}).then(result => {
  console.log(result);
});

import webfont from "webfont";

webfont({
  files: "src/svg-icons/**/*.svg",
  fontName: "my-font-name"
}).then(result => {
  console.log(result);
});

Options

`files`

A file glob, or array of file globs. Ultimately passed to fast-glob to figure out what files you want to get.

node_modules and bower_components are always ignored.

`configFile`

A webfont configuration object.

`fontName`

Type: String Default: webfont

The font family name you want.

### formats

Type: Array Default value: ['svg', 'ttf', 'eot', 'woff', 'woff2'] Possible values: svg, ttf, eot, woff, woff2.

Font file types to generate.

`template`

Type: string Default: null

Possible values: css, scss (feel free to contribute). If you want to use custom template use this option. Example: template: path.resolve(__dirname, './my-template.css').

`templateClassName`

Type: string Default: null

Default font class name.

`templateFontPath`

Type: string Default: ./

Path to generated fonts in the CSS file.

`templateFontName`

Type: string

Default value getting from fontName options, but you can specify any value.

`glyphTransformFn`

Type: function Default: null

If you need transform glyph metadata (e.g. titles of CSS classes) before transferred in style template for your icons, you can use this option with glyphs metadata object.

Example:

glyphTransformFn: obj => {
  obj.name += "_transform";

  return obj;
};

`fontId`

`fontStyle`

`fontWeight`

`fixedWidth`

`centerHorizontally`

`normalize`

`fontHeight`

`round`

`descent`

`ascent`

`startUnicode`

`prependUnicode`

Options that are passed directly to svgicons2svgfont. Option fontName for svgicons2svgfont taken from above fontName argument.

Command Line Interface

The interface for command-line usage is fairly simplistic at this stage, as seen in the following usage section.

Usage

webfont --help prints the CLI documentation.

Options

  Generator of fonts from svg icons, svg icons to svg font, svg font to ttf, ttf to eot, ttf to woff, ttf to woff2

  Usage: webfont [input] [options]

  Input: File(s) or glob(s).

      If an input argument is wrapped in quotation marks, it will be passed to "fast-glob"
      for cross-platform glob support.

  Options:

      --config

          Path to a specific configuration file (JSON, YAML, or CommonJS)
          or the name of a module in `node_modules` that points to one.
          If no `--config` argument is provided, webfont will search for
          configuration  files in the following places, in this order:
             - a `webfont` property in `package.json`
             - a `.webfontrc` file (with or without filename extension:
                 `.json`, `.yaml`, and `.js` are available)
             - a `webfont.config.js` file exporting a JS object
          The search will begin in the working directory and move up the
          directory tree until a configuration file is found.

      -f, --font-name

          The font family name you want, default: "webfont".

      -h, --help

          Output usage information.

      -v, --version

      -d, --dest

          Destination for generated fonts.

      -t, --template

          Type of template ('css', 'scss') or path to custom template.

      -s, --dest-template

          Destination for generated template. If not passed used `dest` argument value.

      -c, --template-class-name  

          Class name in css template.

      -p, --template-font-path

          Font path in css template.

      -n, --template-font-name

          Font name in css template.

      --verbose

          Tell me everything!.

  For "svgicons2svgfont":

      --font-id

          The font id you want, default as "--font-name".

      --font-style

          The font style you want.

      --font-weight

          The font weight you want.

      --fixed-width

          Creates a monospace font of the width of the largest input icon.

      --center-horizontally

          Calculate the bounds of a glyph and center it horizontally.

      --normalize

          Normalize icons by scaling them to the height of the highest icon.

      --font-height

          The outputted font height [MAX(icons.height)].

      --round

          Prefix files with their automatically allocated unicode codepoint.

Exit codes

The CLI can exit the process with the following exit codes:

0: All ok.
1: Something unknown went wrong.
Other: related to using packages.

Webpack plugin - webpack plugin.
svgicons2svgfont - Simple tool to merge multiple icons to an SVG font.
svg2ttf - Converts SVG fonts to TTF format.
ttf2eot - Converts TTF fonts to EOT format.
ttf2woff - Converts TTF fonts to WOFF format.
ttf2woff2 - Converts TTF fonts to WOFF2.

Roadmap

The ability to generate from any type to any type.
More tests, include CLI test.
Improved docs.
Reduce package size (maybe implement ttf2woff2 with native js library).
Improve performance (maybe use cache for this).
