flask_fontpicker

A Flask extension for Jquery-ui google font picker, it makes adding and customizing multiple font pickers simpler and less time consuming.

Install:

- With pip

• pip install Flask-Fontpicker
  

- From the source:

• git clone https://github.com/mrf345/flask_fontpicker.git
  
• cd flask_fontpicker
  
• python setup.py install

Setup:

- Inside Flask app:

from flask import Flask, render_template
from flask_bootstrap import Bootstrap
from flask_fontpicker import fontpicker

app = Flask(__name__)
Bootstrap(app)
fontpicker(app)

- Inside jinja template:

{% extends 'bootstrap/base.html' %}
{% block scripts %}
  {{ super() }}
  {{ fontpicker.loader() }} {# to load jQuery-ui #}
  {{ fontpicker.picker(ids=["#dp"]) }}
{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
  <form class="verticalform">
    <input type="text" id="dp" class="form-control" />
  </form>
{% endblock %}

Settings:

- Options:

The accepted arguments to be passed to the fontpicker.picker() function are as follow:

def picker(self, ids=["#fontpicker"], # list of identifiers will be passed to Jquery to select element
                  families='["Droid Sans", "Roboto", "Roboto Condensed", "Signika"]',
                  # list of the font families to be displayed
                  loadAll='true', # to load all the selected fonts
                  default='Roboto', # default font to load at first
                  urlCss='', # to load fonts with local css file
                  spaceChar='+'): # spacing character used in local css file

- Local source:

by default the extension will load Jquery-ui plugin from a remote CDN. Although you can configure that to be locally through passing a list of .js and .css files into the fontpicker module like such:

fontpicker(app=app, local=[
  'static/js/jquery-ui.js', 
  'static/css/jquery-ui.css', 
  'static/js/webfont.js',
  'static/css/webfont.select.css',
  'static/js/webfont.select.js'
  ])

The order in-which the items of list are passed is not of importance, it will be auto detected via file extension
