Usage

Add the plugin to your webpack config file:

const WebpackFontfacePlugin = require('webpack-fontface');
const options = { ... };

module.exports = {
  ...
  plugins: [
    new WebpackFontfacePlugin(options)
  ]
};

And import a font from your app:

const { fontFamily, fontStyle, fontWeight } from './Roboto-LightItalic.ttf';

console.log(fontFamily); // "Roboto"
console.log(fontStyle);  // "italic"
console.log(fontWeight); // 300

By default all files with a .ttf extension will be processed.

Options

virtualPath

Type: String
Default: '__GENERATED_WEBPACK_FONTFACE__'

The path where are written the generated css and font files. The path could be absolute or relative to the compiler context.
Even if the files are written to memory, you must ensure that their path does not collide with existing files.

rules

Type: Array
Default: [DefaultRule]

List of rules for @font-face generation. When a module is imported, the first rule with a successful test is used to process it. If no rule test is successful, the module is ignored.

The DefaultRule takes this shape:

{
  test: /\.ttf$/,
  useEot: true,
  useSvg: true,
  useTtf: true,
  useWoff: true,
  useWoff2: true,
  descriptors: {},
  locals: [],
}

rules[*].test

Type: RegExp
Default: /\.ttf$/

Used to check from its path whether an imported module is a font to process.

rules[*].useEot

Type: Boolean
Default: true

If eot font should be generated and used as a source by the @font-face.

rules[*].useSvg

Type: Boolean
Default: true

If svg font should be generated and used as a source by the @font-face.

Type: Boolean
Default: true

If ttf font should be generated and used as a source by the @font-face.

Type: Boolean
Default: true

If woff font should be generated and used as a source by the @font-face.

rules[*].useWoff2

Type: Boolean
Default: true

An object containing @font-face descriptors with camelCase names. Eight descriptors are supported:

• fontDisplay
