webpack-iconfont-plugin-nodejs

Use svg files to build iconfont files(ttf,woff2,woff,eot,svg), css file, js data file and html-preview file.

Features:

• Iconfont output formats: WOFF2, WOFF, EOT, TTF and SVG.
• Generates CSS file, js data file, html-preview file.
• Supports webpack and hot reloading at devlopment time. Iconfont files and css file will be rebuilt while any svg file changed or added, then page will refresh.
• Supports running by nodejs directly.
• Fixed output files with the same svg files. It means that if the svg files are not changed, all the output files(ttf,woff,css...) will not change, even though you build them again.
• High iconfont precision.

Test for preview:

git clone https://github.com/hzsrc/webpack-iconfont-plugin-nodejs.git
cd webpack-iconfont-plugin-nodejs
npm install
npm run dev

Or visit this preview: http://test.hz300.com/webpack4/iconfontPreview.html

Install:

npm install webpack-iconfont-plugin-nodejs

Usage:

You can use it by nodejs directly or use it in webpack

1. Use by nodejs directly:

build/svg2font.js:

var WebpackIconfontPluginNodejs = require('webpack-iconfont-plugin-nodejs');
var path = require('path');
var dir = 'test/web_project/'
var options = {
  fontName: 'my-icons',
  cssPrefix: 'ico',
  svgs: path.join(dir, 'svgs/*.svg'),
  // template: path.join(dir, 'css.njk'),
  // htmlTemplate: path.join(dir, 'html.njk'),
  fontsOutput: path.join(dir, 'fonts/'),
  cssOutput: path.join(dir, 'fonts/font.css'),
  htmlOutput: path.join(dir, 'fonts/_font-preview.html'),
  jsOutput: path.join(dir, 'fonts/fonts.js'),
  // formats: ['ttf', 'woff', 'svg'],
};

new WebpackIconfontPluginNodejs(options).build()

Then you can run this command to build iconfont by svg:

node build/svg2font.js

Or you can set this command to script of package.json, and run it by npm.

2. Use by webpack:

var WebpackIconfontPluginNodejs = require('webpack-iconfont-plugin-nodejs');
var dir = 'test/web_project/'

module.exports = {
    //... others
    plugins: [
        new WebpackIconfontPluginNodejs({
          fontName: 'my-icons',
          cssPrefix: 'ico',
          svgs: path.join(dir, 'svgs/*.svg'),
          // template: path.join(dir, 'css.njk'),
          fontsOutput: path.join(dir, 'fonts/'),
          cssOutput: path.join(dir, 'fonts/font.css'),
          htmlOutput: path.join(dir, 'fonts/_font-preview.html'),
          jsOutput: path.join(dir, 'fonts/fonts.js'),
          namesOutput: path.join(dir, 'fonts/names.txt'),
          // formats: ['ttf', 'woff', 'svg'],
        }),
    ]
};
