# [postcss][postcss]-svgo [][ci] [][npm] [][deps] > Optimise inline SVG with PostCSS. ## Install With [npm](https://npmjs.org/package/postcss-svgo) do: ``` npm install postcss-svgo --save ``` ## Example ### Input ```css h1 { background: url('data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"><svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:space="preserve"><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" fill="yellow" /></svg>'); } ``` ### Output ```css h1 { background: url('data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" fill="%23ff0"/></svg>'); } ``` ## API ### `svgo([options])` Note that postcss-svgo is an *asynchronous* processor. It cannot be used like this: ```js var result = postcss([ svgo() ]).process(css).css; console.log(result); ``` Instead make sure your PostCSS runner uses the asynchronous API: ```js postcss([ svgo() ]).process(css).then(function (result) { console.log(result.css); }); ``` #### options ##### encode Type: `boolean` Default: `undefined` If `true`, it will encode URL-unsafe characters such as `<`, `>` and `&`; `false` will decode these characters, and `undefined` will neither encode nor decode the original input. Note that regardless of this setting, `#` will always be URL-encoded. ##### plugins Optionally, you can customise the output by specifying the `plugins` option. You will need to provide the config in comma separated objects, like the example below. Note that you can either disable the plugin by setting it to `false`, or pass different options to change the default behaviour. ```js var postcss = require('postcss'); var svgo = require('postcss-svgo'); var opts = { plugins: [{ removeDoctype: false }, { removeComments: false }, { cleanupNumericValues: { floatPrecision: 2 } }, { convertColors: { names2hex: false, rgb2hex: false } }] }; postcss([ svgo(opts) ]).process(css).then(function (result) { console.log(result.css) }); ``` You can view the [full list of plugins here][plugins]. ## Usage See the [PostCSS documentation](https://github.com/postcss/postcss#usage) for examples for your environment. ## Contributors Thanks goes to these wonderful people ([emoji key](https://github.com/kentcdodds/all-contributors#emoji-key)): <!-- ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-LIST:START - Do not remove or modify this section --> | [<img src="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1282980?v=3" width="100px;"/><br /><sub>Ben Briggs</sub>](http://beneb.info)<br />[๐ป](https://github.com/ben-eb/postcss-svgo/commits?author=ben-eb) [๐](https://github.com/ben-eb/postcss-svgo/commits?author=ben-eb) ๐ [โ ๏ธ](https://github.com/ben-eb/postcss-svgo/commits?author=ben-eb) | [<img src="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/7263665?v=3" width="100px;"/><br /><sub>Sebastian Misch</sub>](https://sebastian-misch.de)<br />[๐ป](https://github.com/ben-eb/postcss-svgo/commits?author=sbstnmsch) [โ ๏ธ](https://github.com/ben-eb/postcss-svgo/commits?author=sbstnmsch) | [<img src="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/11319202?v=3" width="100px;"/><br /><sub>ะััะตัะปะฐะฒ ะััะตะฝะบะพ</sub>](https://github.com/ophyros)<br />[๐ป](https://github.com/ben-eb/postcss-svgo/commits?author=ophyros) [โ ๏ธ](https://github.com/ben-eb/postcss-svgo/commits?author=ophyros) | [<img src="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1131567?v=3" width="100px;"/><br /><sub>shinnn</sub>](https://shinnn.github.io)<br />[๐ป](https://github.com/ben-eb/postcss-svgo/commits?author=shinnn) | [<img src="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/45338?v=3" width="100px;"/><br /><sub>Jung-gun Lim</sub>](https://github.com/j6lim)<br />[๐](https://github.com/ben-eb/postcss-svgo/issues?q=author%3Aj6lim) | [<img src="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5635476?v=3" width="100px;"/><br /><sub>Bogdan Chadkin</sub>](https://github.com/TrySound)<br />[๐ป](https://github.com/ben-eb/postcss-svgo/commits?author=TrySound) ๐ [โ ๏ธ](https://github.com/ben-eb/postcss-svgo/commits?author=TrySound) | [<img src="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/368561?v=3" width="100px;"/><br /><sub>Piotr Walczyszyn</sub>](http://outof.me)<br />[๐](https://github.com/ben-eb/postcss-svgo/issues?q=author%3Apwalczyszyn) | | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | <!-- ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-LIST:END --> This project follows the [all-contributors] specification.
