file from the releases page, add it to your project, and include it in your HTML:<script type="text/javascript" src="path/to/font-picker.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
const fontPicker = new FontPicker(
'YOUR_API_KEY', // Google API key
'Open Sans', // default font
{ limit: 50 } // additional options
);
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://unpkg.com/font-picker^@2"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
const fontPicker = new FontPicker(

font-picker
package from NPM and import it in your code:npm install font-picker
import { FontPicker } from 'font-picker';
const fontPicker = new FontPicker(
'YOUR_API_KEY', // Google API key
'Open Sans', // default font
{ limit: 50 } // additional options
);
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, it will automatically be downloaded 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:
const fontPicker = new FontPicker(apiKey, defaultFont, options, onChange);

(required): Google API key (can be generated here)defaultFont
: Font that is selected on initialization (default: 'Open Sans'
)options

name
: If you have multiple font pickers on your site, you need to give them unique names (which may only consist of letters and digits). These names must also be appended to the font picker's ID and the .apply-font
class name. Example: If options = { name: 'main' }
, use #font-picker-main
and .apply-font-main

: Array of font categories – possible values: 'sans-serif', 'serif', 'display', handwriting', 'monospace'

: Array of variants which the fonts must include and which will be downloaded; the first variant in the array will become the default variant and will be used in the font picker and the .apply-font
class. Example: ['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
)sort

: Returns an object with information about the currently selected fontsetActiveFont(fontFamily)
: Change the active font programmaticallyTo build the project locally, do the following:
