Angular Font Picker

This is a simple font picker loosely based on the cool angular2-color-picker by Alberplz.

This documentation is for the latest 5/6.x.x version which requires Angular 5 or newer. For Angular 4 you need to use the latest 4.x.x version. Documentation for the 4.x.x can be found from here.

Load the module for your app (with global configuration):

Global configuration should be provided only once (this is usually done in the root module).

import { FontPickerModule } from 'ngx-font-picker';
import { FONT_PICKER_CONFIG } from 'ngx-font-picker';
import { FontPickerConfigInterface } from 'ngx-font-picker';

const DEFAULT_FONT_PICKER_CONFIG: FontPickerConfigInterface = {
  // Change this to your Google API key
  apiKey: 'AIzaSyA9S7DY0khhn9JYcfyRWb1F6Rd2rwtF_mA'
};

@NgModule({
  ...
  imports: [
    ...
    FontPickerModule
  ],
  providers: [
    {
      provide: FONT_PICKER_CONFIG,
      useValue: DEFAULT_FONT_PICKER_CONFIG
    }
  ]
})

Use it in your HTML template (for example in div element):

<div #fontPickerElement=ngxFontPicker [(fontPicker)]="font" [fpWidth]="'320px'" [fpPosition]="'bottom'">
  Click to open the font picker
</div>

[(fontPicker)]               // Selected font ({family, size, style, styles, files}).

[fpPosition]                 // Position of the font picker (Default: 'bottom').

                             //   popup: dialog is shown as popup (fixed positioning).
                             //   inline: dialog is shown permanently (static positioning).

[fpUseRootViewContainer]     // Create dialog component in the root view container (false).
                             // Note: The root component needs to have public viewContainerRef.

Available configuration options (for the global configuration):

apiKey                       // Your Google API key for the Google Web Fonts API.

loadFont(font)               // Loads the given font (family:style) from Web Fonts.

getAllFonts(sort)            // Returns list of Google Fonts with given sort option:
                             // 'alpha' | 'date' | 'popularity' | 'style' | 'trending'

Available control / helper functions (provided by the directive):

loadFont(font)               // Loads the (font.family:font.style) form Web Fonts.

openDialog()                 // Opens the font picker dialog if not already open.
closeDialog()                // Closes the font picker dialog if not already closed.

Accessing the Font Picker directive by using a ViewChild reference:

@ViewChild('fontPickerElement', {static: true})
fontPicker: FontPickerDirective;
  
closeFontPicker(field: string): void {
  this.fontPicker.closeDialog();
}
