SVGLength: valueAsString property
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The valueAsString property of the SVGLength interface represents the <length>'s value as a string, in the units expressed by unitType.
Setting this attribute will cause value, valueInSpecifiedUnits, and unitType to be updated automatically to reflect this setting.
Value
A string.
Examples
