splitSVGDefs()

This function is part of Iconify Utils package.

Function splitSVGDefs() splits SVG body in contents of <defs> and other content.

This function is used by wrapSVGContent() to wrap icon content, which is used by iconToSVG() to apply flip and rotation to icon, by buildParsedSVG() and convertParsedSVG() to move presentational attributes from <svg> element to a group element.

Usage

This function has the following parameter:

• content, string. Icon content.

This function returns an object with 2 properties:

• defs, string. Contents of <defs> element(s).
• content, string. The rest of icon.

To merge back definitions and content, use mergeDefsAndContent().

Example

example.ts

tsimport type { IconifyIcon } from '@iconify/types';
import { splitSVGDefs, mergeDefsAndContent, wrapSVGContent } from '@iconify/utils';

// Source icon, which contains definitions block
// This code works for icons without definitions block too, so no need to check if an icon actually has <defs>
const icon: IconifyIcon = {
