`svgicons2svgfont` is a simple tool to merge
multiple icons to an SVG font.

'rect', 'line', 'circle', 'ellipsis', 'polyline' and 'polygon' shapes will be
converted to pathes. Multiple pathes will be merged.

Transform attributes support is currenly experimental,
[report issues if any](https://github.com/nfroidure/svgicons2svgfont/issues/6).

You can test this library with the
[frontend generator](http://nfroidure.github.io/svgiconfont/).

You may want to convert fonts to icons, if so use
[svgfont2svgicons](https://github.com/nfroidure/svgfont2svgicons).

## Usage

### In your scripts

```js
const SVGIcons2SVGFontStream = require('svgicons2svgfont');
const fs = require('fs');
const fontStream = new SVGIcons2SVGFontStream({
  fontName: 'hello',
});

// Setting the font destination
fontStream
  .pipe(fs.createWriteStream('fonts/hello.svg'))
  .on('finish', function () {
    console.log('Font successfully created!');
  })
  .on('error', function (err) {
    console.log(err);
  });

// Writing glyphs
const glyph1 = fs.createReadStream('icons/icon1.svg');
glyph1.metadata = {
  unicode: ['\uE001\uE002'],
  name: 'icon1',
};
fontStream.write(glyph1);

// Multiple unicode values are possible
const glyph2 = fs.createReadStream('icons/icon1.svg');
glyph2.metadata = {
  unicode: ['\uE002', '\uEA02'],
  name: 'icon2',
};
fontStream.write(glyph2);

// Either ligatures are available
const glyph3 = fs.createReadStream('icons/icon1.svg');
glyph3.metadata = {
  unicode: ['\uE001\uE002'],
  name: 'icon1-icon2',
};
fontStream.write(glyph3);

// Do not forget to end the stream
fontStream.end();
```

## CLI interface

All options are available except the `log` one by using this pattern:
`--{LOWER_CASE(optionName)}={optionValue}`.

```sh
svgicons2svgfont --fontname=hello -o font/destination/file.svg icons/directory/*.svg
```

Note that you won't be able to customize icon names or icons unicodes by
passing options but by using the following convention to name your icons files:
`${icon.unicode}-${icon.name}.svg` where `icon.unicode` is a comma separated
list of unicode strings (ex: 'uEA01,uE001,uE001uE002', note that the last
string is in fact a ligature).

There is a few more options for the CLI interface, you can list all of them:

```txt
svgicons2svgfont --help

#    -w, --fixedWidth            creates a monospace font of the width of the largest input icon
#    -c, --centerhorizontally    calculate the bounds of a glyph and center it horizontally
#    -y, --centervertically      centers the glyphs vertically in the generated font.
#    -n, --normalize             normalize icons by scaling them to the height of the highest icon
#    -p, --preserveAspectRatio   used with normalize to scale down glyph if the SVG width is greater than the height
#    -h, --height [value]        the output font height [MAX(icons.height)] (icons will be scaled so the highest has this height)
#    -r, --round [value]         setup the SVG path rounding [10e12]
#    -d, --descent [value]       the font descent [0]

## API

### new SVGIcons2SVGFontStream(options)

#### options.fontName

Type: `String`
Default value: `'iconfont'`

The font family name you want.

#### options.fontId

Type: `String`
Default value: the options.fontName value

The font id you want.

#### options.fontStyle

Type: `String`
Default value: `''`

The font style you want.

#### options.fontWeight

Type: `String`
Default value: `''`

The font weight you want.

#### options.fixedWidth

Type: `Boolean`
Default value: `false`

Creates a monospace font of the width of the largest input icon.

#### options.centerHorizontally

Type: `Boolean`
Default value: `false`

Calculate the bounds of a glyph and center it horizontally.

#### options.centerVertically

Type: `Boolean`
Default value: `false`

Centers the glyphs vertically in the generated font.

#### options.normalize

Type: `Boolean`
Default value: `false`

Normalize icons by scaling them to the height of the highest icon.

#### options.preserveAspectRatio

Type: `Boolean`
Default value: `false`

Used with normalize to scale down glyph if the SVG width is greater than the height.

#### options.fontHeight

Type: `Number`
Default value: `MAX(icons.height)`
The outputted font height (defaults to the height of the highest input icon).

#### options.round

Type: `Number`
Default value: `10e12`
Setup SVG path rounding.

#### options.descent

Type: `Number`
Default value: `0`

The font descent. It is usefull to fix the font baseline yourself.

**Warning:** The descent is a positive value!

#### options.ascent

Type: `Number`
Default value: `fontHeight - descent`

The font ascent. Use this options only if you know what you're doing. A suitable
value for this is computed for you.

#### options.metadata

Type: `String`
Default value: `undefined`

The font [metadata](http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/metadata.html). You can set any
character data in but it is the be suited place for a copyright mention.

#### options.metadataProvider

Default value: `require('svgicons2svgfont/src/metadata')(options)`

A function which determines the metadata for an icon. It takes a parameter `file` with an icon svg and should return
icon metadata (asynchronously) via the callback function. You can use this function to provide custom logic for svg to
codepoint mapping.

|                    |                                                                                          |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `metadata.path`    | The path to the icon file. (The original `file` param is the file was not moved.)        |
| `metadata.name`    | The name of the icon                                                                     |
| `metadata.unicode` | The unicode codepoints corresponding to this glyph. Each should be a 1-codepoint string. |
| `metadata.renamed` | Wether the original file was moved (e.g. to prefix it with its unicode codepoint)        |

#### options.log

Type: `Function`
Default value: `console.log`

Allows you to provide your own logging function. Set to `function(){}` to
disable logging.
