svg-assets 
Warning : This project is still a work in progress. Feel free to report any issues encountered or any possible enhancements.
Future of project : The main goal is to offer Brunch, Grunt, and Gulp plugins.
Why would you need it ?
Using svg in a project is great for many reasons (scalable size, all elements are editable with css, etc.). But a svg file can be sometimes huge, and including its source directly in your template file makes it unreadable.
That's where svg-assets comes to the rescue !
It'll parse any template file to find <svga> tags and replace them with related assets files.
Installation
Installing globally will give you access to the svg-assets command anywhere on your system
npm install -g svg-assets
Usage
svg-assets comes with a few options. These options will be used by default (except directory and assets), and any of them will be replaced by defined ones.

| templates-ext | ['html', 'htm', 'hbs', 'handlebars'] | none |
| output-directory | null | if no output directory is set, It will override source template files |
| assets | none | default value will be the root of project if preserve-root is set to false |
