Library

This package is compatible with Node 0.12 and above.

const downloader = require('goog-webfont-dl')
// or
import downloader from 'goog-webfont-dl'

const css = downloader('Some Font name')
// or
const css = downloader({
  // required:
  font: 'Some Font name',
  // defaults:
  formats:     downloader.formats, // Font formats.
  destination: font,               // Save font here
  out:         null, // = return   // CSS file. Use '-' for stdout, and nothing to return the CSS code
  prefix:      `../fonts/${font}`, // Prefix to use in CSS output
  subset:      null, // = none     // Subset string/array, e.g. 'latin,cyrillic'
  styles:      downloader.styles,  // Style string/array, e.g. '300,400,300italic,400italic'
  proxy:       null, // = none     // Proxy url, e.g. 'https://myproxy.com'
})

Since Array.prototype.toString works by joining array elements with commas, subset or styles can be specified as array as well.
