react-font

Simple components to easily use custom fonts for text in react

Currently only supports google fonts for now.

Install

npm i react-font

yarn add react-font

Components

<Font /> Apply font to child components

<Text /> uses <p /> instead of div

Props

family="Kufam" The name of the font you want to use.

weight={700} The weight of the font, 400 is normal, 700 is bold, not all fonts support all weights, check google fonts.

italic={true} If the font should be italic, not all fonts support it but css will still make any font slant to fake it.

onLoad: (family: string, style: string) => void Called when that font is loaded, parsed and display, useful to hide the text until it loads.

onError: (family: string, style: string) => void Called if the font fails to load, either a font family name was put in that doesnt exist or google fonts failed to response with the font.

onAllLoad: () => void Like onLoad but once all the fonts have loaded. Doesn't work on the <Text /> Component for some reason.

onAllError: () => void Like onError but if all the fonts dont load, eg if the user doesn't have internet and the font isnt cached.

Usage

Apply any font easily

import React from 'react'
import Font, { Text } from 'react-font'
 
const Example = () => {
  return (
    <Font family='Viga' onAllLoad={() => console.log('all loaded')}>
      <Font family='Ultra'>
        <h3>Easily apply fonts</h3>
      </Font>
      <Font family='Press Start 2P'>
        <p>Use any font from google fonts with ease</p>
        <p>
          Either wrap a large portion of the app in a Font or just use the font
          where you want
        </p>
      </Font>
      <p>
        No hassle with putting the link in the head tag or importing with css
