Nuxt icon font generator


Note: This is Nuxt 3 compatible module only.


Features

  • 🕵️‍♂️ Watches specified folder (and sub-folders) with SVG icons and generates fonts on change
  • 💅 Optimizes SVG files via SVGO
  • 🤯 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
  • ❤️ Detects and generates the most popular font format as base64 to reduce page jump effect

Usage

<template>
<p>I'm a text with icon!</p>
</template>
<style scoped lang="scss">
p {
&:before {
content: var(--icon-font-house);
font-family: "icon-font";

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"
