Ignite: [RFC] An easy way/script to include fonts

[GantMan]

rnpm can include fonts if they are in an imported package... I'm interested in a way to use that, or other means to include fonts in Android/iOS from an command in the current project.

That's a great idea.

ignite font add ~/Downloads/comicsans.ttf

Ya, this would be awesome. I could have used this on every project. Anyone want to tackle this as an Ignite 2 plugin?

Any workaround for this?

I'd love to have help with this.

ignite font --help
ignite font add ~/Downloads/comicsans.ttf
ignite font remove comicsans
ignite font list

That would be a great addition to Ignite.

You'd need to add a command, in the src/commands folder:

  |- commands
      |- font
          |- font.ts
          |- add.ts
          |- remove.ts
          |- list.ts

Something like that.

Hey everyone, I believe this is no longer something Ignite should be concerned about as react-native link will handle any fonts/assets added to the package.json.

  "rnpm": {
    "assets": [
      "./src/theme/fonts/"
    ]
  }
