v-font

The directive v-font is used to integrate the fonts defined in the module options into the website.

To do this, the respective font must be retrieved via the $getFont method contained in the component scope (e.g. this).

Fonts are specified by family, weight and style and can be limited to elements and viewports via the options (media, selector).

Normally the directive activates the fonts only when the viewport is reached. It is recommended to use the property critical for components that are already initially contained in the viewport.

With critical component the fonts are preloaded and are initially active.
More information on critical components can be found here.

For multiple fonts, a list (Array) can be passed.

html

<!-- single definition -->
<element v-font="$getFont(…)">

<!-- multiple definitions -->
<element v-font="[
  $getFont(…),
  $getFont(…)
]">

$getFont(family, [weight, style, options])

$getFont is included as a plugin and can be accessed via any component scope.
Use $getFont in the v-font directive and create the relevant font definition.

options

Each definition can be modified in its behaviour via the options.
With the property media, the call of the font definition can be made dependent on the viewport. The property selector can be used to limit the font to elements (e.g. span, .class).
