What to do after install?

[2dned]

Hi guys, i think i have installed everything now but not sure what to do next.
Do i make an index.html and add some script to it or?

Hi, chords-db is just the database of chords, to render it you can create your own render, or use this one:

Hi Thank you for reply.
I have installed react-chords now.
With the usage code, what do i save it as? .php or .js or html
So how do i render the page?

ok worked out it needs to be a .js file, lets call it index.js
now what? lol

You need to use React for using this directive. Everything is generated client-side, but you could generate png's if you need it. Take a look at the "webpage" branch, it's the Gatsby implementation of the main page with all the cords.

Gatsby Project Source code: https://github.com/tombatossals/chords-db/tree/webpage

Result page: https://tombatossals.github.io/react-chords/

Cheers

Well after 20 hrs of stuffing around i give up, will find another source code with some form of install or instructions.

As a polite note, you should add some documentation on how to install it not just add command here throw some script somewhere unspecified or name of file.

I do thank you for the time and effort you have put into it.

[enfff]

mkdir myroot && cd myroot
git clone https://github.com/tombatossals/chords-db/
cd chords-db && sudo npm link
cd .. && sudo npm link @tombatossals/chords-db 

ignore the warnings

now your the database is locally installed, you can check that with npm list | grep chords

at this point just start writing your program, let's say bored.js

from there on, you can access the database with

const ukulele = require(`@tombatossals/chords-db/lib/ukulele.json`)
or
const guitar = require(`@tombatossals/chords-db/lib/guitar.json`)

have fun
