If only the svg string processor is needed, there is another api exposed.

import { stringToUrl } from "svg-to-url";

// optional custom svgo config: https://github.com/svg/svgo
const svgoConfig = {
  plugins: [...]
};
const getUrlFromSvgString = stringToUrl(svgoConfig);

const resultUrl = getUrlFromSvgString("<svg>...</svg>");
