SVGLength: valueAsString property
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since January 2020.
The valueAsString
property of the SVGLength
interface represents the <length>'s value as a strin*, in the units expressed by unitType
.
Setting this attribute will cause value
, valueInSpecifiedUnits
, and unitType
to be updated automatically to reflect this setting.
Value
A string.

js
// Create an SVGLength object
const svg = document.querySelector("svg");
const length = svg.createSVGLength();
// Set the length as a string
length.valueAsString = "45%";
console.log(length.valueAsString); // Output: "45%"
console.log(length.unitType); // Output: 2 (SVG_LENGTHTYPE_PERCENTAGE)
console.log(length.valueInSpecifiedUnits); // Output: 45
// Change the length value
length.valueAsString = "100px";
console.log(length.valueAsString); // Output: "100px"
