Getting Started

On a very basic level, adopting Conferia.js requires just two steps:

Create an Excel spreadsheet with your conference schedule, and export this to CSV. Upload this file to your website and ensure it is publicly accessible.
Create (ideally) a new blank page on your website, and add the Conferia.js setup code to the page's HTML.

A minimal example for embedding Conferia.js on your website could look like this:

<!-- Import Conferia.js-specific styles. -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/nathanlesage/conferia@main/dist/conferia.css">
<!-- Import the library -->
<script defer src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/nathanlesage/conferia@main/dist/conferia.js"></script>
<!-- Set up the library and instantiate your schedule. -->
<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
  const conf = new Conferia({
    parent: document.body,
    src: '/program.csv' // You can also specify the full URL if necessary
  })
})
</script>

Info

You have several options to decide which version of Conferia.js you want to use. By default, the code above targets the main develop branch, which ensures that once in a while, new changes will be loaded. However, this is not advisable, since this can break over time.

To ensure that you load a fixed version, you should specify the corresponding tag name of the most recent version of Conferia at the time of your event. To do so, check the available tags on GitHub and replace conferia@main with the corresponding most recent tag, e.g.: conferia@0.6.0.

Conferia.js will do a lot of heavy lifting under the hood to render your schedule appropriately and easy to parse for your conference participants.
