Svg sprite from Illustrator (with separate viewBox for each element)?

Question

Is there a way to export an .svg sprite directly from Illustrator, with a separate viewBox for each element?

I am only able get one viewBox for the whole set of icons, even when each of them is on its own artboard.

is it even possible to have multiple viewBoxes per svg file? — Luciano, Jul 6, 2016 at 14:17
You could always use the Export For Screens option to export each artboard as its own SVG — Manly, Jul 6, 2016 at 14:27

I seem to have found the solution - each sprite element must be converted to a symbol. That creates a viewBox for each symbol when exporting the svg.

An example:

<symbol id="badminton" data-name="badminton" viewBox="0 0 33.84 40.41">
