Provides a helper for using Google Webfonts with the Ruby programming language.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'google-webfonts'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install google-webfonts
include Google::Webfonts::Helper
google_webfonts_link_tag font_name: [weights]
google_webfonts_link_tag droid_sans: [400, 700], yanone_kaffeesatz: [300, 400]
The weights are optional, and do not have to be in an Array if you are only including one. For example:
# Generate a tag for Droid+Sans without specifying the font weight.
google_webfonts_link_tag :droid_sans
# Generate a tag for Droid+Sans with 400 weight.
google_webfonts_link_tag :droid_sans => 400
# Generate a tag for Droid+Sans with 400 and 700 weights.
google_webfonts_link_tag :droid_sans => [400, 700]
In certain cases it will be necessary to use Strings instead of Symbols for the font names. The helper method titleizes the symbols when converting it to a Google Webfonts compatible name. This does not work for every font name. For example:
# If a Symbol was provided here, the "T" would be lower-case, which would
# result in an invalid link.
google_webfonts_link_tag 'PT Sans'
Require the gem like this in your Gemfile when using with Rails:
gem 'google-webfonts', require: 'google/webfonts/rails'
The google_webfonts_link_tag helper method will automatically be available
to your views. If you need to use it outside of the views, include this module:
include Google::Webfonts::Helper
Here is a simple "Hello World" example for using Google::Webfonts in a Sinatra app:
# app.rb
require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'
# This must be required after requiring sinatra.
require 'google/webfonts/sinatra'
get '/' do
erb :index
end
# views/index.erb
<html>
<head>
<%= google_webfonts_link_tag "Droid Sans" %>
</head>
<body>
<p style="font-family: 'Droid+Sans', sans-serif;">
Hello World!
</p>
</body>
</html>
