Font Picker

import "@taprootio/espalier/font-picker";

<esp-font-picker>

Font picker component backed by the Google Fonts catalog by default.

The font catalog is loaded at runtime from a build-generated font-definitions.json file served alongside the individual font CSS files. Run npm run build-fonts to generate both assets.

Set font-source="web-safe" for email editors or other places where the picker should offer only CSS font stacks that do not need font downloads.

Required setup:

  1. Serve the css/fonts/ directory under a public path.
  2. Point <esp-root font-css-root="/your/path/"> at that path.

Attributes

<esp-font-picker> has the following attributes:

category

category has a default value of null.

Category of fonts to display in the picker.

If not set, all font categories are displayed.

font-source

font-source has a default value of "google".

Source of fonts to display. google preserves the default Google Fonts catalog behavior. web-safe shows email-safe/system CSS font stacks and does not load Google font assets.

value

value has a default value of "".

The selected font family or CSS font stack.

In the default Google Fonts mode this is the font family name, such as "Aclonica". In font-source="web-safe" mode this is the full CSS font stack, such as "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif", so pre-selection via the value attribute must use the stack value.

placeholder

placeholder has a default value of "Choose a font...".

The placeholder text for the picker input.

intent

intent has a default value of undefined.

The element's intent — its meaning: neutral (no pin), or success, warning, danger, info — each pinned to its fixed status family (blue for info), retunable per theme via intents. On token-emitting controls a non-neutral intent pins the filled-action pair to that family, derived over the governing zone's theme; class-styled chrome (badges, callouts, status pills) opts out of inline emission and renders its treatment from CSS classes instead. An intent never repaints the surrounding zone, which is what contexts are for. Removing the attribute restores the element's own default intent.

context

context has a default value of undefined.

A theme-defined color zone. The selected context rebinds designer-facing roles and emits a complete, contrast-enforced semantic token table on this host for descendants to inherit.

Methods

<esp-font-picker> has the following methods:

focus

Focus the picker input.

traverseToClosest

Traverse up the DOM tree to find the closest element that matches the selector. This method is aware of shadow DOM boundaries and will traverse through them to find the element.

Events

<esp-font-picker> emits the following events:

esp-value-changed

esp-value-changed is of type CustomEvent<FontPickerValueChangedDetail>.

Fired when the user selects a font
