Is there a way to change the colors of an svg image using Javascript? Perhaps by loading it as an object and accessing the color/image data?
I would greatly appreciate any responses or tips on this matter!

Of course, I can provide you with an example (excluding the standard HTML boilerplate):
<svg id="svg1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" style="width: 3in; height: 1.5in">
<rect id="rectangle1" width="50" height="20" x="10" y="10"
style="fill: green; stroke: black; stroke-width: 1"/>
</svg>
<button onclick="rectangle1.style.fill='blue';">Click to change to blue</button>This specific code pertains to manipulating an <object> tag containing an SVG image with a class name of .svgClass
<object class="svgClass" type="image/svg+xml" data="image.svg"></object>
The JavaScript code required for this task is outlined below:
// change to blue
document.querySelector(".svgClass").getSVGDocument().getElementById("svgInternalID").setAttribute("fill", "blue")
In order to modify the svgInternalID, you will need to access the SVG file directly, typically saved as a plain text file such as image.svg, and make the necessary edits:
<path id="svgInternalID"
Imagine you have this SVG:
<div id="main">
<svg id="octocat" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="400px" height="400px" viewBox="-60 0 420 330" style="fill:#fff;stroke: #000; stroke-opacity: 0.1">

If you use jQuery, you can customize the coloring like this:
var _currentFill = "#f00"; // red
$svg = $("#octocat");
$("#face", $svg).attr('style', "fill:" + _currentFill); })
I also created an interactive coloring book demo for another question on Stack Overflow: http://bl.ocks.org/4545199. It has been tested on Safari, Chrome, and Firefox.
If you want to change the background color, use the fill property like this:
svgElement.style.fill = '#fff';
To set the border color, do the same with the stroke property.
Here's how you can see it in action:
const svgElement = document.getElementById('svg')
const checkboxElement = document.getElementById('check')
checkboxElement.addEventListener('change', e => {
svgElement.style.fill = e.target.checked ? 'PeachPuff' : 'PapayaWhip'
})<input type="checkbox" id="check" />
<svg id="svg" fill="AliceBlue">
<circle r="50" cx="70" cy="70" />
</svg>For more capabilities and information on SVG, please check out the W3C reference on SVG.
Check out this detailed example that demonstrates how to change the fill color of an svg that is embedded using <embed>, <object>, and <iframe>.
For more information, visit How to apply a style to an embedded SVG?
To style your SVG with CSS, it must be embedded directly into your document. This can be achieved by inserting the SVG markup in your HTML code or utilizing SVG injection, which swaps out the img element with content from an SVG file using Javascript.
An effective open-source tool for this purpose is SVGInject. Simply add the attribute onload="SVGInject(this)" to your <img> tag.
Here's a basic example of how to use SVGInject:
<html>
<head>
<script src="svg-inject.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<img src="image.svg" onload="SVGInject(this)" />
</body>
</html>
Upon loading the image, the onload="SVGInject(this) function will trigger the injection process, replacing the <img> element with the contents of the SVG file specified in the src attribute.
Although this question has been around for a while, I found it while searching for the same topic. After going through various answers, I ultimately developed a function specifically tailored to address this issue:
Hopefully, this will be helpful to some of you:
/* inspired by https://codepen.io/osublake/pen/OMRdKq */
function loadSvgIntoDiv(theDIV, pathToSvg, prefix = 'myPrefix-', fillColor = null, fillColorID = null)
{
if ( theDIV == null || typeof theDIV.appendChild != 'function' ) return null;
fetch(pathToSvg).then( (res) => {
// check the status
if (!res.ok)
{
switch (res.status)
{
case 404:
throw new Error('"' + pathToSvg + '" not found (error 404).');
default:
throw new Error('Failed to fetch "' + pathToSvg + '": ' + res.status + ' (' + res.statusText + ')');
}
}
let contentType = res.headers.get('content-type');
if ( typeof contentType == 'string' && contentType.indexOf('image/svg') !== -1 )
{
// hand over SVG-content to next .then
return res.text();
} else {
throw new Error('Unexpected content type (' + iconPath + ', ' + contentType + ')');
}
})
.then( (iconData) => {
// clean up SVG
// remove width and height from <svg ...>-tag to allow scaling
iconData = iconData.replace(/\<svg([^>]*)\>/ig, (match) => {
return match.replace(/width\=[\'\"]([^\"^\']*)[\"\']/ig, '').replace(/height\=[\'\"]([^\"^\']*)[\"\']/ig, '');
});
// adjust viewbox to be a square image
iconData = iconData.replace(/\<svg([^>]*)\>/ig, (match) => {
return match.replace(/viewbox\=[\'\"][^0-9^\.^\-]*([0-9\.\-]*)[^0-9^\.^\-]*([0-9\.\-]*)[^0-9^\.^\-]*([0-9\.\-]*)[^0-9^\.^\-]*([0-9\.\-]*)[^\"^\']*[\"\']/ig, (match, x, y, w, h) => {
x = Number(x);
y = Number(y);
w = Number(w);
h = Number(h);
if ( w < h ) { x=x-(h-w)/2; w=h; }
if ( h < w ) { y=y-(w-h)/2; h=w; }
return 'viewbox="' + x + ' ' + y + ' ' + w + ' ' + h + '"';
});
});
let origIcon = iconData;
// add fill-style to a given id
if ( fillColorID != null && fillColor != null )
{
let search = '/id\=[\"\']' + fillColorID + '[\"\']/ig';
iconData = iconData.replace(search, 'id="' + fillColorID + '" style="fill: ' + fillColor + '" ');
}
// edit all fill-statements within path-tags
if ( fillColor != null ) fillColor='fill="' + fillColor + '"';
if ( fillColor == null || fillColorID != null ) fillColor='';
iconData = iconData.replace(/\<path([^>]*)\>/ig, (match) => {
return match.replace(/fill\=[\'\"]([^\"^\']*)[\"\']/ig, fillColor);
});
iconData = iconData.replace(/\<g\ ([^>]*)\>/ig, (match) => {
return match.replace(/fill\=[\'\"]([^\"^\']*)[\"\']/ig, fillColor);
});
// no fill was added, as nothing was changed
if ( iconData == origIcon)
{
iconData = iconData.replace(/\<g\ ([^>]*)\>/ig, (match, p) => {
return '<g ' + replaceFill + p + '>';
});
iconData = iconData.replace(/\<path([^>]*)\>/ig, (match, p) => {
return '<path ' + replaceFill + p + '>';
});
}
// add prefix in front of every ID to prevent duplicates
iconData = iconData.replace(/id\=[\"\']([^\"^\']*)[\"\']/ig, 'id="' + prefix + '$1"');
// finally add the SVG to the div
theDIV.innerHTML = iconData;
})
.catch( (error) => {
// handle error messages
});
}

