PHP SVG Optimizer

php-svg-optimizer is a PHP library designed to optimize SVG files by applying various transformations and cleanup operations. The library ensures that the optimized SVG files are compliant with SVG 2.0 specifications.

The tool strives to optimize as much as possible without losing any data that could distort the image's quality, ensuring the resulting SVG remains visually identical to the original while being more efficient in terms of size and performance.

Versions & Dependencies

Requirements

• ext-dom: Required PHP extension for XML handling.
• ext-libxml: Required PHP extension for XML error handling.

Installation

To install the library, run:

Using the Library

You can use this library either as a command-line tool (CLI) or as a standalone package.

Package

To ensure robustness when using the library, it's crucial to handle exceptions, as invalid or malformed SVG files could lead to runtime errors. Catching these exceptions will allow you to manage potential issues gracefully and prevent your application from crashing.

withRules Method

Configure which SVG optimization rules to apply. The method accepts boolean parameters that determine whether specific rules should be enabled or disabled.

Parameters:

Removes <title> and <desc> tags from the SVG:

Removes all comments from the SVG:

Sorts attributes within each element:

Removes default attribute values that match common defaults:

Removes deprecated attributes from the SVG:

Removes <metadata> tags from the SVG:

Removes invisible characters from the SVG:

Flattens nested <g> elements, moving their child elements up to the parent node:

Converts rgb() color values to hexadecimal format:

Minifies coordinate values by removing unnecessary precision:

Minifies transformation attributes by removing redundant values:

Removes the SVG doctype declaration:

Removes the enable-background attribute from the SVG:

Removes empty attributes from the SVG:

Converts empty tags to self-closing tags:

Cleans up unnecessary whitespace in the SVG:

All options are set to true by default. You can configure them individually by passing the desired values to it:

optimize Method

Finalizes the optimization process and generates the optimized SVG file.

saveToFile Method

Saves the optimized SVG file to the specified path.

getContent Method

Returns the optimized SVG content.

getOptimizedSize Method

Returns the size of the optimized SVG file.

getOriginalSize Method

Returns the size of the original SVG file.

getSavedBytes Method

Returns the number of bytes saved by the optimization process.

getSavedPercentage Method

Returns the percentage of bytes saved by the optimization process.

Library Structure and Contribution Guide

The library implements the Strategy Pattern, where strategies are encapsulated as "rules" located in the /src/Services/Rules directory.

Adding a New Rule

1. Create the Rule

Create a new final class in the /src/Services/Rules directory and implement the SvgOptimizerRuleInterface. This interface will define the logic for your rule.

2. Write Tests

Write comprehensive unit tests for your rule in the /tests/Unit/Services/Rules directory. Ensure the tests cover various scenarios to verify the correct behavior and edge cases for your rule.

3. Integrate the Rule

• Register the rule in the SVG optimizer builder located at /src/Services/SvgOptimizerService.php.
• Add your rule to the rule enum in /src/Enums/Rule.php.
• Include the rule in the CLI tool by updating /src/Commands/SvgOptimizerCommand.php.

4. Update Documentation

Document the functionality and purpose of your rule in the README.md to ensure users understand its behavior and usage.

Disclaimer

Although the tool has been thoroughly tested and is built in a way that avoids risky changes, its use is at your own risk. We cannot guarantee that it will be fully compatible with all SVG files or workflows. It is highly recommended to test the tool with sample SVG files and ensure compatibility with your specific use case before using it in a production environment.
