## MIDI for Electron

MIDI integration in [**Electron**](https://electronjs.org) applications.

( see also: [jazz-midi-vscode](https://github.com/jazz-soft/jazz-midi-vscode) ... )

*Notice:* v2.x.x introduces some breaking changes,  

however, upgrading old projects from v1.x.x will well worth the trouble.  

You are getting:

- fewer dependencies

- improved code security

- no additional installs required

## Examples

## Install

`npm install jazz-midi-electron --save`

## Usage

( see the examples above... )

### Main Process

```js

const JZZ = require('jzz');

// jazz-midi-electron is not required if using MIDI only in the Main Process

// ...

JZZ().openMidiOut() // ...

```

Main Process can use [**JZZ.js**](https://github.com/jazz-soft/JZZ) as normal Node.js application.  

It can access regular MIDI ports and create virtual ports.

### Browser Window

```html

// ...

JZZ().openMidiOut() // ...

```

```js

// when creating the Browser Window:

const JME = require('jazz-midi-electron');

// ...

win = new BrowserWindow({

    // ...

    webPreferences: { // see the preload.js in this repository

        preload: path.join(__dirname, 'preload.js')

    }

});

JME.init(win);

// ...

```

Browser Window will see all MIDI ports (including virtual) available to the Main Process.  

It can create additional Web Audio and HTML-based MIDI ports
