node-woff2

This is just a Node.js wrapper around Google's excellent woff2 utility.

Usage

If you're using npm:

npm install --save-dev woff2

Alternatively you can clone this repo and run npm install. Be sure to get the submodule dependency (use the --recursive flag when cloning). Note that you can't install directly from this repo because npm doesn't understand submodules.

Special thanks

nfroidure wrote a wrapper that converts TTF to WOFF2. I wanted something that could encode and decode though, so I recycled his bindings.gyp file, and the file ./src/woff2_encode.cc is more or less straight from his repository. In respect for his work this wrapper is also under the MIT license.
