Directive Attributes

Current State

<jd-fontselect state="myStateObject" />

The State object is meant to be read only and can be used for initiation with a certain state.

// $scope.myStateObject
{
  sort: {               // Sort the list by a given font attribute
    attr: 'name',       // Can be: 'name', 'popularity', 'lastModified'
    direction: true
  },
  providers: {          // Filter the list by Font provider
    google: true,
    websafe: true
  },
  category: undefined,  // Filter. Can be: undefined (all), 'sansserif',
                        //   'serif', 'handwriting', 'display', 'other'
  font: {               // The current font object
    subsets: [ ... ],   // List of supported subsets
    variants: [ ... ],  // List of available Variants
    name: '',           // Name of the font (As displayed in the list)
    popularity: 0,      // Popularity of the font
    key: '',            // Lower-cased alpha only version of the name
    lastModified: 0,    // Timestamp
    stack: '',			// For example '"Open Sans", sans-serif'
    category: ''        // 'sansserif', 'serif', 'handwriting', 'display', 'other'
  },
  search: '',            // Current search string
  subsets: {            // Filter: Object of subsets supported by google
    latin: true
    // [ ... ]
  }
}

Current Stack

<jd-fontselect stack="myFontStack" />

The Font stack can be used in CSS like this

<h1 style="font-family: {{myFontStack}};">Look at this font</h1>

You can change the current font in the selection by giving $scope.myFontStack a value (for example Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif)

Current Font Name

<jd-fontselect name="myFontName" />

Read-Only. $scope.myFontName now contains the current font name

Translate

<jd-fontselect text="myTranslationObject" />
<jd-fontselect rawText="{ toggleOpenLabel: 'Mach uff!', ... }" />

The text attribute contains a translation object, the rawtext object contains a string, evaluating into a translation object.

// $scope.myTranslationObject
{
  toggleOpenLabel: 'open',
  toggleCloseLabel: 'close',
  searchToggleLabel: 'Search',
  search: 'Search by Fontname',
  toggleSearchLabel: 'Choose Font',
  providerLabel: 'Providers',
  subsetLabel: 'Subsets',
  styleLabel: 'Categories',
  settingsLabel: 'Settings',

  },
  provider: {
    websafe: 'Websafe Fonts',
    google: 'Google Fonts'
  },
  category: {
    serif: 'Serif',
    sansserif: 'Sans Serif',
    display: 'Display',
    handwriting: 'Handwriting',
    other: 'Other'
  },
  subset: {
    cyrillic: 'Cyrillic',
    'cyrillic-ext': 'Cyrillic Extended',
    greek: 'Greek',
    'greek-ext': 'Greek Extended',
    latin: 'Latin',
    'latin-ext': 'Latin Extended',
    vietnamese: 'Vietnamese',
    devanagari: 'Devanagari',
    khmer: 'Khmer'
  },
  sort: {
    popularity: 'Popularity',
    name: 'Alphabet',
    lastModified: 'Latest'
  },
  sortdir: {
    desc: '▼',
    asc: '▲'
  }
}

On Initiation

<jd-fontselect on-init="myInitiation($scope, $element)" />

This calls $scope.myInitiation with the font selection scope and element once the selection is initiated.

Curated Fonts

In order to show a list of curated fonts on top the list with all fonts configure the jdfsCuratedFontsProvider with an array of ${font.provider}.${font.key}-strings.

angular.module('myApp', ['jdFontselect'])
  .config(function (jdfsCuratedFontsProvider) {
    jdfsCuratedFontsProvider.setCuratedFontKeys(['websafe.timesnewroman', 'google.alef']);
  });
