### config
> Type: `config?: AutoConfOption`

Support for `.svgtofontrc` and [more](https://github.com/jaywcjlove/auto-config-loader/blob/add7ae012f5c3903296fbf0ef06e3631e379c2cc/core/README.md?plain=1#L106-L135) configuration files.
### log

A value of `false` disables logging
### logger
> Type: `(msg) => void`
log callback function
### dist
> Type: `String`
> Default value: ~~`dist`~~ => `fonts`
The output directory.
### outSVGReact
> Type: `Boolean`
> Default value: `false`
Output `./dist/react/`, SVG generates `react` components.

import React from 'react';
export const Git = props => (
);
```
### outSVGReactNative
> Type: `Boolean`
> Default value: `false`

const { name, ...rest } = props;
return (

const path = require('path');
async function generate () {
const outPath = await generateIconsSource({
src: path.resolve(process.cwd(), 'svg'),
dist: path.resolve(process.cwd(), 'dist'),
fontName: 'svgtofont',
});
}
generate();
```

> Type: `Boolean`
> Default value: `false`
Output `./dist/info.json`, The content is as follows:
```js
{
"adobe": {
"encodedCode": "\\ea01",
"prefix": "svgtofont",
"className": "svgtofont-adobe",
"unicode": ""
},
...
}
```
### src
> Type: `String`
> Default value: `svg`
output path
### emptyDist
> Type: `String`
> Default value: `false`
Clear output directory contents
### fontName
> Type: `String`
> Default value: `iconfont`
The font family name you want.
### styleTemplates
> Type: `String`
> Default value: `undefined`

how to create a template, file names can have the extension .template, like a `filename.scss.template`
### startUnicode
> Type: `Number`
> Default value: `0xea01`
unicode start number
### getIconUnicode
Get Icon Unicode
```ts
getIconUnicode?: (name: string, unicode: string, startUnicode: number)
=> [string, number];
```
### useNameAsUnicode
> Type: `Boolean`
> Default value: `false`
should the name(file name) be used as unicode? this switch allows for the support of ligatures.
let's say you have an svg with a file name of `add` and you want to use ligatures for it. you would set up your processing as mentioned above and turn on this switch.
```js
{
...
useNameAsUnicode: true
}
```
while processing, instead of using a single sequential char for the unicode, it uses the file name. using the file name as the unicode allows the following code to work as expected.
```css
.icons {
font-family: 'your-font-icon-name' !important;
font-size: 16px;
font-style: normal;
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
}
```
```html
add
```
as you add more svgs and process them into your font you would just use the same pattern.
```html
add
remove
edit
```
### addLigatures
> Type: `Boolean`
> Default value: `false`
adds possibility to use name (file name) in addition to codepoints. adds support of ligatures.
let's say you have some svgs and you want to use codepoints but for some of them for example with a file name of `add` you want to use ligatures for it. this option only adds ligatures and still allows for using codepoints as usual. this is in contrary to useNameAsUnicode which basically removes support for codepoints in favour of ligatures.
```js
{
...
addLigatures: true
}
```
### useCSSVars
> Type: `Boolean`
> Default value: `false`
consoles whenever {{ cssString }} template outputs unicode characters or css vars
### classNamePrefix
> Type: `String`
> Default value: font name
Create font class name prefix, default value font name.
### css
> Type: `Boolean|CSSOptions`
> Default value: `false`
Create CSS/LESS files, default `true`.
```ts
type CSSOptions = {
/**
* Output the css file to the specified directory
*/
output?: string;
/**
* Which files are exported.
*/
include?: RegExp;
/**
* Setting font size.
*/
fontSize?: string | boolean;
/**
* Set the path in the css file
* https://github.com/jaywcjlove/svgtofont/issues/48#issuecomment-739547189
*/
cssPath?: string;
/**
* Set file name
* https://github.com/jaywcjlove/svgtofont/issues/48#issuecomment-739547189
*/
fileName?: string;
/**
* Ad hoc template variables.
*/
templateVars?: Record;
/**
* When including CSS files in a CSS file,
* you can add a timestamp parameter or custom text to the file path to prevent browser caching issues and ensure style updates are applied. @default true
* @example `path/to/iconfont.css?t=1612345678`
*/
hasTimestamp?: boolean | string;
}
```

svgtofont.json
svgtofont.less
svgtofont.module.less
svgtofont.scss
svgtofont.styl

svgtofont.woff2
symbol.html
```
Preview demo `font-class.html`, `symbol.html` and `index.html`. Automatically generated style `svgtofont.css` and `svgtofont.less`.
### symbol svg
```xml
```
### Unicode
```html
.iconfont {
font-family: "svgtofont-iconfont" !important;
font-size: 16px;
font-style: normal;
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.2px;
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
}
```
### Class Name
Support for `.less` and `.css` styles references.
```html
```
### Using With React
Icons are used as components. `v3.16.7+` support.
```jsx
import { Adobe, Alipay } from '@uiw/icons';
```
#### In the project created by [create-react-app](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app)
```jsx
import logo from './logo.svg';
```
```jsx
import { ReactComponent as ComLogo } from './logo.svg';
```
#### In the project created by [webpack](https://github.com/webpack/webpack)
```bash
yarn add babel-plugin-named-asset-import
yarn add @svgr/webpack
```
```js
// webpack.config.js
[
require.resolve('babel-plugin-named-asset-import'),
{
loaderMap: {
svg: {
ReactComponent: '@svgr/webpack?-svgo,+ref![path]',
},
},
},
],
```
```jsx
import { ReactComponent as ComLogo } from './logo.svg';
```
### Using With ReactNative
A unique component named after the font name is generated.
Props are TextProps and are used as inline style.
In addition, the iconName prop is mandatory and refers to svg names written in camelCase
```jsx
SvgToFont.jsx
// ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
import { SvgToFont } from './SvgToFont';
```
```ts
SvgToFont.d.ts
// ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
import { TextStyle } from 'react-native';
export type SvgToFontIconNames = 'git'| 'adobe'| 'demo' | 'left' | 'styleInline'
export interface SvgToFontProps extends Omit {
iconName: SvgToFontIconNames
}
export declare const SvgToFont: (props: SvgToFontProps) => JSX.Element;
```
