Include Google Font in Angular 2 + Meteor Application

Newb to Angular 2 .

How to include Google font in my app. App Structure is

client
     |--app.ts
     |--main.ts
     |--index.html

IndexFile.html

<head></head>
<body style="font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;">
    <div class="container-fluid">
        <app-start>Loading...</app-start>
    </div>
</body>

Included link in head tag

<link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

but no effect has occurred, also created a JS file in client folder (font.js) and inserted code

  Meteor.startup(function() {

  WebFontConfig = {
    google: { families: [ 'Montserrat::latin' ] }
  };
  (function() {
    var wf = document.createElement('script');
    wf.src = 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/webfont/1/webfont.js';
    wf.type = 'text/javascript';
    wf.async = 'true';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
    s.parentNode.insertBefore(wf, s);
  })();

 })

But no effect.

Right way to include this font in my Angular 2 + Meteor Application

Solution

  • Found solution using @import
    Inserted this code in common_style.css file which I placed in public folder

    client
         |--app.ts
         |--main.ts
         |--index.html
    public
         |--styles
              |--common_style.css

    @import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat);

    And then on app.ts - main loader typescript file I have included the style

    @Component({
  selector:'app-start',
  template:`
        <div style=" font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;">
        <navbar></navbar>
        <router-outlet></router-outlet>
        <footer></footer>
        </div>
  `,
  directives : [ NavbarComponent,FooterComponent, ROUTER_DIRECTIVES ],
  providers  : [ ROUTER_PROVIDERS ]
})

    and got style on all the pages
