Font Cacher

For loading and downloading Fonts locally, only Google Fonts is supported for now but this may change. Fonts are retrieved from a font url, and returned. If already present on disk they will be loaded from disk and returned. If not present on disk they will be downloaded, saved to disk, and returned. Useful for integrating into SSGs or other site builders.

Usage

import { getFont } from '@mithray/font-cacher

const options = {cachePath: './fonts'}
const url = 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Playfair+Display'
const fontFiles = await getFont(options)(url)
console.log(fontFiles)
/*

By default, the files will be saved in './fonts'. If you want to change the directory, pass `{cachePath: './some_path_here'}` as first argument to getFont. If you want to disable saving to disk,because you want to integrate it into some other build step, you can pass `{cachePath: null}`.

Options

opts =
  { cachePath: './fonts' // Any Path
  , verbosity: 'silent' // 'silent', 'debug', 'info'  
  }
