This is a really simple component that can automatically handle loading Google fonts for you.
You simply pass it a config array and it will load the fonts for you by appending a <link />
tag to the document head. It will update itself if the config changes, and will remove itself on unmount.
Install with either yarn or npm:
yarn add react-google-font-loader
npm install --save react-google-font-loader
// Import the Component, you can call it whatever you like.
import GoogleFontLoader from 'react-google-font-loader';
const App = () => (
<>
{/* Use it! */}
<GoogleFontLoader fonts={[
{
font: 'Roboto',
weights: [400],
},
{
font: 'Roboto Mono',
weights: [400, 700],
},
]} />
<p style={{ fontFamily: 'Roboto Mono, monospaced' }}>This will be in Roboto Mono!</p>
<p style={{ fontFamily: 'Roboto, sans-serif' }}>This will be in Roboto!</p>
</>
);
The Component takes one prop: fonts
. It should be an array of objects describing the fonts you want to load.
[
{
font: 'Roboto Mono', // The name of the font on Google Fonts.
weights: [400, 700], // An array of weights you want to load.
},
// ...
// You can include as many of these objects as you want.
]
