genanki-js

A JavaScript implementation for generating Anki decks in browser. This is fork of mkanki.

QuickStart

Download genanki zip file from release pages.

The zip file contains two folder

• dist : This folder contains genanki.js file. If project already configured with sql.js, FileSaver.js and JSZip then just add genanki.js file to project.

• sample : This folder contains latest sql.js, FileSaver.js, JSZip and genanki.js. It is ready to use folder.

Alternatively, genanki.js can also be loaded from CDN.

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/krmanik/genanki-js/dist/genanki.js"></script>

CSV/TSV to Anki Package

Visit page and select CSV to APKG from top menu.
CSV to APKG

Set Up a new project from scratch

1. Download genanki.js from dist folder and add to the project

<!-- for creating and exporting anki package file -->
<script src='genanki.js'></script>

2. Add sql.js, FileSaver.js and JSZip to the project

   Note: mkanki uses better-sql, fs and archiver, that make it difficult to be used in browser

<!-- sqlite -->
<script src='js/sql/sql.js'></script>

<!-- File saver -->
<script src="js/filesaver/FileSaver.min.js"></script>

<!-- jszip for .apkg -->
<script src="js/jszip.min.js"></script>

3. Create a SQL global variable (may be added to index.js)

// The `initSqlJs` function is globally provided by all of the main dist files if loaded in the browser.
// We must specify this locateFile function if we are loading a wasm file from anywhere other than the current html page's folder.
config = {
    locateFile: filename => `js/sql/sql-wasm.wasm`
}

var SQL;
initSqlJs(config).then(function (sql) {
    //Create the database
    SQL = sql;
});

4. Now use following Examples to generate and export decks.

var m = new Model({
  name: "Basic (and reversed card)",
  id: "1543634829843",
  flds: [
    { name: "Front" },
    { name: "Back" }
  ],
  req: [
    [ 0, "all", [ 0 ] ],
    [ 1, "all", [ 1 ] ]
  ],
  tmpls: [
    {
      name: "Card 1",
      qfmt: "{{Front}}",
      afmt: "{{FrontSide}}\n\n<hr id=answer>\n\n{{Back}}",
    },
    {
      name: "Card 2",
      qfmt: "{{Back}}",
      afmt: "{{FrontSide}}\n\n<hr id=answer>\n\n{{Front}}",
    }
  ],
})
                        
var d = new Deck(1276438724672, "Test Deck")

d.addNote(m.note(['this is front', 'this is back']))

var p = new Package()
p.addDeck(d)

p.writeToFile('deck.apkg')
