fantasticon-loader

A Webpack loader that generates fonts from your SVG icons and allows you to use your icons in your HTML.

fantasticon-loader uses the @ramirezcgn/fantasticon plugin to create fonts in any format. It also generates CSS files so that you can use your icons directly in your HTML, using CSS classes.

Installation

npm install fantasticon-loader --save-dev

Usage

Webpack rule

Add this rule to your Webpack config:

{
  test: /\.fantasticonrc\.js/,
  use: [
    {
      loader: 'fantasticon-loader',
      options: {
        runOnComplete: false
      }
    },
  ]
}

runOnComplete: runs "onComplete" callback if it was added as option.

Then you have to require the configuration file:

// entry.js
require('.fantasticonrc.js');

Configuration file

Here's an example .fantasticonrc.js:

module.exports = {
  inputDir: './icons', // (required)
  outputDir: './dist', // (required)
  fontTypes: ['ttf', 'woff', 'woff2'],
  assetTypes: ['ts', 'css', 'json', 'html'],
  fontsUrl: '/static/fonts',
  formatOptions: {
    // Pass options directly to `svgicons2svgfont`
    woff: {
      // Woff Extended Metadata Block - see https://www.w3.org/TR/WOFF/#Metadata
      metadata: '...'
    },
    json: {
      // render the JSON human readable with two spaces indentation (default is none, so minified)
      indent: 2
    },
    ts: {
      // select what kind of types you want to generate (default `['enum', 'constant', 'literalId', 'literalKey']`)
      types: ['constant', 'literalId'],
      // render the types with `'` instead of `"` (default is `"`)
      singleQuotes: true
    }
  },
  // Use a custom Handlebars template
  templates: {
    css: './my-custom-tp.css.hbs'
  },
  pathOptions: {
    ts: './src/types/icon-types.ts',
    json: './misc/icon-codepoints.json'
  },
  codepoints: {
    'chevron-left': 57344, // decimal representation of 0xe000
    'chevron-right': 57345,
    'thumbs-up': 57358,
    'thumbs-down': 57359
  },
  // Customize generated icon IDs (unavailable with `.json` config file)
  getIconId: ({
    basename, // `string` - Example: 'foo';
    relativeDirPath, // `string` - Example: 'sub/dir/foo.svg'
    absoluteFilePath, // `string` - Example: '/var/icons/sub/dir/foo.svg'
    relativeFilePath, // `string` - Example: 'foo.svg'
    index // `number` - Example: `0`
  }) => [index, basename].join('_'), // '0_foo'
  onComplete: (fontConfig) => console.log('complete: ', fontConfig),
};

The loader will then generate:

• CSS with the base and class prefix
• Font files for the SVG icons
