Change content of text elements in svg on a node.js server
To your cheerio-edit, you can change the text-content of the nodes with
firstNameTag.text('This is the new first-name-text');lastNameTag.text('This is the new last-name-text');And then get the string of the entire updated file with
const updatedSvg = $.html();
Side questions
When you import svg content from a file into your svg, it looks like this after import:
// svg from svgdom<svg> <defs>...</defs> // parser object, svg.js needs it <svg></svg> // imported svg <svg></svg></svg>With svg.get(2) you get back your svg instance. With the following get(8) you have your text element.
The SVG.Set you get back from select() is more or less a fancy array. svg.js has quite a good documentation at svgjs.dev where this is well explained. You can access elements of a set with get(index), first(), last().
Solution to the real question
However, what you are trying to achieve is quite easy. Just get the elements directly by ID:
SVG.get('first-name').text('New text')SVG.get('last-name').text('New text')
