Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

js grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-font-loader');

###Example config for downloading fonts

js grunt.initConfig({ font_loader: { get: { options:{ fonts: 'sources/fonts/fonts.yml', dest: 'web/fonts/', host: '88.198.10.230', username: 'fonts', password: 'fcfifq', } }, }, });

###Example config for info mode

js grunt.initConfig({ font_loader: { list: { mode: 'info', options:{ dest: 'web/fonts', host: '88.198.10.230', username: 'fonts', password: 'fcfifq', } }, }, });

Also you can pass a variable font with shape for search. Type grunt font_loader:list --font=roboto and you see a result something like this

roboto-black [eot, svg, ttf, woff, woff2] roboto-bold [eot, svg, ttf, woff, woff2] roboto-regular [eot, svg, ttf, woff, woff2]
