React is such a nice way to make SVGs generally. My team was building a microservices to generate our dynamic images, then had the realization: our frontend is React, and we can make these images client-side as inline SVGs (or server side if we need using the same code). There's some browser compatibility issues we have to stay on top of, but overall it's been a blast.

I just started doing this for a project at work. It works amazingly well. I ended building a react designer to handle loading and creating new elements so that we can create images on the web versus converting an existing SVG from an illistrator file.

I'm curious: what's the main use-case for this functionality? Particularly given it's a lossy transformation, I can't think of any situation where I'd use this.

seems to just change double quotes to single. find and replace. I don't notice any other difference.

oh, noticed `0.5` turn into `.5` and `black` turn into `#000`. not sure how that will make it more JSX compatible

That's for minimizing code size. In both of your examples one byte is shaved off.

Arguably this is a case of premature optimization though. For production, the Closure compiler will do a far better job at it. For development, you won't notice the difference of shaving off a few kilobytes.

React supports these SVG attributes:

Anything else needs to be stripped out - mostly stuff like meta data with ":" in the tag.

hey lucideer, I think it's usefull when you had to work with SVG sprites + React.

Converts the attributes not supported in React (xlink:href, fill-rule, etc.) to valid React attributes and also in case you have inline styles (eg. style="margin-left:20px") this tool will generate a Javascript object from that style ({marginLeft: 20}), which is valid React inline style.

Also, I think it's super usefull in case you had to use an inline SVG exported from Sketch or AI
