# font-list

`font-list` is a Node.js package for listing the fonts available on your system.

Current version supports **MacOS**, **Windows**, and **Linux**.

## Install

```bash

npm install font-list

```

## Usage

```js

const fontList = require('font-list')

fontList.getFonts()

  .then(fonts => {

    console.log(fonts)

  })

  .catch(err => {

    console.log(err)

  })

```

or like this in TypeScript:

```ts

import { getFonts } from 'font-list'

getFonts()

  .then(fonts => {

    console.log(fonts)

  })

  .catch(err => {

    console.log(err)

  })

```

The return value `fonts` is an Array, looks like:

```

[ '"Adobe Arabic"',

  '"Adobe Caslon Pro"',

  '"Adobe Devanagari"',

  '"Adobe Fan Heiti Std"',

  '"Adobe Fangsong Std"',

  'Arial',

  ...

  ]

```

If the font name contains spaces, the name will be wrapped in double quotes, otherwise there will be no double quotes,

for example: `'"Adobe Arabic"'`, `'Arial'`.

If you don't want font names that contains spaces to be wrapped in double quotes, pass the options object

with `disableQuoting` set to true when calling the method `getFonts`:

```js

const fontList = require('font-list')

fontList.getFonts({ disableQuoting: true })

  .then(fonts => {

    console.log(fonts)

  })

  .catch(err => {

    console.log(err)

  })

```
