List of options

icons

Type: Array<Object>

Example:

{
    name: 'www-font-o', // className of icon
    file: 'abc.svg',    // fileName of icon
    codepoint: 61441    // unicode of icon
}

writeFiles

Type: Boolean

Default: true

It is possible to not create font files but get the attribute d of each icon svg. The attribute d contains all paths' information of an icon, which can be use to draw a svg icon.

readFiles

Type: Boolean

Default: true

You can only use attribute d to create font files! If this param is false, the Object in param icons should have attribute d.

fontName

Type: String

Default: 'iconfont'

Name of font and font files.

startCodePoint

Type: Number

Default: 0xF000

Start of font's unicode in DEC(e.g. 61441) or HEX(e.g. 0xF001). When passing options without icons, builder will use startCodePoint as the first unicode of font icon, and the unicode of each remaining icons will increased by one in order.
