is there a way to ignore svgs that have already been converted in a directory? about svgr

[sonaye]

This is what I do:

• I copy any new svgs to src/assets/svg/new.
• I run yarn svgr.
• New svgs are moved to src/assets/svg.
• Created components are placed in src/components/svg.

"svgr": "svgr src/assets/svg/new --out-dir src/components/svg",
"postsvgr": "yarn svgr:sync",
"svgr:sync": "rsync -r src/assets/svg/new/. src/assets/svg",
"postsvgr:sync": "rm -rf src/assets/svg/new && mkdir src/assets/svg/new",

@sonaye yes of course, we have to fix that.

There is no way to do it out of the box, but I suggest you to convert all svg to a temporary directory, then copy only new files. You can do it using rsync --ignore-existing. So your script will be:

svgr -d icons temp-icons && rsync --ignore-existing temp-icons icons`

I probably missed some rsync options but this is the idea.

Does it solve your problem?

Sorry I think i miscommunicated a little...I get the svgs from invision but download them as static files into the project tree rather than retrieve them from a host. Dont know much about rsync but I dont think that helps me in this case?

[gregberge]

Yes, so you download them, place it in "svg-folder" then you edit them if you want, then you run "svgr + rsync".

@CammyMurrie does it solve your problem?

[gregberge]

I think we could add this feature in SVGR now. I reopen it!

@neoziro Awesome, I am guessing this would require improvements on the config file. Can we add support for outDir and templatePath there too? outDir seems to not work at all from the config file, as for template, it currently only accepts a function.

See #182.
