Generates CSS font-face with woff2 and woff fonts embedded as base64.

npm install --save woff2base64

woff2base64 automatically looks up the font-weight and font-style in the given font filename (case-insensitive). All possible css values are supported.

If your font's filename contains the word regular, the font-weight will be set to normal.

However, if you cannot change the font's filename, you can pass the weight and style for each font via the font parameter (see below).

import fs from 'fs';
import woff2base64 from 'woff2base64';
const fonts = {
    'Roboto-Bold.woff2': fs.readFileSync('fonts/Roboto/Roboto-Bold.woff2'),
    'Roboto-Bold.woff':  fs.readFileSync('fonts/Roboto/Roboto-Bold.woff'),
	// ...
};
const options = {
    fontFamily: 'Roboto'
};
const css = woff2base64(fonts, options);
// css.woff2 = '@font-face{font-family:"Roboto";src:url(data:application/font-woff2;charset=utf-8;base64,...'
// css.woff  = '@font-face{font-family:"Roboto";src:url(data:application/font-woff;charset=utf-8;base64,...'

fs.writeFileSync('build/roboto.woff2.css', css.woff2);
fs.writeFileSync('build/roboto.woff.css', css.woff);

woff2base64 accepts two objects: fonts and options.

Use woff2 and woff filenames as keys.

The value can either be a String containing the file content, a Buffer containing the file content or an Object, allowing you to pass font-specific options:

const fonts = {
    'Roboto-BoldItalic.woff2': {
        content: fs.readFileSync('fonts/Roboto/Roboto-BoldItalic.woff2'),
        weight: 'bold',
        style: 'italic'
    },
    'Roboto-Bold.woff2': {
        content: fs.readFileSync('fonts/Roboto/Roboto-Bold.woff2'),
        weight: 'bold',
        style: 'normal'
    },
    'Roboto-Regular.woff2': fs.readFileSync('fonts/Roboto/Roboto-Bold.woff2'),
};
