lib/index.js
file in your HTML:<script type="text/javascript" src="./path/to/dist/index.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
const fontPicker = new FontPicker(
'YOUR_API_KEY', // Google API key
'Open Sans', // default font
{ limit: 50 } // additional options
);
fontPicker.init();
</script>
font-picker
package from NPM and require it in a JavaScript file:npm install font-picker
const FontPicker = require('font-picker');
const fontPicker = new FontPicker(
'YOUR_API_KEY', // Google API key
'Open Sans', // default font
{ limit: 50 } // additional options
);
fontPicker.init();
Create an empty <div>
with the ID "font-picker"
in your HTML file. This is where the font picker will be generated.
<div id="font-picker"></div>
Add the class "apply-font"
to all HTML elements you want to apply the selected font to.
When the user selects a font using the font picker, it will automatically be downloaded (added as a <link>
to the document's head) and applied to all HTML elements of the "apply-font"
class.
See demo/index.html
for an example.
The following parameters can be passed to the constructor of the FontPicker
class:

, then use #font-picker-main
and .apply-font-main

class); e.g. ['regular', 'italic', '700', '700italic']
(default: ['regular']
)limit
: Maximum number of fonts to be displayed in the list (the least popular fonts will be omitted; default: 100
