Is there a way to get svg icon as a string while you have the .svg file with JavaScript ?
To be more clear, I need a function which does:
function svgFileToString('./icon.svg'){
...
...
return `<svg>...</svg>`
}
You can use the fetch() function. The function svgFileToString() will not return anything, but you can replace console.log(text); with whatever.
For the example I'm using a data URL to replace the real path to a file.
function svgFileToString(iconpath){
fetch(iconpath)
.then(response => response.text())
.then(text => {
console.log(text);
// do whatever
});
}
//svgFileToString('/icon.svg');
// for testing here on ST:
svgFileToString('data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI1MCIgaGVpZ2h0PSI1MCI+CiAgPHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgZmlsbD0iZ3JlZW4iIC8+Cjwvc3ZnPgo=');
