This is just a Node.js wrapper around Google's excellent woff2 utility.

If you're using npm:

npm i woff2-next

Alternatively you can clone this repo and run npm install. Be sure to get the submodule dependency (use the --recursive flag when cloning). Note that you can't install directly from this repo because npm doesn't understand submodules.

nfroidure wrote a wrapper that converts TTF to WOFF2. I wanted something that could encode and decode though, so I recycled his bindings.gyp file, and the file ./src/woff2_encode.cc is more or less straight from his repository. In respect for his work this wrapper is also under the MIT license.

Kind: global namespace

• woff2 : object
  • .decode ⇒ Buffer
  • .encode ⇒ Buffer

Convert WOFF2 data to TTF.

Kind: static property of woff2
Returns: Buffer - Decoded TTF data.

Example

var woff2 = require('woff2-next');
var input = fs.readFileSync('something.woff2');
var output = 'output.ttf';
fs.writeFileSync(output, woff2.decode(input));

In order to use the development env, install Nix and run nix-shell in the root of this repo. You will be dropped into a shell with the project's dependencies installed.

npm run build
npm test
