Usage
JavaScript
.svg
Parameters
This function does not accept any parameters. Is this incorrect?
Examples
HTML
<img class="svg" src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/assets/img/logo.svg" />
Demo
Additional Notes
Notice that once the SVG in the demo is replaced it is possible to programmatically control the fill color (and change it on hover). <img> tags that call SVG images are not able to do that.
Exporting SVGs from Adobe Illustrator
It is recommended to export SVG images using the following settings, and then run them through SVGOMG. This will prevent conflicts in selectors when multiple SVGs are on a page! It is also strongly recommended to also save out an optimized transparent .png file at the same size.

JavaScript
nebula.svgImgs = async function(){
jQuery('img.svg').each(function(){
let oThis = jQuery(this);
if ( oThis.attr('src').includes('.svg') ){ //If the src has a .svg extension
fetch(oThis.attr('src'), {
method: 'GET',
}).then(function(response){
if ( response.ok ){
return response.text();
}
}).then(function(data){
let theSVG = jQuery(data); //Get the SVG tag, ignore the rest
theSVG = theSVG.attr('id', oThis.attr('id')); //Add replaced image's ID to the new SVG
theSVG = theSVG.attr('class', oThis.attr('class') + ' replaced-svg'); //Add replaced image's classes to the new SVG
theSVG = theSVG.attr('role', 'img');
theSVG = theSVG.attr('alt', nebula.sanitize(oThis.attr('alt'))); //An SVG with a role of img must include an alt attribute
theSVG = theSVG.attr('aria-label', nebula.sanitize(oThis.attr('alt'))); //Add an aria-label attribute as well
theSVG = theSVG.attr('data-originalsrc', oThis.attr('src')); //Add an attribute of the original SVG location
theSVG = theSVG.removeAttr('xmlns:a'); //Remove invalid XML tags
oThis.replaceWith(theSVG); //Replace image with new SVG
//Use the alt attribute as a title tag within the SVG (title must be the first tag inside the <svg>) as well
if ( oThis.attr('alt') ){
theSVG.prepend('<title>' + nebula.sanitize(oThis.attr('alt')) + '</title>'); //Sanitized to prevent XSS
}
//Move the title attribute to the description element within the SVG
if ( oThis.attr('title') ){
theSVG.prepend('<description>' + nebula.sanitize(oThis.attr('title')) + '</description>'); //Sanitized to prevent XSS
}
});
}
});
