# JLC PCB SMD Assembly Component Catalogue
A better tool to browse the components offered by the [JLC PCB SMT Assembly
Service](https://jlcpcb.com/smt-assembly).
## How To Use It?
Just visit: [https://yaqwsx.github.io/jlcparts/](https://yaqwsx.github.io/jlcparts/)
## Why?
Probably all of us love JLC PCB SMT assembly service. It is easy to use, cheap
and fast. However, you can use only components from [their
catalogue](https://jlcpcb.com/parts). This is not as bad, since the library is
quite broad. However, the library UI sucks. You can only browse the categories,
do full-text search. You cannot do parametric search nor sort by property.
That's why I created a simple page which presents the catalogue in much nicer
form. You can:
- do full-text search
- browse categories
- parametric search
- sort by any component attribute
- sort by price based on quantity
- easily access datasheet and LCSC product page.
## Do You Enjoy It? Does It Make Your Life Easier?

Support on Ko-Fi allows me to develop such tools as this one and perform
hardware-related experiments.
## How Does It Look Like?

## How Does It Work?
The page has no backend so it can be easily hosted on GitHub Pages. Therefore,
Travis CI download XLS spreadsheet from the JLC PCB page, a Python script
process it and it generates per-category JSON file with components.
The frontend uses IndexedDB in the browser to store the component library and
perform queries on it. Therefore, before the first use, you have to download the
component library and it can take a while. Then, all the queries are performed
locally.
## Development
To get started with developing the frontend, you will need NodeJS & Python 3.
Set up the Python portion of the program by running:
```
$ virtualenv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -e .
```
Then to download the cached parts list and process it, run:
```
$ wget https://yaqwsx.github.io/jlcparts/data/cache.zip https://yaqwsx.github.io/jlcparts/data/cache.z0{1..8}
$ 7z x cache.zip
$ mkdir -p web/public/data/
$ jlcparts buildtables --jobs 0 --ignoreoldstock 30 cache.sqlite3 web/public/data
```
To launch the frontend web server, run:
```
$ cd web
$ npm install
$ npm start
```
## The Page Is Broken!
