greenwood-plugin-font-awesome

Overview

A Greenwood plugin for managing Font Awesome related dependencies and assets for building and development.

---

This plugin is useful because Font Awesome references its font files relatively.

@font-face {
  font-family: 'FontAwesome';
  src: url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?v=4.7.0');
  src: url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?#iefix&v=4.7.0') format('embedded-opentype'), url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff2?v=4.7.0') format('woff2'), url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff?v=4.7.0') format('woff'), url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf?v=4.7.0') format('truetype'), url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.svg?v=4.7.0#fontawesomeregular') format('svg');
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
}

This means that these paths need to be resolved specifically to the right location in node_modules where the Font Awesome package is located. Additionally, this plugin ensures the font files are copied as part of the build process.
