## Installation
Run the following command from the root of your project:
`ns plugin add @nativescript-community/ui-svg`
### NativeScript + Vue
```ts
import SVGPlugin from '@nativescript-community/ui-svg/vue';
Vue.use(SVGPlugin);
// or if you want the canvas version
import CanvasSVGPlugin from '@nativescript-community/ui-svg/vue/canvas';
Vue.use(CanvasSVGPlugin);
```
For other flavors you need to register the components directly:
```ts
import { SVGView } from '@nativescript-community/ui-svg';
import { CanvasSVG, SVG } from '@nativescript-community/ui-svg/canvas';
```
It works in 3 ways!.
`CanvasSVG` extending `Canvas`
```html
```
or `SVGView` which is a basic svg view with support for auto sizing
```html
```
Or within and Canvas View extending `CanvasView` like `CanvasLabel`
```html
```
### NativeScript + Svelte
```ts
// app/app.ts
import { registerNativeViewElement } from 'svelte-native/dom';
registerNativeViewElement('svgView', () => require('@nativescript-community/ui-svg').SVGView);
```
```svelte
```
### Examples:
- [Basic](demo-snippets/vue/SVG.vue)
- A basic SVG example

## Demos and Development
### Repo Setup
The repo uses submodules. If you did not clone with ` --recursive` then you need to call
```
git submodule update --init
```
The package manager used to install and link dependencies must be `pnpm` or `yarn`. `npm` wont work.
To develop and test:
if you use `yarn` then run `yarn`
if you use `pnpm` then run `pnpm i`
**Interactive Menu:**
To start the interactive menu, run `npm start` (or `yarn start` or `pnpm start`). This will list all of the commonly used scripts.
### Build
```bash
npm run build.all
```
WARNING: it seems `yarn build.all` wont always work (not finding binaries in `node_modules/.bin`) which is why the doc explicitly uses `npm run`
### Demos
```bash
npm run demo.[ng|react|svelte|vue].[ios|android]
npm run demo.svelte.ios # Example
```
Demo setup is a bit special in the sense that if you want to modify/add demos you dont work directly in `demo-[ng|react|svelte|vue]`
Instead you work in `demo-snippets/[ng|react|svelte|vue]`
You can start from the `install.ts` of each flavor to see how to register new demos

## Contributing
### Update repo
You can update the repo files quite easily
First update the submodules
```bash
npm run update
```
Then commit the changes
Then update common files
```bash
npm run sync
```
Then you can run `yarn|pnpm`, commit changed files if any
### Update readme
```bash
npm run readme
```
### Update doc
```bash
npm run doc
```
### Publish
The publishing is completely handled by `lerna` (you can add `-- --bump major` to force a major release)
Simply run
```shell
npm run publish
```
### modifying submodules
The repo uses https:// for submodules which means you won't be able to push directly into the submodules.
One easy solution is t modify `~/.gitconfig` and add
```
[url "ssh://git@github.com/"]
pushInsteadOf = https://github.com/
```
