Build a Vite Plugin to Catch Broken SVG Assets Before Production

A step-by-step tutorial shows how to build a custom Vite plugin that scans a project's SVG assets, enforces rules like requiring a viewBox, banning script and foreignObject elements, and staying under a size budget, then blocks builds and warns during development when assets violate those rules. It covers structuring the plugin, hooking into buildStart and configureServer, making it configurable, extracting a reusable validation engine, and wiring the same checks into CI, framing the approach as turning tribal knowledge about asset requirements into an executable build contract.
