🎨 Using Custom Fonts

Enhance the visual appeal of your cards by incorporating custom fonts. The discord-card-canvas library provides utility functions to easily load and register your own fonts, giving you full control over the typography of your banners.

Before you begin, ensure that you have the necessary fonts available in your project directory. You can include .ttf, .otf, or other supported font formats.

The library offers two primary functions for loading fonts:

1. loadFont: Loads a single font.
2. loadFonts: Loads multiple fonts at once.

1. Loading a Single Font with loadFont

Use the loadFont function to register an individual font. This is useful when you have a specific font to load.

import { loadFont } from 'discord-card-canvas';

// Register a single font
loadFont('./fonts/Inter-Regular.ttf', {
  family: 'Inter',
  weight: '400',
  style: 'normal',
});

Parameters:

• fontPath (string): Relative path to the font file.
• fontFace ({ family: string; weight?: string; style?: string }): Object describing the font properties.

Example Usage:

import { loadFont, BaseCardBuilder } from 'discord-card-canvas';

// Load the custom font
loadFont('./fonts/Roboto-Bold.ttf', {
  family: 'Roboto',
  weight: '700',
  style: 'normal',
});

// Create a card using the custom font
const card = await new BaseCardBuilder({
  mainText: {
    content: '- Main Text -',
    weight: '700',
    size: 45,
    color: '#0CA7FF',
    font: 'Roboto',
  },
  nicknameText: {
    content: 'Nickname',
    weight: '400',
    size: 40,
    color: '#0CA7FF',
    font: 'Roboto',
  },
  secondText: {
    content: 'Second Text',
    weight: '300',
    size: 35,
    color: '#0CA7FF',
    font: 'Roboto',
  },
}).build();

fs.writeFileSync('custom-font-card.png', card.toBuffer());

2. Loading Multiple Fonts with loadFonts

If you have multiple fonts to load, the loadFonts function simplifies the process by allowing you to register all fonts in a single call.

import { loadFonts } from 'discord-card-canvas';

// Register multiple fonts
loadFonts([
  {
    path: './fonts/Inter-Regular.ttf',
    family: 'Inter',
    weight: '400',
    style: 'normal',
  },
  {
    path: './fonts/Inter-Bold.ttf',
    family: 'Inter',
    weight: '700',
    style: 'normal',
  },
  {
    path: './fonts/Roboto-Italic.ttf',
    family: 'Roboto',
    weight: '400',
    style: 'italic',
  },
]);

Parameters:

• fonts (FontDescriptor[]): An array of font descriptors.
• basePath (string, optional): Base path for all font files. Defaults to the current directory (__dirname).

FontDescriptor Interface:

interface FontDescriptor {
  path: string; // Relative path to the font file
  family: string; // Font family name
  weight?: string; // Font weight (e.g., '400', '700')
  style?: string; // Font style (e.g., 'normal', 'italic')
}

Example Usage:

import { loadFonts, RankCardBuilder } from 'discord-card-canvas';

// Load multiple custom fonts
loadFonts([
  {
    path: './fonts/Roboto-Bold.ttf',
    family: 'Roboto',
    weight: '700',
    style: 'normal',
  },
  {
    path: './fonts/Inter-SemiBold.ttf',
    family: 'Inter',
    weight: '600',
    style: 'normal',
  },
]);

// Create a rank card using the loaded fonts
const rankCard = await new RankCardBuilder({
  nicknameText: {
    content: 'ChampionX',
    font: 'Roboto',
    color: '#0CA7FF',
    size: 42,
    weight: '700',
  },
  avatarImgURL: 'URL.png',
  currentLvl: 25,
  currentRank: 1,
  currentXP: 5000,
  requiredXP: 10000,
  userStatus: 'online',
  fontDefault: 'Inter',
  backgroundColor: { background: '#000', bubbles: '#0CA7FF' },
}).build({ objectFit: 'cover' });

fs.writeFileSync('rank-custom-font.png', rankCard.toBuffer());

📌 Font Registration: Fonts must be registered before creating any card that uses them. Typically, load fonts at the entry point of your application.
