In SVG Path EditorYou can copy 'svg.ts' and 'svg-parser.ts', from here:
https://github.com/Yqnn/svg-path-editor/tree/master/src/app
It's what's used internally by the tool.

path.asString(); // Export the path with no minification
path.asString(1, true); // Export the path with 4 decimals, and minification
