change the original font files to minimize.
Important
The main goal of this plugin is a minimize fonts and save easy use way on the page and in frameworks.

- Auto detect font ligatures by css
content: "."
- Support goggle font urls

Warning
When using the auto
type, the system identifies only CSS properties with content: "."
and attempts to extract all font ligatures from each font file.
Furthermore, in every build, the system recalculates a hash on font files since the plugin cannot
detect changes when dependent on Unicode.
It is strongly recommended to use the manual
type if these limitations are critical for your project
// vite.config.js
import FontExtractor from "vite-font-extractor-plugin";
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
FontExtractor() // by default use "auto" type
],
})
// vite.config.js
import FontExtractor from "vite-font-extractor-plugin";
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
FontExtractor({ type: 'auto', targets: [] }) // 'targets' is not required and can be undefined
],
})
// vite.config.js
import FontExtractor from "vite-font-extractor-plugin";
const MaterialIconRegularTarget = {
fontName: 'Material Icons',
ligatures: ['abc, close'],
}
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
FontExtractor({ type: 'manual', targets: MaterialIconRegularTarget}), // 'targets' is required
],
})
// main.js
import Vue from 'vue';
import App from './App.vue';
import Vuetify from "vuetify";
// First way to import fonts
import 'material-design-icons-iconfont/dist/material-design-icons-no-codepoints.css';
Vue.use(Vuetify)
export function createApp() {
const app = new Vue({
vuetify: new Vuetify({
icons: {
iconfont: 'md',
},
}),
render: (h) => h(App),

// vite.config.js
import FontExtractor from "vite-font-extractor-plugin";
const MaterialIconGoogleFontTarget = {
// Warning: "+" sign from url should be transformed to plain space sign
fontName: 'Material Icons', // 'Material+Icons' is wrong notation
ligatures: ['play_arrow', 'close'],
}
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
FontExtractor({targets: MaterialIconGoogleFontTarget}),
