Fonts

use-googlefonts

The easiest way to include fonts and also allow users to change them is via our custom React Hook:

yarn add @flyyer/use-googlefonts

Note: this hook is only available for Flyyer decks created with the React preset.

import React from "react";import { TemplateProps } from "@flyyer/types";import { Variable as V, Validator, Static } from "@flyyer/variables";import { useGoogleFonts, GoogleFontsStatus } from "@flyyer/use-googlefonts";
export const schema = V.Object({  font: V.Font({    default: 'Bebas Neue',    examples: ['Bebas Neue', 'Bitter', 'Dela Gothic One', 'Heebo'],    description: "Main text's font"  }),});type Variables = Static<typeof schema>;
const validator = new Validator(schema);
export default function MyTemplate(props: TemplateProps<Variables>) {  const {    data: { font },  } = validator.parse(props.variables);
  const googleFont = useGoogleFonts([{    family: font,    styles: [200, 400, 600, 800],  }]);
  return (    <div className={googleFont.status === GoogleFontsStatus.LOADING && "flyyer-wait"}>      Using font: {font}    <div/>  );}

See https://github.com/useflyyer/flyyer-marketplace-nicetypography for a deck in production using this hook.

The next easiest way to include fonts is via SCSS:

styles/style.scss

@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:300,400,500,600,700,800,900");
.text {  font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;}

From files

note

If you need a tool to generate the @font-face definitions we recommend: https://google-webfonts-helper.herokuapp.com/

We are working on making fonts easier to import. But at the moment this is how you can import custom fonts.

Grab your custom font as .woff and .woff2 format and place them inside a directory. Let's call that directory /fonts on the root of your repository.

Terminal.app

mkdir fonts

DECK-NAME/│   ...├── fonts/│   ├── ibm-plex-sans-v7-latin-600.woff2│   └── ibm-plex-sans-v7-latin-regular.woff2│   ...

Create a style file and add the corresponding @font-face.

Terminal.app

mkdir stylestouch styles/fonts.css

styles/fonts.css

/* ibm-plex-sans-regular - latin */@font-face {  font-family: 'IBM Plex Sans';  font-style: normal;  font-weight: 400;  src: local('IBM Plex Sans'), local('IBMPlexSans'),        url('../fonts/ibm-plex-sans-v7-latin-regular.woff2') format('woff2');}/* ibm-plex-sans-600 - latin */@font-face {  font-family: 'IBM Plex Sans';  font-style: normal;  font-weight: 600;  src: local('IBM Plex Sans SemiBold'), local('IBMPlexSans-SemiBold'),        url('../fonts/ibm-plex-sans-v7-latin-600.woff2') format('woff2');}

Done! Now you can use your custom fonts.

templates/main.js

import React from "react"import styled from "styled-components"
const Title = styled.h1`  font-family: "IBM Plex Sans",sans-serif;  font-weight: 600;`;
