I'm making an Electron + React app, where the user should be able to provide his own fonts. Basically the user would put the fonts he wants to use in a folder next to the executable, and then the executable will read the folder and make those fonts useable.
Is this possible to do? All I could find was has to define custom fonts when I already know of their existence beforehand. But I don't.
So if this is possible, how?
Thanks!
To answerify my comment, you can use the CSS Font Loading API (link to tutorial), i.e.
const fontFace = new FontFace("SomeName", "LocalPath.woff2");
document.fonts.add(fontFace);

I'm a few months into web development so I apologize if I misunderstood anything.
What I did
I created a react-random-shapes package that would draw out random shapes as a React component. You can see an example here on my site or in the project page. Each time you refresh the page you'd get a new image. (Note: these pages use React.)
What I want to do next
The result I'm aiming for is to create an API (GET-only) on GitHub Pages that would return the dynamically generated svg file (so you can do something like
<img src="https://github.com/artt/react-random-shapes/blob?size=300&fill=red">
which would return a random blob for anyone who's interested in using. Alternatively, this API could return the svg path so the user could do whatever they want with it (e.g. animation).
The problem I have
Right now I know how to output an html page with the svg file, but not quite sure how to return just the svg (or json, etc.) part of it.
Thanks!
I am trying to do the same thing. I think your best bet would be to use a webserver on another platform like Heroku or, another good option, Replit.
I am developing an React native app and I am using some custom fonts in the app. I successfully imported installed liked the fonts and it is working fine. But one font name neusa not working(Not showing). When font is called it loading only default font. i am sure all custom fonts i am using is .ttf. All other fonts i downloaded from google fonts but not this one. can any one please suggest a way to fix it
The link i followed
If you are 100% that you followed the guide to the letter then the problem might be that you are using the wrong fontFamily. Not all fonts have the font family equalto their names. This happens a lot with FontAwesome.
Upload your font here: http://torinak.com/font/lsfont.html
It should tell you the fontFamily that you need to use. Otherwise you could log the font names that RN is detecting but that involves a little more work
I have a question related to React Native.
I have existing application that should be themed and theming should be part of the configurable settings. There should be 3 aspects of such theming: changing colors/theme, changing logo and add custom fonts
I see this is a way that there will be settings view where:
there will be possibility to upload image, image will be stored in filesystem in ios and android and then used as a brand logo
there will be multiple settings regarding some primary, secondary, buttons colors as hash values, or maybe some color picker component
The most complicated stuff is having custom fonts that can be configured by user in setting view of application. Anybody have experience with doing such a thing?
Any thought/suggestions in above points will be helpful. Like links to native libraries for both platform or any tips from more experiences React Native developers
The best ways I see to achieve what you want are :
Use https://github.com/itinance/react-native-fs to access file system so you can easily store and access the logo that the user want. If the image has some size restrictions you could as well store your image Base64 string in AsyncStorage but this is not recommended.
You can have a kind of theming system by using a global style file that your screens use, the values requested (for example "dark", "light" etc...) can be store in AsyncStorage.
Do you want the user to be able to use his own personal font ? I don't think this is possible. If you want to have multiple fonts and the user can choose which font will be used in a list for example you can follow this tutorial to install custom fonts : https://medium.com/#kswanie21/custom-fonts-in-react-native-tutorial-for-ios-android-76ceeaa0eb78. Then all you want to do is use your theming system to select the fontFamily that your text elements will be using !
Let me know if I'm not clear enough or you need advices, I recently did what you try to achieve :)
This thread works well in a mobile app but in a desktop app it would seem I cant add the reference to the external JS in an extjs desktop app.
The instructions from Sencha somehow don't correspond or it doesn't work for me when I try and follow them. So, I am selecting Resources->Library and can see the attribute Include JavaScript (ticked) and Library Base Path:/ext.
The JS file I am using I use in a phone app and its fine - I added it to the app.json in that and compiling the app copies the file over to the target and defers the loading.
In this case with SA I am not seeing the file copied to the target - nor can I follow the instructions with SA 3 that are documented. The only way I can add an external JS is by dropping it onto the filesystem into the ext folder manually. Again, it doesn't appear in the target and certainly errors when I run the app with
Uncaught ReferenceError: hex_sha512 is not defined
This JS has been used in other apps, is proved and tested but just relates to SA or my wrong use of SA.
The proper way to add a resource in Sencha Architect, regardless of framework, is to add it as a JS resource.
This is most easily done by hitting ctrl-t (or cmd-t on a mac) and typing "js resource" (or some shortened string thereof to get autocompletion)...
Alternatively, you can use the toolbox, click "Resources", and drag out or double click "JS Resource"
These are just different user interfaces to accomplish the same task.
Once you've added your JS resource using one of the above methods, you need to set the URL in the config pane (at bottom right unless you've configured Architect to swap the left and right panes)...
The URL is to be set relative to your project folder. If you copy the JS file into your project root under a folder called "lib" for example, then you'd set the url config to "lib/foo.js" - where foo.js is the filename, of course.
Hope that helps!
My lack of understanding of the instructions or they are not clear:
It would seem the way to do it is take eyes up to the top right of SA and spot the + button as shown in the image.
Add the JS resource and scroll up because it may be hidden behind the property inspector.
On setting the url field under properties, the source of the JS appears in the main editing window.
Certainly works fine after the app is built.
Im making a website using Drupal 7.
I just installed the 'Social Media' and 'Widgets' Modules.
Then I added the fb like box to the left sidebar region of my danblog theme.
As you can see the box overflows the block.
Can I solve it by some configuration or do I need to change the css manually?
I wanted to know where exactly can I find the CSS of these blocks so that I could try to change it?
There are so many .php files and some .css files in drupal.
If someone could please elaborate on some technique or some basic understanding by which I can find the styling of blocks in those php files as I assume they may not be in seperate .css files
Thanks
Quick fix not recommended:
#f3c805688 { width: 220px!important; }
You really don't want to use !important it works as a quick fix in this case, but the ideal fix would be to change the height of the iFrame before inserting it into the page via some backend interface. Does the social media module have an option to change the width?
