Introducing Enhanced Alert Actions and Triage Functionality
Socket now supports four distinct alert actions instead of the previous two, and alert triaging allows users to override the actions taken for all individual alerts.
svgicons2svgfont
Advanced tools
Readme
svgicons2svgfont is a simple tool to merge multiple icons to an SVG font.
'rect', 'line', 'circle', 'ellipsis', 'polyline' and 'polygon' shapes will be converted to pathes. Multiple pathes will be merged.
Transform attributes support is currenly experimental, report issues if any.
You can test this library with the frontend generator.
You may want to convert fonts to icons, if so use svgfont2svgicons.
## Usage
### In your scripts
var svgicons2svgfont = require('svgicons2svgfont');
var fs = require('fs');
var fontStream = svgicons2svgfont({
fontName: 'hello'
});
// Setting the font destination
fontStream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('fonts/hello.svg'))
.on('finish',function() {
console.log('Font successfully created!')
})
.on('error',function(err) {
console.log(err);
});
// Writing glyphs
var glyph1 = fs.createReadStream('icons/icon1.svg');
glyph1.metadata = {
unicode: ['\uE001\uE002'],
name: 'icon1'
};
fontStream.write(glyph);
// Multiple unicode values are possible
var glyph2 = fs.createReadStream('icons/icon1.svg');
glyph2.metadata = {
unicode: ['\uE002', '\uEA02'],
name: 'icon2'
};
fontStream.write(glyph2);
// Either ligatures are available
var glyph3 = fs.createReadStream('icons/icon1.svg');
glyph3.metadata = {
unicode: ['\uE001\uE002'],
name: 'icon1-icon2'
};
fontStream.write(glyph3);
// Do not forget to end the stream
fontStream.end();
All options are available except the log
one by using this pattern:
--{LOWER_CASE(optionName)}={optionValue}
.
svgicons2svgfont --fontname=hello -o font/destination/file.svg icons/directory/*.svg
Note that you won't be able to customize icon names or icons unicodes by
passing options but by using the following convention to name your icons files:
${icon.unicode}-${icon.name}.svg
where icon.unicode
is a comma separated
list of unicode strings (ex: 'uEA01,uE001,uE001uE002', note that the last
string is in fact a ligature).
There is a few more options for the CLI interface, you can list all of them:
svgicons2svgfont --help
# Usage: svgicons2svgfont [options] <icons ...>
#
# Options:
#
# -h, --help output usage information
# -V, --version output the version number
# -v, --verbose tell me everything!
# -o, --output [/dev/stdout] Output file.
# -f, --fontname [value] the font family name you want [iconfont].
# -i, --fontId [value] The font id you want [fontname]
# -st, --style [value] the font style you want [iconfont].
# -we, --weight [value] the font weight you want [iconfont].
# -w, --fixedWidth creates a monospace font of the width of the largest input icon.
# -c, --centerhorizontally calculate the bounds of a glyph and center it horizontally.
# -n, --normalize normalize icons by scaling them to the height of the highest icon.
# -h, --height [value] the outputted font height [MAX(icons.height)].
# -r, --round [value] setup the SVG path rounding [10e12].
# -d, --descent [value] the font descent [0].
# -a, --ascent [value] the font ascent [height - descent].
# -s, --startunicode [value] the start unicode codepoint for unprefixed files [0xEA01].
# -a, --prependUnicode prefix files with their automatically allocated unicode codepoint.
# -m, --metadata content of the metadata tag.
Type: String
Default value: 'iconfont'
The font family name you want.
Type: String
Default value: the options.fontName value
The font id you want.
Type: String
Default value: ''
The font style you want.
Type: String
Default value: ''
The font weight you want.
Type: Boolean
Default value: false
Creates a monospace font of the width of the largest input icon.
Type: Boolean
Default value: false
Calculate the bounds of a glyph and center it horizontally.
Warning: The bounds calculation is currently a naive implementation that may not work for some icons. We need to create a svg-pathdata-draw module on top of svg-pathdata to get the real bounds of the icon. It's on the bottom of my to do, but feel free to work on it. Discuss it in the related issue.
Type: Boolean
Default value: false
Normalize icons by scaling them to the height of the highest icon.
Type: Number
Default value: MAX(icons.height)
The outputted font height (defaults to the height of the highest input icon).
Type: Number
Default value: 10e12
Setup SVG path rounding.
Type: Number
Default value: 0
The font descent. It is usefull to fix the font baseline yourself.
Warning: The descent is a positive value!
Type: Number
Default value: fontHeight - descent
The font ascent. Use this options only if you know what you're doing. A suitable value for this is computed for you.
Type: String
Default value: undefined
The font metadata. You can set any character data in but it is the be suited place for a copyright mention.
Type: Function
Default value: console.log
Allows you to provide your own logging function. Set to function(){}
to
impeach logging.
grunt-svgicons2svgfont and grunt-webfont.
Try gulp-iconfont and gulp-svgicons2svgfont.
### Stylus plugin
Use stylus-iconfont.
### Mimosa plugin
## CLI alternatives
You can combine this plugin's CLI interface with svg2ttf, ttf2eot, ttf2woff and ttf2woff2. You can also use webfonts-generator.
