fsvw

fsvw

You often see vw units used for font-size, however this breaks important accessibility functionality such as page zoom. However, using JS to dynamically set font-size creates undesirable flashes between font sizes.

This module enables you to fluidly scale your font-size with % instead of vw without requiring JS by outputting a series of media queries.

npm i fsvw

NOTE

Turns out there is a much simpler css-only method of accomplishing a very similar result. Shouts out to @kidneb for this one.

html { font-size: calc(2vw + 56.50%); }

API

var fsvw = require('fsvw')

var size = fsvw({
  breakpoints: {
    min: 767,
    max: 1280,
  },
  fontSize: 62.5,
  unit: '%',
  overflow: true
})

.breakpoints

An object containing the dimension range for scaling. Properties are min and max and values must be int.

.fontSize

The base size at the min breakpoint.

.fontSizeMax

The base size at the max breakpoint, used for custom non-linear scaling.

.unit

The font-size unit, defaulting to %.

.overflow

If you’d like your min/max size to carry over past the breakpoint. Defaults to true.
