svgr: Transform all SVG files from a directory to React components into a specific directory skipping already transformed files.
$ svgr --out-dir ${path-to-output_directory} --ignore-existing ${path-to-input_directory}
try on your machine

This command executes the "svgr" command-line tool to convert SVG files in the input directory and outputs them to the specified output directory.

Let's break down the command:

  • svgr: This is the command to run the "svgr" tool. "svgr" is a popular tool used to transform SVG files into React components.

  • --out-dir ${path-to-output_directory}: This flag is used to specify the output directory where the converted files will be saved. You need to replace ${path-to-output_directory} with the actual path to your desired output directory.

  • --ignore-existing: This flag tells the tool to ignore any existing files in the output directory with the same name as the source SVG files. It ensures that the command doesn't overwrite any existing files.

  • ${path-to-input_directory}: This is the path to the input directory containing the SVG files you want to convert. You need to replace ${path-to-input_directory} with the actual path to your input directory.

In summary, this command will use "svgr" to convert SVG files from the specified input directory. The converted React components will be saved in the specified output directory, ignoring any existing files with the same name.
