A Plugin that compresses SVG assets using SVGO, right when you export them.

• Download SVGO Compressor & unzip it.
• Double click SVGO Compressor.sketchplugin to install the Plugin.

Selecting menu items or hitting keys is out of fashion. SVGO Compressor will compress your SVG assets whenever you export them, without you having to do anything.

You’ll get a message on your document window to let you know the compression worked as expected.

If you need uncompressed SVG assets, you can temporarily disable the Plugin by opening Sketch’s Preferences › Plugins and unchecking 'SVGO Compressor'. Or you can right-click any layer and select Copy SVG Code, and that will give you the original, uncompressed code.

SVGO Compressor uses a default configuration that does a reasonable job of compressing SVG code, while maintaining compatibility and avoiding rendering issues. If you need to change the defaults, you can do so by creating an svgo.config.js file in Sketch's Plugins directory (located by default in ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.bohemiancoding.sketch3/Plugins/).

For a complete reference of what your SVGO config should look like, see SVGO’s configuration documentation.

Any option that is not set on your custom configuration will use the defaults set by SVGO Compressor. For example, here's how a sample configuration to output unminified code could look like:

module.exports = { js2svg: { indent: 2, pretty: true, } }

Again, for more information about custom configurations please refer to SVGO's own documentation. Please note that the custom plugins feature is untested in SVGO Compressor, so it may or may not work.

We would like to thank:

• The SVGO project, for creating the golden standard for SVG compression.
• Andrey Shakhmin, for his inspiration during the Hamburg Hackathon, where he showed us how to use node modules inside Sketch.

This plugin is built using skpm. To build it, just run
