Methods
Method
Description
findFirst
findFirst(name: string): Promise<FontId>
Returns a promise that is resolved with the font identifier of a requested name or null if none was found. See Also: FontsModule.findUsingPattern, FontsModule.getAll.
findUsingPattern
findUsingPattern(namePattern: string): Promise<Array<FontId>> findUsingPattern(namePattern: string, config: {limit: number}): Promise<Array<FontId>>
Returns a promise that is resolved with the all of the font identifiers matching the name pattern or empty array if none was found.
Pattern format: * matches any characters sequence. \ can be used to include in pattern any of the control characters (including '\' itself)
Examples: findUsingPattern("*") will retrive all of the font identifiers. findUsingPattern("*A") will retrieve all of the font identifiers suffixed with 'A'. findUsingPattern("A*") will retrieve all of the font identifiers prefixed with 'A'. findUsingPattern("*A*", {limit: 10}) will retrieve at most 10 of the font identifiers containing 'A',
limit parameter describes if findUsingPattern should finish the search if it finds specified number of results (default is no limit). Non-positive values for limit are treated as unlimited.
See Also: FontsModule.getAll, FontsModule.findFirst.
get
get(fontName: string): FontId
Returns a font object identified by the fontName argument.
Throws an exception if there is no such font in the project.
getAll
getAll(): Promise<Array<FontId>>
Returns a promise that is resolved with all of the font identifiers. See Also: FontsModule.findUsingPattern, FontsModule.findFirst.

`findFirst`	`findFirst(name: string): Promise<FontId>` Returns a promise that is resolved with the font identifier of a requested name or null if none was found. See Also: `FontsModule.findUsingPattern`, `FontsModule.getAll`.
`findUsingPattern`	`findUsingPattern(namePattern: string): Promise<Array<FontId>> findUsingPattern(namePattern: string, config: {limit: number}): Promise<Array<FontId>>` Returns a promise that is resolved with the all of the font identifiers matching the name pattern or empty array if none was found. Pattern format: `` matches any characters sequence. `\` can be used to include in pattern any of the control characters (including '\' itself) Examples: `findUsingPattern("")` will retrive all of the font identifiers. `findUsingPattern("A")` will retrieve all of the font identifiers suffixed with 'A'. `findUsingPattern("A")` will retrieve all of the font identifiers prefixed with 'A'. `findUsingPattern("A", {limit: 10})` will retrieve at most 10 of the font identifiers containing 'A', `limit` parameter describes if `findUsingPattern` should finish the search if it finds specified number of results (default is no limit). Non-positive values for limit are treated as unlimited. See Also: `FontsModule.getAll`, `FontsModule.findFirst`.
`get`	`get(fontName: string): FontId` Returns a font object identified by the `fontName` argument. Throws an exception if there is no such font in the project.
