material-icons-subset

Creates a new font with a subset of icons from Material Design Icons Webfont

This library uses webfont to create the subset and @mdi/svg as the source.

Install

npm i material-icons-subset

How to use

You can pass a list of icon names to be included in the font as arguments in the command line:

material-icons-subset camera menu account-outline email archive 

Or, you can pass the path for a config.json file:

material-icons-subset font-config.json 

The config.json file must have an array called icons with the name of the icons to be include in the font:

{
   "icons": [
      "camera",
      "menu",
      "account-outline",
      "tune",
      "bookmark-outline",
      "pause",
      "arrow-left",
      "archive",
      "email"]
}

Configuration

You can also use the config.json to configure:

{
  "formats": ["ttf"], //ttf, woff, woff2
  "fontName": "Material Design Icons",
  "fontFile": "materialdesignicons",
  "dest": ".",
  "icons": [...]

These are the default values.

The following config.json are accepted.

{"icons": [...], ...}}

{"material-icons-subset": {"icons": [...], ...}}

{"extra": {"icons": [...], ...}}

{"extra": {"material-icons-subset": {"icons": [...], ...}}}

In this way, package.json or app.json can be used to configuration.

Result

By default, the library will create two files: materialdesignicons-subset.ttf and materialdesignicons-subset.json with the GlyphMap.

The GlyphMap file can be used with libraries like react-native-vector-icons with the alias configuration in the bundler for the font and for the GlyphMap. In this library this font is called MaterialComunityIcons.
