# LaunchpadJS
Interacting with a Novation Launchpad from your browser with the [web MIDI API][midi-web].
## Usage
Install LaunchpadJS with [bower][] via the following command
```shell
bower install --save LaunchpadJS
```
or download a distribution from [releases][].
Include `launchpad.min.js` in your html page
```html
```
Hook your [Lauchpad or Launchpad Mini][launchpad] up to your computer and start writing an application. E.g. the following snippet turns on each button that is pressed to red.
```js
launchpad.connect().then(function(pad){
pad.clear();
pad.on('press', function(button){
button.turn('red');
});
});
```
Now open your page in [Chrome][chrome] the only browser that natively implements the [Web Midi API][midi-web] at the [moment][can-i-use/midi].
See the [wiki][] for an overview of the [API][api]
## Development Notes
See the [issues][], for things to work on.
