Sometimes is useful to have an svg done with paths instead of elements
such as rect, circle, ellipse, line, polyline or polygon.
Like when you apply Compound Path in Adobe Illustrator.

Install

yarn add path-that-svg

Usage

String|Buffer svg

const { pathThatSvg } = require('path-that-svg')

fs.readFile('./elements.svg', (err, input) => {
  pathThatSvg(input).then((convertedFromBuffer) => {
    console.log({ convertedFromBuffer })
  })
})

pathThatSvg(`<svg viewBox="0 0 500 200">
  <rect 
    x="200" 
    y="50" 
    fill="#F16362" 
    stroke="#30456B" 
    stroke-width="5" 
    stroke-linecap="round" 
    stroke-linejoin="round" 
    width="100" height="100"/>
</svg>`).then((convertedFromString) => {
  console.log(convertedFromString)
})
