Readme
This is an NPM of the stable version of the Verovio JavaScript toolkit.
Verovio is a fast, portable and lightweight library for engraving Music Encoding Initiative (MEI) music scores into SVG.
See it running in the MEI Viewer and check out the tutorial for its web integration and for enabling user interaction.
Basic usage
const verovio = require('verovio');
const fs = require('fs');
/* Wait for verovio to load */
verovio.module.onRuntimeInitialized = function ()
{
// create the toolkit instance
const vrvToolkit = new verovio.toolkit();
// read the MEI file
mei = fs.readFileSync('hello.mei');
// load the MEI data as string into the toolkit
vrvToolkit.loadData(mei.toString());
// render the fist page as SVG
svg = vrvToolkit.renderToSVG(1, {});
// save the SVG into a file
fs.writeFileSync('hello.svg', svg);
}
Usage with ESM
This package also provides an ESM version which can be used with a modularized build of the Verovio module. Use .mjs
as file extension when using this directly in Node.js or set "type": "module"
in your package.json
.
import createVerovioModule from 'verovio/wasm';
import { VerovioToolkit } from 'verovio/esm';
import fs from 'node:fs';
createVerovioModule().then(VerovioModule => {
const verovioToolkit = new VerovioToolkit(VerovioModule);
const score = fs.readFileSync('hello.mei').toString();
verovioToolkit.loadData(score);
const data = verovioToolkit.renderToSVG(1);
console.log(data);
});
This is the recommended way to use Verovio when creating a website or web app with bundlers like webpack or Vite or when using JavaScript frameworks like React or Vue.js.
Usage with CommonJS
Alternatively this package also exports a version compatible with CommonJS
const createVerovioModule = require('verovio/wasm');
const { VerovioToolkit } = require('verovio/esm');
Humdrum support
Since version 3.11.0 the npm package provides an additional module with Humdrum support:
import createVerovioModule from 'verovio/wasm-hum';
