[//]: # (::contents:start)

This is a NodeJS wrapper for the Google [WOFF2](https://github.com/google/woff2)
project. If the C++ wrapper compilation fail, it
[fallbacks to an Emscripten build](http://insertafter.com/en/blog/native-node-module.html).

## Usage

### CLI

Install `ttf2woff2` globally, then:

```sh
cat font.ttf | ttf2woff2 > font.woff2
```

On Windows without `cat`, use (in PowerShell):

```pwsh
Start-Process -NoNewWindow -Wait ttf2woff2.cmd -RedirectStandardInput font.ttf -RedirectStandardOutput font.woff2
# OR
start-process -nnw -wait ttf2woff2.cmd -rsi font.ttf -rso font.woff2
```

### API

```js
import { readFile, writeFile } from 'node:fs/promises';
import ttf2woff2 from 'ttf2woff2';

const input = await readFile('font.ttf');

await writeFile('font.woff2', ttf2woff2(input));
```

## Development

To build the binary, clone the repository and run the following:

```
## Setup (works for Ubuntu/Linux, may be different on other OS)
apt-get install make g++

## Actual build
npm i
npm run configure
npm run make
```

To build the Emscripten fallback, install [Emscripten](https://emscripten.org/) and run:

```
npm run emcc
```

Finally the build can be tested:
```sh
npm run build
npm t
```
