Uh hello guys, welcome to this video. So
0:02
in this video, I'll show you I built out
0:04
a EPUB uh viewer and uh renderer
0:08
directly in the browser. If you want to
0:09
read your ebook viewer,
0:13
you can basically use this React
0:15
application that I developed. It's a
0:16
single page application where you can
0:18
actually read your EPUB files. EUB is a
0:23
very popular files similar to PDF.
0:26
So the interface is quite simple. You
0:29
simply drag and drop your EPUP file
0:32
whichever file that you want to read. So
0:34
once the EUP file loads directly in the
0:36
browser you will be able to read this.
0:38
So now page by page by page first of all
0:41
it shows you the cover of this page
0:43
cover of this book. Now we have all the
0:45
controls out there. You can open the
0:48
table of contents. So line by line it
0:50
actually shows you the page number. You
0:53
can navigate
0:55
the whole ebook. You can go to any
0:58
section by clicking the sidebar section
1:01
menu and as you can see
1:08
you simply select that and it also
1:11
supports night mode as well. So I
1:13
basically coded this react application
1:15
from scratch. So if you need the source
1:17
code of this I have given the link you
1:18
can directly purchase it. It's a single
1:21
page application. So it's we are using
1:23
the latest version of react as you can
1:25
see.
1:30
And we are using this library EPUB2 to
1:33
actually integrate the viewer
1:36
to read and view EUP files directly in
1:38
the browser. It's a full uh project. All
1:42
the components are divided into its
1:44
appropriate TypeScript file. So once you
1:46
get the source code, it will be easy for
1:47
you to see how I coded this and also you
1:49
can add additional features on top of
1:51
this. So, so we are running this project
1:55
locally as you can see in in VS code as
1:59
you can I am running this project npm
2:01
rundev it started this project on
2:04
localhost 80080 it will be easy for you
2:06
to deploy this application as well so
2:09
you can go to any section right here or
2:12
you can zoom in zoom out all these
2:15
controls are there
2:17
we support light mode everything you can
2:21
go to the next chapter
2:23
By clicking the next and the previous
2:25
buttons, it also shows you the total
2:27
pages which are there which is 22. It
2:29
shows you the current page as well at
2:31
the bottom side. So in this easy way you
2:34
can read this
2:36
read the full EUP file here by opening
2:39
this table of content as well going to
2:43
any section write this. So it's really
2:46
easy kind of an application that I
2:48
developed in ReactJS. So if you're
2:50
interested in this full project, the
2:52
link is given in the description. You
2:54
can directly purchase it. So it has all
2:56
the buttons here to go to the next page.
2:59
You can easily read any file. So just
3:03
need to load the file by dragging and
3:05
dropping. And after that similarly that
3:08
we read the PDF file, we can read the
3:10
EUP file as well. So here these buttons
3:14
are also there. You can click to go to
3:17
the previous and the next page.
3:19
So as you can see that so
3:23
so all the processing happens directly
3:25
in the browser. It's an single page
3:27
offline editor where you basically open
3:30
your EUP files and you can read this
3:33
without having internet connection. So
3:35
once you deploy the app it is actually
3:39
can be offline as well. So it doesn't
3:42
require internet.
3:44
So
3:46
this is the overall react ep viewer. If
3:50
you are interested in this project guys,
3:52
uh the link is given. You can directly
3:55
purchase it. Once you purchase it, uh
3:58
all the source code will be downloaded
4:00
from a zip file from Google Drive
4:02
automatically.
