The Immersive Reader JavaScript SDK is a JavaScript library that allows you to easily and quickly integrate the Immersive Reader into your web application.

Usage of this SDK requires an Azure subscription to Immersive Reader. Follow these instructions to create an Immersive Reader resource and configure Azure Active Directory authentication. Save the output of your session into a text file for future reference.

You can find examples of how to acquire an authentication token in the samples.

Include the library of the stable build in your web application:

<script type='text/javascript' src='https://ircdname.azureedge.net/immersivereadersdk/immersive-reader-sdk.1.3.0.js'></script>

npm install @microsoft/immersive-reader-sdk

yarn add @microsoft/immersive-reader-sdk

Add an HTML element to your webpage with the immersive-reader-button class attribute.

<div class='immersive-reader-button' onclick='launchImmersiveReader()'></div>

Next, invoke the Immersive Reader when the button is clicked:

function launchImmersiveReader() {
    const content = {
        title: 'Immersive Reader',
        chunks: [ {
            content: 'Hello, world!'
        } ]
    };
    ImmersiveReader.launchAsync(YOUR_TOKEN, YOUR_SUBDOMAIN, content);
}

Take a look at the samples for examples of a full end-to-end integration.
