Custom Font v0.12.0+

OverView

Weex provide the ability of loading custom through DOM.addRule. Developers can load iconfont and custom font by specifying the font-family.

API

Developers may use the following code snippet to load their font:

const domModule = weex.requireModule('dom')
domModule.addRule('fontFace', {
    'fontFamily': "iconfont2",
    'src': "url('http://at.alicdn.com/t/font_1469606063_76593.ttf')"
});

The parameter of Add Rule is illustrated as following:

• fontFace You should not change this as this is the name of the font rule
• fontFamily You should provide the name of your font-family there, the valid name should be a string.
• src The src of your custom font, and url('') is reserved for protocol reason, the supported parameters are listed below:
  • http. Read from http, e.g. url('http://at.alicdn.com/t/font_1469606063_76593.ttf')
  • https. Read from https, e.g. url('https://at.alicdn.com/t/font_1469606063_76593.ttf')
  • local, Android ONLY. Read from assets directory e.g. url('local://foo.ttf'), the foo.ttf is in your android assets directory.
  • file. Read from a local file, e.g. url('file://storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.alibaba.weex/cache/http:__at.alicdn.com_t_font_1469606063_76593.ttf')
  • data. Read from a base64 data source, e.g. url('data:font/truetype;charset=utf-8;base64,AAEAAAALAIAAAwAwR1NVQrD+....'), the above data field is only a part of the actual data.

Note

Note: You can name fontFamily in addRule as you wish in your page, any string is OK. But this is not the real font-family name of the font file. The real name or system name for the font is stored in binrary data of ttf file. You must ensure that the real font-family name of font file is unique. Or your font may not be successfully registered to device and your text may display as a ‘?’.

Note: Specially, if you are using http://www.iconfont.cn/ to build your iconfont. Make sure that you set a unique enough font-family name for your font in project settings.

Note: Calling addRule in beforeCreate is recommended.
