Once set up, install the package from the registry:

```shell script
yarn add @theoryofnekomata/react-musical-keyboard
```

## Usage

Basic usage is as follows, rendering the keyboard range of a modern grand piano (88 keys, from A0 to C8):

```jsx harmony
import * as React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'

const App = () => {
return (
<div>
<Keyboard startKey={21} endKey={108}/>
<Keyboard
startKey={21}
endKey={108}
/>
</div>
)
}

const container = window.document.createElement('div')

window.document.body.appendChild(container)

ReactDOM.render(<App />, container)
```

The library also supports keyboard maps for handling mouse, touch, and keyboard events:

```jsx harmony
import * as React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
import Keyboard, { KeyboardMap } from '@theoryofnekomata/react-musical-keyboard'

const App = () => {
const handleKeysChange = keys => {
// TODO handle key change: send MIDI events, play audio samples, etc.
}

return (
<div>
<Keyboard
startKey={21}
endKey={108}
>
<KeyboardMap
channel={0}
onChange={handleKeysChange}
/>
</Keyboard>
</div>
)
}

const container = window.document.createElement('div')

window.document.body.appendChild(container)

ReactDOM.render(<App />, container)
```

The component is stylable, just supply custom components for the keys:

```jsx harmony
import * as React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
import Keyboard from '@theoryofnekomata/react-musical-keyboard'
import NaturalKey from './my-styled-keys/NaturalKey'
import AccidentalKey from './my-styled-keys/AccidentalKey'

const App = () => {
return (
<div>
<Keyboard
startKey={21}
endKey={108}
keyComponents={{
natural: NaturalKey,
accidental: AccidentalKey
}}
/>
</div>
)
}

const container = window.document.createElement('div')

window.document.body.appendChild(container)

ReactDOM.render(<App />, container)
```

Custom keys should accept a `keyChannels` prop for active keys. For instance, in the custom key components imported above:

```jsx harmony
// ./my-styled-keys/NaturalKey.js

import * as React from 'react'
import NOT_PRESSED_KEY from './not-pressed.png'
import PRESSED_KEY_OVERLAY from './pressed-overlay.png'

const NaturalKey = ({
keyChannels = []
}) => {
return (
<div>
<img src={NOT_PRESSED_KEY} alt="" />
{keyChannels.map(k => (
<img key={k.channel} src={PRESSED_KEY_OVERLAY} alt="" />
))}
</div>
)
}

export default NaturalKey
```

Take note that pressed keys from multiple channels might overlap, therefore it is advisable to support multiple channels
pressing a single key at once.
