import webfont from "webfont";



webfont({

  files: "src/svg-icons/**/*.svg",

  fontName: "my-font-name",

})

  .then((result) => {

    // Do something with result

    Function.prototype(result);

    // Or return it

    return result;

  })

  .catch((error) => {

    throw error;

  });

```



or

- Type: `string`

- Description: Path to a specific configuration file `(JSON, YAML, or CommonJS)` or the name of a module in `node_modules` that points to one.

  1. a `webfont` property in `package.json`

  2. a `.webfontrc` file (with or without filename extension: `.json`, `.yaml`, and `.js` are available)

  });

  ```



  Or



  ```js

  webfont({

    template: path.resolve(__dirname, "./my-template.css"),

## Command Line Interface



The interface for command-line usage is fairly simplistic at this stage, as seen in the following usage section.



### CLI Installation



Add the `cli` script to your `package.json` file's `scripts` object:



```json

{

  "scripts": {

    "webfont": "node node_modules/webfont/dist/cli.js"

  }

}

```



If you're using cross-env:



```json

{

  "scripts": {

    "webfont": "cross-env node_modules/webfont/dist/cli.js"

  }

}

```



### CLI Usage



```shell
