import...

if you use ES-modules in the browser:

import { initFont } from 'node_modules/tinyfont/src/index.js';
// Load the desired font
import { font } from 'node_modules/tinyfont/src/fonts/pixel.js';

if you use Common JS or ES modules with a bundler like webpack or rollup:

import { initFont, font } from 'tinyfont';

render:

// Get the canvas context
const ctx = document.querySelector('canvas').getContext('2d');

// Init the tinyfont and get the `render` function
const render = initFont(font, ctx);

// Show the string on the screen
render('Simple example');
render('Complex stuff', 100, 100, 50, 'red');

render function signature:

render(string, x, y, size, color)

• x: horizontal coordinate, px (default: 0)
• y: vertical coordinate, px (default: 0)
• size: font height, px (default: 24)
• color: font color, string (default: '#000')

use different fonts:

Builtin fonts:

• pixel (default, based on Pixel Font)
• tiny (Based on game over Font)

import from a browser:

import { font } from 'node_modules/tinyfont/src/fonts/tiny.js';

import using a bundler:

import { initFont, font } from 'tinyfont/font-tiny';
