# Musical Keyboard
Musical keyboard component written in React.
## Installation
This component is currently available in:
* [Modal.sh JavaScript Package Registry](https://js.pack.modal.sh)
* [npm](https://npmjs.com)
* [GitHub Package Registry](https://npm.pkg.github.com)
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'
import Keyboard from '@theoryofnekomata/react-musical-keyboard'
const App = () => {
return (
)
}
const container = window.document.createElement('div')
window.document.body.appendChild(container)
ReactDOM.render(, 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 (
)
}
const container = window.document.createElement('div')
window.document.body.appendChild(container)
ReactDOM.render(, 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 (
)
}
const container = window.document.createElement('div')
window.document.body.appendChild(container)
ReactDOM.render(, 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 (
{keyChannels.map(k => (
))}
)
}
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.
