ShapeToPath.js

What id does?

• It transforms an svg shape element (line, rect, circle, ellipse) into a path or an SVG path element.

• It uses pre-defined path templates using the elements attributes to generate the appropreate path.

Usage:

---

shapeToPath(Element): String

Description : It is used to generate a String path from the given shape.`

Example:

import { shapeToPath } from "ShapeToPath"

const rect = document.querySelector("rect")
let rectPath = shapeToPath(rect)
console.log(rectPath)

---

shapeToPathElement(Element): SVGPathElement

Description : It is used to generate an SVG path Element from the given shape that has the same attributes and has the new generated SVG path.`

Example:

import { shapeToPathElement } from "ShapeToPath"

const rectShapeElement = document.querySelector("rect")
let rectPathElement = shapeToPathElement(rect)
console.log(rectPathElement)

---

getPath(shape:String, attributes:Object ): String

Description : It generates a path without needing to pass an element, it takes the shape type as a String and the required attributes and generates a path.`

import { getPath } from "ShapeToPath"

let path = getPath("rect",{
