igv.js is an embeddable interactive genome visualization component developed by the 
 [Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV)](https://igv.org) team.

# Quickstart

## Installation
igv.js consists of a single javascript file with no external dependencies.  

Pre-built files for script include, AMD, or CJS module systems (igv.min.js) and an ES6 module (igv.esm.min.js)
can be downloaded from [https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/igv@3.8.0/dist/](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/igv@3.8.0/dist/). 

To import igv as an ES6 module

```javascript
import igv from "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/igv@3.8.0/dist/igv.esm.min.js"
``` 

Or as a script include (defines the "igv" global)

```html
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/igv@3.8.0/dist/igv.min.js"></script>
```   
 
Alternatively you can install with npm  
 
 ```npm install igv```

and source the appropriate file for your module system (igv.min.js or igv.esm.min.js)  in node_modules/igv/dist.


## Usage

To create an igv.js ***browser*** supply a container div 
and an initial configuration defining the reference genome, initial tracks, and other state to the 
function ```igv.createBrowser(div, config)```.  

This function returns a promise for an igv.Browser object which can used to control the browser.  For example, to open
a browser on a single alignment track opened at a specific locus:

```
      var igvDiv = document.getElementById("igv-div");
      var options =
        {
            genome: "hg38",
            locus: "chr8:127,736,588-127,739,371",
            tracks: [
                {
                    "name": "HG00103",
                    "url": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/1000genomes/data/HG00103/alignment/HG00103.alt_bwamem_GRCh38DH.20150718.GBR.low_coverage.cram",
                    "indexURL": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/1000genomes/data/HG00103/alignment/HG00103.alt_bwamem_GRCh38DH.20150718.GBR.low_coverage.cram.crai",
                    "format": "cram"
                }
            ]
        };

        igv.createBrowser(igvDiv, options)
                .then(function (browser) {
                    console.log("Created IGV browser");
                })
```

## Documentation

Full documentation of the igv.js API is available at [https://igv.org/doc/igvjs/](https://igv.org/doc/igvjs/).

## Development

### Requirements

Building igv.js and running the examples require Linux or MacOS.  Other Unix environments will probably
work but have not been tested.  

Windows users can use [Windows Subsystem for Linux](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10).

### Building

Building igv.js and running the examples requires [node.js](https://nodejs.org/).  

Development can be done directly from the source files by importing igv.js from ```js/index.js```.  
See the html files in the ```dev``` folder for examples of how to import igv.js from the source
directory. The ```dist```files are not required for development, however you must build at least 
once to compile the CSS and create the required file  ```js/embedCss.js```.  


```  
git clone https://github.com/igvteam/igv.js.git
cd igv.js
npm install
npm run build
```

This creates a dist folder with the following files

* igv.js - UMDS file for script include, AMD, or CJS modules.  A script include will define an "igv" global.
* igv.min.js - minified version of igv.js
* igv.esm.js --  ES6 module 
* igv.esm.min.js --  minified version of igv.esm.js

Additionally the file ```embedCSS.js``` is created in the ```js``` folder.  This contains the CSS required for igv.js,
which is injected into a shadow root containing igv.js.

### Tests

To run the tests from the command line

```
npm run test
```

# Supported Browsers

igv.js require a modern web browser with support for Javascript ECMAScript 2015 (ES6).
