Using a CDN

You can consume Harper from the unpkg CDN using native ECMAScript module syntax which is supported by all modern browsers.

A simple example is provided below. 

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8" />
  <script type="module">
    // We can import `harper.js` using native ECMAScript syntax.
    // TODO: Update to the latest version.
    import {WorkerLinter, binaryInlined} from 'https://unpkg.com/harper.js@0.54.0/dist/harper.js';

    // Since we are working in the browser, we can use either `WorkerLinter`, which doesn't block the event loop, or `LocalLinter`, which does.
    let linter = new WorkerLinter({binary: binaryInlined});

    // Every time the `<textarea/>` received an input, we process it and update our list.
    async function onInput(e) {
      let lints = await linter.lint(e.target.value);

      let list = document.getElementById('errorlist');
      // Clear previous results
      list.innerHTML = '';

      for (let lint of lints) {
        let item = document.createElement('LI');
        var text = document.createTextNode(lint.message());
        item.appendChild(text);
        list.appendChild(item);
      }
    }

    let inputField = document.getElementById('maininput');
    inputField.addEventListener('input', onInput);
    onInput({target: inputField});
  </script>
