 3 plugins disabled using to config file (or not) ?

Thanks !

What is the output when you run svgo -v?

It is possible that you are inside a project that has an older version as a dependency which takes precedence over the global svgo package.

You can try require using the absolute path to svgo 2.3.0. For instance mine was like that require('/home/nili/.nvm/versions/node/v14.16.1/lib/node_modules/svgo');

I think it could also be in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/svgo if you installed it as root.
