Syntax for embedding an SVG from code with dimensions?

[joemaller]

Shortcodes can embed registered SVGs with dimentions

For example:

[svg arrow height="20" width="24"]

will result in

<svg viewBox="0 0 25 10" width="24" height="20">...</svg>

But there's currently no way to do that from PHP without resorting to the very ugly, and presumably slow do_shortcode:

<?php echo do_shortcode( '[svg arrow height="20" width="24"]' ); ?>

I think I'd prefer to see arguments added to $SVG->embed('arrow'), probably an args object. (See also the syntax ideas for raw embeds in #19 )

This works:

$SVG->embed('arrow', ['width' => 'auto', 'height' => 48]);

Specific concern is how to use embed code from a non-query context like functions.php. Initializing the library doesn't return anything, so there's no $SVG to work with. Current workaround is to use a shortcode like this:

    $arrowSvg = do_shortcode('[svg arrow height="12" width="auto"]');
