Imageoptim svgo options

#1

Is there any way to configure the options of svgo on middleman-imageoptim?

Example: I want to keep IDs of the SVG symbols.

Thanks!

Middleman ImageOptim just invokes image_optim, which in turn invokes SVGO. This means that the options must be handed off in three places:

  1. From you to Middleman ImageOptim:

    This part is ready to go, e.g.:

    activate :imageoptim do |options|
  options.svgo = { disable: ['cleanupIDs'] }
end

  2. From Middleman ImageOptim to image_optim:

    The chain breaks here, as image_optim doesn’t yet offer any options for configuring SVGO.

  3. From image_optim to SVGO:

    Right now image_optim always runs SVGO with the same two command-line arguments, but it doesn’t have to. SVGO offers a way to disable individual plugins, e.g.:

    svgo --disable cleanupIDs --input $src --output $dst

So it should just be a matter of teaching image_optim how to configure SVGO.

I’d recommend opening a polite issue to ask about this, and be sure to reference toy/image_optim#30 so that the author of image_optim’s support for SVGO has a chance to provide input.
