Examples

Given the following SVG:

html

<svg viewBox="0 0 200 200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">  <defs>    <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" fill="blue" />    <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" fill="red" />  </defs>  <use x="50%" y="50%" href="#circle1" width="50" />  <use x="25%" y="50%" href="#circle2" width="100" /></svg>

We can access the computed values of thewidth attributes:

const uses = document.querySelectorAll("use");const widthUse1 = uses[0].width;const widthUse2 = uses[1].width;console.log(widthUse1.baseVal.value); // output: 50console.log(widthUse2.baseVal.value); // output: 100
