Where is the config file?

[sbking]

The how it works page has a broken link to .svgo.yml. Where is this default config file?

[TrySound]

Sorry, docs need update. Here the list of plugins. Though it specifies order of builtin plugins. Default is set by each plugin with active field.
https://github.com/svg/svgo/blob/master/lib/svgo/config.js#L5-L55
https://github.com/svg/svgo/blob/master/plugins/addAttributesToSVGElement.js#L5

@TrySound will be nice to see the default config as a separate file. I tried to convert the old yalm config to the new format but it doesn't work as expected and I don't what I do wrong.

svgo.config.js

{
  // full: true,
  // multipass: true,
  plugins: [
    { name: 'removeDoctype' },
    { name: 'removeXMLProcInst' },
    { name: 'removeComments' },
    { name: 'removeMetadata' },
    { name: 'removeEditorsNSData' },
    { name: 'removeUselessDefs' },
    {
      name: 'sortAttrs',
      params: {
        order: [
          'id',
          'fill', 'stroke',
          'opacity',
          'style', 'class',
          'width', 'height',
          'x', 'x1', 'x2',
          'y', 'y1', 'y2',
          'cx', 'cy',
          'rx', 'ry', 'r',
          'transform',
          'marker',
          'points',
          'd',
        ]
      }
    },
    {
      // rounds numeric values to the fixed precision
      // removes default ‘px’ units
      // y="749.936002px" --> y="749.936"
      name: 'cleanupNumericValues',
      params: {
        floatPrecision: 3,
        leadingZero: true,
        defaultPx: true,
        convertToPx: false,
      }
    },
    {
      // rounds list of values to the fixed precision
      // viewBox="0 0 16px 16px" --> viewBox="0 0 16 16"
      name: 'cleanupListOfValues',
      params: {
        floatPrecision: 2,
        leadingZero: true,
        defaultPx: true,
        convertToPx: false,
      }
    },
    {
      // converts colors: rgb() to #rrggbb
      name: 'convertColors',
      params: {
        shorthex: false,
        shortname: false,
      }
    },
    { name: 'convertEllipseToCircle' },
    { name: 'removeViewBox' },
    { name: 'cleanupEnableBackground' },
    {
      // removes hidden elements (zero sized, with absent attributes)
      name: 'removeHiddenElems',
      params: {
        opacity0: false
      }
    },
    { name: 'removeEmptyText' },
    { name: 'removeEmptyAttrs' },
    { name: 'removeEmptyContainers' },
    { name: 'removeUnusedNS' },
    { name: 'removeTitle' },
    { name: 'removeDesc' },
    { name: 'cleanupAttrs' },
  ]

  // configure the indent (default 4 spaces) used by `--pretty` here:
  // @see https://github.com/svg/svgo/blob/master/lib/svgo/js2svg.js#L6 for more config options
  // js2svg: { pretty: true, indent: 1 }
}

[TrySound]

Show me please how your config looked before

[SmartFinn]

@TrySound https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/blob/master/tools/_svgo.yml

[TrySound]

Also could you show which svg files are incorrectly converted? There was a bug which broke plugins order.
Like this #1333
Fixed in 2.0.1

[TrySound]

Btw you can replace { name: 'removeDoctype' }, with 'removeDoctype'.

[SmartFinn]

@TrySound

I am already tested on 2.0.1.

Also could you show which svg files are incorrectly converted?

Any of them. Seems svgo uses the default config instead of my. At least params in sortAttrs are ignored.

I used the following command for testing with the config file above:

svgo --config=svgo.config.js --multipass --pretty --indent 1 -i nautilus@32x32.svg

Result with v2.0.1

Result with v1.3.2

If I understood correctly in 2.0.0 any {plugins: [..]} options should disable the defaults, like full: true in v1.

[TrySound]

Gotcha! module.exports = {...} is missing in svgo.config.js. In node module without exports is treated as empty object. This is why you did not get an error.

[SmartFinn]

@TrySound Excellent! This is why a separate configuration is needed for the example. I had no idea that it was necessary.

Thanks.

[TrySound]

Sure, will try to fix docs soon

[TrySound]

Please guys see #1337 and tell if you have any questions

[XhmikosR]

The problem I hit is that with the above config, doing this doesn't seem to have any effect:

  plugins: extendDefaultPlugins([
    //...
    {
      name: 'removeViewBox',
      active: false // or true I get the same result
    }
    //...
  ])

I've probably misunderstood something...

[TrySound]

@XhmikosR Please check 2.0.2. Maybe errors were swallowed.

[XhmikosR]

@TrySound thanks, I tested 2.0.2 too but the same thing happens. It turns out it was my custom script to blame and not the svgo config :)
