## 🍩 Features
Here's some of useful features:
- <a href="https://svgjar-demo.web.app" target="_blank">Visual workflow</a> to find and use SVGs the fastest way possible
- Automatic SVG optimization (it can cut file size by half or more)
- Easy to use helper `{{svg-jar "asset-name"}}`
- Support for both `inline` and `symbol` embedding methods
- Copy SVG as CSS background
- Zero configuration
## 👋 Getting started
**Installation**
`$ ember install ember-svg-jar`
**Start in 3 easy steps**
- 1️⃣ Drop some SVG images to the `public` directory (e.g. [material-design-icons](https://github.com/google/material-design-icons))
- 2️⃣ Open the [asset viewer](http://localhost:4200/ember-svg-jar/index.html) and select any icon you like
- 3️⃣ Copy the helper code from the viewer and paste it to your template
## 🎮 Usage
Place your SVG images to the `public` directory (e.g. `./public/images/my-icon.svg`). Then copy the helper code for your image from the [asset viewer](http://localhost:4200/ember-svg-jar/index.html) or just write it by hand like this: `{{svg-jar "my-icon"}}`.
The viewer is available at: <a href="http://localhost:4200/ember-svg-jar/index.html" target="_blank">http://localhost:4200/ember-svg-jar/index.html</a>
If your `rootURL` is not `/`, then to use the asset viewer you will need to add `rootURL` to the addon [config](https://github.com/voltidev/ember-svg-jar/blob/master/docs/configuration.md#global-options).
### Helper
Use the `svg-jar` helper to embed SVG images to your application's templates.
For the default `inline` embedding strategy you can write:
```handlebars
{{svg-jar 'my-cool-icon' class='icon' width='24px'}}
```
The helper takes an asset ID and optional attributes that will be added to the created SVG element. The example above will create an SVG like this:
```handlebars
<svg class='icon' width='24px'>...</svg>
```
For the `symbol` strategy you will need to add `#` to the asset ID like this:
```handlebars
{{svg-jar '#my-cool-icon'}}
```
In this case the result can look like this:
```handlebars
<svg><use xlink:href='#my-cool-icon'></use></svg>
```
### Accessibility
Pass `title`, `desc`, and `role` as properties to the helper in order to include accessible elements or attributes. `aria-labelledby` will be automatically added and point to `title` and/or `desc` if they are included.
Writing this:
```handlebars
{{svg-jar 'my-cool-icon' role='img' title='Icon' desc='A very cool icon'}}
```
Will create an SVG that looks like this:
```handlebars
<svg role="img" aria-labelledby="title desc">
<title id="title">Icon</title>
<desc id="desc">A very cool icon<desc>
</svg>
```
### Assets from Node modules
By default `ember-svg-jar` looks for SVGs in the `public` directory. To get SVGs from `node_modules` packages or any other directory you will need to add them to `ember-cli-build.js` like this:
```js
var app = new EmberApp(defaults, {
svgJar: {
sourceDirs: [
'node_modules/material-design-icons/file/svg/design',
'node_modules/material-design-icons/action/svg/design',
'public/images/icons',
],
},
});
```

### Usage in an addon
Using `ember-svg-jar` in an addon is the same as in an app, except that in the `package.json`
of the addon, it should be listed as one of the `dependencies` and not `devDependencies`.
## 🔧 Configuration
The addon should be useful without any configuration. But it wants to be very configurable when it's time to adjust it for your needs.

- [Advanced usage examples](docs/examples.md)
## ❓ FAQ
**Q:** `Will the asset viewer affect my production build size?`
**A:** No, it won't at all. The asset viewer is included in development mode only.
**Q:** `Can it find SVG icons outside of the public directory, e.g. from node_modules?`
**A:** Yes, it can import SVGs from any directory defined in the sourceDirs array.
**Q:** `Why the SVG files deployed into the dist/assets folder without being fingerprinted?`
**A:** This is done with the default ember cli behaviour. For more information see [SVG Fingerprinting](docs/svg-fingerprinting.md).
**Q:** `Why does this matter?`
- [Why GitHub switched from an icon font to SVG](https://github.com/blog/2112-delivering-octicons-with-svg)
- ["Inline SVG vs icon fonts" from css-tricks](https://css-tricks.com/icon-fonts-vs-svg/)
- [Ten reasons to switch from an icon font to SVG](http://ianfeather.co.uk/ten-reasons-we-switched-from-an-icon-font-to-svg/)
**Q:** `Why would you switch from Font Awesome to SVG?`
- original Font Awesome is about `149 KB` as TTF and `88.3 KB` as WOFF
- it includes `634` icons and you need just some of them usually
- 20 Font Awesome icons in SVGJar will be about 4.3 KB (you save `84 KB` or `145 KB` as TTF)
- 50 Font Awesome icons in SVGJar will be about `9 KB`
You can get Font Awesome icons as individual SVG files from [font-awesome-svg](https://github.com/voltidev/font-awesome-svg).
