broccoli-sass-font-face

This is a broccoli plugin for the easy generation of @font-face rules.

Installation

npm install --save-dev broccoli-sass-font-face

Usage

Assume that you have several fonts in your project's webpub/fonts directory:

~/project/$ ls -C webpub/fonts
headers.eot
headers.ttf
headers.woff
headers_bold.eot
headers_bold.ttf
headers_bold.woff

Add in your Brocfile.js

var fontFace = require( 'broccoli-sass-font-face' );
// This prefix will be removed from the each font URL:
fontFace.font_root = 'webpub';
 
var fonts = fontFace( 'webpub/fonts', {
    // Specify location of the file with Sass mixins and variables for our fonts:
    output: 'scss_compiled/_fonts.scss',
});
 
// ... then pass this tree to the broccoli Sass plugin

The output file will contain something like this (you can see this if you export the fonts tree):

// File created with broccoli-sass-font-face at Mon Dec 22 2014 20:08:01 GMT+0700 (NOVT) 
 
 
@mixin headers_font{
    @font-face{
        font-family: "ObelixPro Regular";
        src: url('/fonts/headers.eot');
        src: url('/fonts/headers.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
             url('/fonts/headers.ttf') format('truetype'),
             url('/fonts/headers.woff') format('woff');
        font-weight: normal;
        font-style: normal;
    }
}
$headers_font_family: "ObelixPro Regular";
 
@mixin headers_bold_font{
    @font-face{
        font-family: "ObelixPro Bold";
        src: url('/fonts/headers_bold.eot');
        src: url('/fonts/headers_bold.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
             url('/fonts/headers_bold.ttf') format('truetype'),
             url('/fonts/headers_bold.woff') format('woff');
        font-weight: normal;
        font-style: normal;
    }
}
$headers_bold_font_family: "ObelixPro Bold";

Generated mixins and variables can be imported in your Sass file as follows:

@import "scss_compiled/fonts";
 
@include headers_font;
 
h1, h2, h3, h4{
    font-family: $headers_font_family 
}

If you pass to plugin a broccoli tree as first argument, you must to set a font_dir option. If you want to include automatically all generated mixins, you can set an include option to true.

Documentation

fontFace( inputTree, options )

---

options.output {String}

---

[options.font_dir] {String|null}

A path to the directory with fonts. Required, when the inputTree is a broccoli tree, returned by another plugin.

Default value: null

---

[options.font_root] {String|null}

A prefix which must be cut out from the each font URL

Default value: null

Important notes

• Supported font formats: TTF, WOFF, WOFF2, EOT. SVG fonts are deprecated and are not supported.
• Plugin takes the value for the font-family property only from ttf files for now. If the ttf file is not present for the group of fonts, the value will be a file basename.
