🤯 Manual or browserslist based auto-detection of font formats to generate
🏗️ Generates and injects custom properties (variables) with icon codes into pages, where SVG file name is used as a variable name

  iconFont: {
    // Font name to be used in "font-family" and custom properties generated prefix "--icon-font-svgiconfilename"
    name: "icon-font",
    // folder with icons to watch
    sourceDirPath: "assets/icon-font",
    // target folder for generated fonts in "public" folder
    targetDirPath: "icon-font",
    // font formats to generate, fallback to ["woff2"] in case browserslist is not used, example for manual configuration: ["svg", "ttf", "woff", "woff2", "eot"] in any order
    formats: getFontFormatsList(browserslist()),
    // Support of generating the most popular font as base64
    base64: false,
    // unicode symbol for first icon in iconfont (makes sense to change only if you're not going to use custom properties)
    unicode: "0xE900",
    // generated custom properties (variables) format. Other options are: "snake", "pascal", "camel", "header", "constant"
    case: "kebab"