The contentDocument property of Objects gives access to the SVG's DOM, allowing for manipulation. You can see an example here, where the kangaroos initially change to yellow using external CSS before being set to gold by Javascript.
Adjusting the hue of an element isn't a straightforward task in Typescript, however, I found a way that does the trick.
your_element.style.filter = `brightness(100%) hue-rotate(${Math.random() * 360}deg)`;
Using dynamic creation and a vector image instead of drawing, this code builds off the above:
function svgztruck() {
tok = "{d path value}"
return tok;
}
function buildsvg( eid ) {
console.log("building");
var zvg = "svg" + eid;
var vvg = eval( zvg );
var raw = vvg();
var svg = document.getElementById( eid );
svg.setAttributeNS(null,"d", raw );
svg.setAttributeNS(null,"fill","green");
svg.setAttributeNS(null,"onlick", eid + ".style.fill=#FF0000");
return;
}
To call the function, use:
<img src="" onerror="buildscript">
This allows you to add colors by sub element and manipulate all elements of the dom directly. Make sure to implement the viewbox and height/width first in the SVG HTML, as shown in the example above.
It's unnecessary to make your code lengthy when it can be concise. Consider using PHP for efficiency.
The inner element that svg builds on is a simple
<svg lamencoding id=parenteid><path id=eid><svg>If you're only concerned about the color and don't require JavaScript, another option is to convert them into a font. By clicking this link, you can create a font based on the SVG graphics. However, please note that using img attributes like "alt" will not be possible afterwards. This may also impact the accessibility of your website for visually impaired users and others.
