grunt-fontsmith Build status

DEPRECATED

We are choosing to deprecate grunt-fontsmith and its family of libraries. They rely on a deprecated icomoon.io API, were never fully developed (e.g. missing SASS templates, multiple engines), and out of date (e.g. uses grunt@0.3).

While we would love to keep everything running, we have to choose to prioritize other projects over this one. We suggest using grunt-webfont as an alternative:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/grunt-webfont

If you are interested in forking, feel free to (and maybe open an issue to let me know so we can link to it).

If you have a minor request (e.g. cannot figure out how to use existing tool), feel free to open an issue describing your problem.


Grunt plugin for composing SVGs into multiple fonts, a character mapping, and CSS variables.

The use case for this was to have a synchronized and automatically generated variable set between HTML character entities (e.g. &#e002;), CSS variables (e.g. `content: '\e002';), and fonts.

Getting Started

Install this grunt plugin via npm install grunt-fontsmith and add it to your gruntfile:

// Inside of grunt.js/Gruntfile.js
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-fontsmith');

Dependencies

Currently, there is only the icomoon-phantomjs engine.

icomoon-phantomjs

This requires installing phantomjs and having it accessible from your path (i.e. phantomjs --version will work).

Usage

grunt.initConfig({
  font: {
    all: {
      // SVG files to read in
      src: ['public/images/icons/*.svg'],

      // Location to output CSS variables
      destCss: 'public/css/icons.styl',

      // Location to output fonts (expanded via brace expansion)
      destFonts: 'public/fonts/icons.{svg,woff,eot,ttf}',

      // Multiple CSS outputs supported (generated .styl and .json files)
      destCss: 'actual_files/font.{styl,json}',

      // Alternative formats (1)
      destCss:[
        'actual_files/font.styl',
        'actual_files/font.json'
      ],
      destFonts: [
        'actual_files/font.svg',
        'actual_files/font.woff',
        'actual_files/font.eot'
      ],

      // Alternative formats (2)
      destFonts: {
        // Override specific engines
        json: 'actual_files/font.less',
        styl: 'actual_files/font.json'
      },
      destFonts: {
        // Override specific engines
        'dev-svg': 'actual_files/font.svg',
        woff: 'actual_files/font.waffles',
        eot: 'actual_files/more.like.eof'
      },

      // OPTIONAL: Specify CSS format (inferred from destCss' extension by default)
          // (stylus, less, scss, json)
      cssFormat: 'json',

      // Optional: Custom routing of font filepaths for CSS
      cssRouter: function (fontpath) {
        return 'mysubfolder/' + fontpath;
      },

      // Optional: Custom naming of font families for multi-task support
      fontFamily: 'my-icon-font',

      // OPTIONAL: Specify CSS options
      cssOptions: {}
    }
  }
});
