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

## Demo

### [Try SVG-edit here](https://svg-edit.github.io/svgedit/releases/latest/editor/svg-editor.html)

See the [latest release](https://svg-edit.github.io/svgedit/releases/latest/editor/svg-editor.html)
(or its [ES6-Module](https://svg-edit.github.io/svgedit/releases/latest/editor/svg-editor.html) version, which requires a modern browser).

You may also try it at <https://unpkg.com/svgedit/editor/svg-editor.html>.

Also available as a download in [releases](https://github.com/SVG-Edit/svgedit/releases).

For testing the latest version in `master`, you may use
<https://raw.githack.com/SVG-Edit/svgedit/master/editor/svg-editor.html>.

## Installation

### Quick install

1. Clone or copy the repository contents (at least the `editor` directory).
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
<iframe src="svgedit/editor/svg-editor.html?extensions=" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>
```

### 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.

1. Create your npm package: `npm init` (complete the fields).
1. Install SVG-edit into your package:
  `npm i svgedit`.
1. Look within `node_modules/svgedit/`, e.g., `node_modules/svgedit/editor/svg-editor.html`
  for the files your package needs and use accordingly.
1. `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 `node_modules/svgedit` directory to
      install the build tools for SVG-edit.
    1. Run `npm run build-config` within the `node_modules/svgedit` directory.
      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`.
