}
```


## API

### `svgo([options])`

Note that postcss-svgo is an *asynchronous* processor. It cannot be used
like this:

```js
var result = postcss([ svgo() ]).process(css).css;
console.log(result);
```

Instead make sure your PostCSS runner uses the asynchronous API:

```js
postcss([ svgo() ]).process(css).then(function (result) {
    console.log(result.css);
});
```

#### options

##### encode

Type: `boolean`
Default: `undefined`

If `true`, it will encode URL-unsafe characters such as `<`, `>` and `&`;
`false` will decode these characters, and `undefined` will neither encode nor
decode the original input. Note that regardless of this setting, `#` will
always be URL-encoded.

##### plugins

Optionally, you can customise the output by specifying the `plugins` option. You
will need to provide the config in comma separated objects, like the example
below. Note that you can either disable the plugin by setting it to `false`,
or pass different options to change the default behaviour.

```js
var postcss = require('postcss');
var svgo = require('postcss-svgo');

var opts = {
    plugins: [{
        removeDoctype: false
    }, {
        removeComments: false
    }, {
        cleanupNumericValues: {
            floatPrecision: 2
        }
    }, {
        convertColors: {
            names2hex: false,
            rgb2hex: false
        }
    }]
};

postcss([ svgo(opts) ]).process(css).then(function (result) {
    console.log(result.css)
});
```
