Embeddable web library for loading and displaying EPUB, CBZ files.
Depends on the JSZip library.
This project is one of the successors of the Chronic Reader service, with the purpose of making the ebook and comic display functionality from that project available as a library that can be used on any website by anyone.
Add required dependencies to your web page:
<script src="/libs/jszip.js"></script>
<script src="/libs/reader.js"></script>Add a div element where to display the book:
<div id="bookDisplayDiv" class="book"></div>Style the element to specify the dimensions of the book on your page:
<style>
.book {
position: relative;
width: 500px;
height: 800px;
overflow: hidden;
}
</style>Initialize the reader by providing a URL to the book and a component on your page:
<script>
reader = new ChronicReader(url, document.getElementById("bookDisplayDiv"))
</script>You can see a live demo on the github pages site for this repository.
