Graphery SVG (gySVG): An introduction
Blog post from LogRocket
Graphery SVG, or gySVG, is a compact and efficient JavaScript library designed to facilitate the creation and manipulation of SVG graphics, compatible with Vanilla JavaScript and frameworks like React, Vue, and Angular. Unlike previous SVG libraries, gySVG aims to reduce code complexity and improve performance, offering a library size of 1.5 KB and faster execution speed. It simplifies SVG creation through intuitive methods that align with SVG DOM attributes and properties, making it easier to produce both basic and complex graphics. The library utilizes ES6 proxies to create dynamic wrappers for SVG elements, ensuring a smaller library size while maintaining high performance, although it lacks support for Internet Explorer 11. Developers can start using gySVG by loading it from a CDN or installing it via npm, and it supports advanced features like gradients, patterns, and animations for more dynamic SVG elements.
