Is there a nice way to convert `.svg`s to `@Composable`s?

Found it https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/18619-svg-to-compose

Is this more efficient than an svg

[tad]

Compared to what? coil-svg?

[Chris Sinco [G]]

Curious what is your use case for converting the SVGs to Composables? Theming, animation?

[xxfast]

mostly theming/localisation

[Oleksandr Balan]

I guess localisation could be solved with drawables and qualifiers, but yeah, theming I think do not work.

I was wondering recently if it is possible to create own AndroidVectorParser which will “map” ?colorPrimary (and others) attributes to used in MaterialTheme inside Compose 🤔

So that we could apply dynamic color to images https://m3.material.io/styles/color/dynamic-color/imagery

Doesn't the importer in Android studio convert from svg to a drawable-svg (or w/e its called).

[Oleksandr Balan]

Default AS importer converts SVG to vector drawables, but OP wants image vectors, such as for example Icons.Default.AccountCircle is made

[Chris Sinco [G]]

Gotcha, theming makes sense. I’m guessing then it’s tinting specific parts of an icon and not the whole thing all up?

[Chris Sinco [G]]

Yes the Studio tool only does SVG -> Vector Drawable

[Chris Sinco [G]]

But… we are exploring adding functionality to do SVG/VD -> Composable conversion. Basically shipping the same logic that builds the Material icons library into a tool in Studio

[tad]

I built a Gradle plugin to do it for our project. I can throw up a gist later

[Chris Sinco [G]]

Ohhh that would be cool to see. I can forward it to the team as well for consideration.
