Add option to leave / modify ID attribute (should they exist)
🚀 Feature Proposal
Some SVG files contain tags with ID attributes on them, and it appears SVGR is setup to remove this attribute. I imagine the reason for this is because you don't want to populate the DOM with a bunch of IDs, as that could conflict with already existing IDs outside of the SVG.
My proposal is to implement an option where these ID attributes persist, but have the parser append svgr-
to the front of the original ID value (ex. my-special-id
becomes svgr-my-special-id
).
Motivation
I am trying to make interactive SVGs for an HTML product manual. The SVG contains certain objects which I would like to have onClick events and animate when hovered. The SVG I am working with is generated by the graphic design software "Affinity Designer", which inserts IDs into the exported SVGs whenever there is a label associated with a visual element. Using these IDs, I was going to easily be able to track down which parts of the SVGR generated SVG to attack onClick event handlers, either by searching the DOM for particular IDs or manually adding the event into the SVG tags.
Example
The below example is a snippet from the SVG I am working with. One tag has ID="Select"
, which I would like to target with a javascript onClick event handler.
<g id="Select">
<g transform="matrix(3.25844,0,0,3.26642,-1621.8,547.257)">
<text x="1464px" y="259.1px" style="font-family:'ArialMT', 'Arial', sans-serif;font-size:5px;fill:rgb(250,250,250);">SELECT</text>
</g>
</g>
Pitch
Seems like a great addition to the already expansive set of configurable options!
