How to add border/outline/stroke to SVG elements in CSS?
In CSS, something like:
path {
fill: none;
stroke: #646464;
stroke-width: 1px;
stroke-dasharray: 2,2;
stroke-linejoin: round;
}
Try adding CSS filter() dropshadow (this can be applied on any svg: <img>, background-image, in the dom, etc.)
or
SVG <filter> <feDropShadow>
Of course, Internet Explorer supports neither of these features.
svg {
fill: #fff;
}
#example_1 {
filter:
drop-shadow(-1px -1px 0px #3e68ff)
drop-shadow(2px -1px 0px #3e68ff)
drop-shadow(2px 2px 0px #3e68ff)
drop-shadow(-1px 2px 0px #3e68ff)

</svg>Or, create some javascript function that clones each of the elements within the svg, removing fill/stroke attributes, and wrapping them in a g tag that has fill="none" and stroke attributes set. Then prepend that to the svg.
For the question: How to add border/outline/stroke to SVG elements in webpages with CSS ?
You can do in CSS:
path { outline: 3px solid green; }
Please note as of 2018 it is supported by chrome and safari, but might not be available across all modern browsers. See example below:
I applied outline via CSS to a <g> group with paths inside. In static it looks good. In dynamic (dragging) I can see periodically these artifacts (to the left)
UPDATE:
- if outline is "solid" - there are no artifacts
- safari mobile doesn't support outline on
<g>elements...
