@downpourdigital/bmfont-loader v0.0.1

bmfont-loader

A webpack loader for inlining JSON formatted bmfonts.

The JSON data is internally packed into a slightly smaller format and unpacked on the client.

Installation

yarn add --dev @downpourdigital/bmfont-loader

npm i --dev @downpourdigital/bmfont-loader

Usage

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
	module: {
		rules: [
			{
				test: /\.(bmfont)$/,
				loader: '@downpourdigital/bmfont-loader',
			},
		],
	},
};

file.js

import TestFont from 'TestFont-Regular.bmfont';

TestFont.font; // the actual bmfont data
TestFont.metrics; // some metrics

Metrics

Some additional metrics are exported:

{
	capHeight: number;
	xHeight: number;
	ascenderHeight: number;
	descenderHeight: number;
}

All metrics are relative to font size 1.

If you only want to export metrics and omit the actual bmfont data, add ?metricsOnly to the end of your import statement, i.e.

import TestFont from 'TestFont-Regular.bmfont?metricsOnly';

TestFont.font; // undefined
TestFont.metrics; // some metrics

Typescript

bmfont-loader comes with type declarations for your imported fonts. To include them, add the folowing to your tsconfig.json:

{
	"include" : [
		// ...
		"./node_modules/@downpourdigital/bmfont-loader/dist/import.d.ts"
	]
}

Now, all imports ending in .bmfont will appear properly typed.
