Readme
Peaks.js was developed by BBC R&D to allow users to make accurate clippings of audio content in the browser, using a backend API that serves the waveform data.
Peaks.js uses the HTML canvas element to display the waveform at different zoom levels, and has configuration options to allow you to customize the waveform views. Peaks.js allows users to interact with the waveform views, including zooming and scrolling, and creating point or segment markers that denote content to be clipped or for reference, e.g., distinguishing music from speech or identifying different music tracks.
Features
- Zoomable and scrollable waveform view
- Fixed width waveform view
- Mouse, touch, scroll wheel, and keyboard interaction
- Client-side waveform computation, using the Web Audio API, for convenience
- Server-side waveform computation, for efficiency
- Mono, stereo, or multi-channel waveform views
- Create point or segment marker annotations
- Customizable waveform views
You can read more about the project and see a demo here.

cd peaks.js
npm install
npm start
and then open your browser at http://localhost:8080.
Using Peaks.js in your own project
Peaks.js can be included in any web page by following these steps:
- include it your web page
- include a media element and its waveform data file
- initialise Peaks.js
<div id="peaks-container">
<div id="zoomview-container"></div>
<div id="overview-container"></div>
</div>
<audio>
<source src="test_data/sample.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
<source src="test_data/sample.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
</audio>
<script src="bower_components/requirejs/require.js" data-main="app.js"></script>
Note that the container div
s should be left empty, as shown above, as their
content will be replaced by the waveform view canvas
elements.
Start using AMD and require.js
AMD modules work out of the box without any optimiser.
// in app.js
// configure peaks path
requirejs.config({
paths: {
peaks: 'bower_components/peaks.js/src/main',
EventEmitter: 'bower_components/eventemitter2/lib/eventemitter2',
Konva: 'bower_components/konvajs/konva',
'waveform-data': 'bower_components/waveform-data/dist/waveform-data.min'
}
});
// require it
require(['peaks'], function(Peaks) {
const options = {
containers: {
overview: document.getElementById('overview-container'),
zoomview: document.getElementById('zoomview-container')
}
mediaElement: document.querySelector('audio'),
dataUri: 'test_data/sample.json'
};
Peaks.init(options, function(err, peaks) {
// Do something when the waveform is displayed and ready.
});
});
Start using ES2015 module loader
This works well with systems such as Meteor, webpack and browserify (with babelify transform).
import Peaks from 'peaks.js';
const options = { ... };
Peaks.init(options, function(err, peaks) {
// ...
});
Start using CommonJS module loader
This works well with systems such as Meteor, webpack and browserify.
var Peaks = require('peaks.js');
const options = { ... };
Peaks.init(options, function(err, peaks) {
// ...
});
Start using vanilla JavaScript
<script src="node_modules/peaks.js/peaks.js"></script>
<script>
(function(Peaks) {
const options = { ... };
Peaks.init(options, function(err, peaks) {
// ...
});
})(peaks);
</script>
Generate waveform data
Peaks.js uses waveform data files produced by audiowaveform. These can be generated in either binary (.dat) or JSON format. Binary format is preferred because of the smaller file size, but this is only compatible with browsers that support Typed Arrays.
You should also use the -b 8
option when generating waveform data files, as Peaks.js does not currently support 16-bit waveform data files, and also to minimise file size.
To generate a binary waveform data file:
audiowaveform -i sample.mp3 -o sample.dat -b 8
To generate a JSON format waveform data file:
audiowaveform -i sample.mp3 -o sample.json -b 8
Refer to the man page audiowaveform(1) for full details of the available command line options.
Web Audio based waveforms
Peaks.js can use the Web Audio API to generate waveforms, which means you do not have to pre-generate a dat
or json
file beforehand. However, note that this requires the browser to download the entire audio file before the waveform can be shown, and this process can be CPU intensive, so is not recommended for long audio files.
To use Web Audio, omit the dataUri
option and instead pass a webAudio
object that contains an AudioContext
instance. Your browser must support the Web Audio API.
const AudioContext = window.AudioContext || window.webkitAudioContext;
const audioContext = new AudioContext();
const options = {
containers: {
overview: document.getElementById('overview-waveform'),
zoomview: document.getElementById('zoomview-waveform')
},
mediaElement: document.querySelector('audio'),
webAudio: {
audioContext: audioContext
}
};
Peaks.init(options, function(err, peaks) {
// Do something when the waveform is displayed and ready
});
Alternatively, if you have an AudioBuffer
containing decoded audio samples, e.g., from
AudioContext.decodeAudioData
then an AudioContext
is not needed:
const AudioContext = window.AudioContext || window.webkitAudioContext;
const audioContext = new AudioContext();
// arrayBuffer contains the encoded audio (e.g., MP3 format)
audioContext.decodeAudioData(arrayBuffer)
.then(function(audioBuffer) {
const options = {
containers: {
overview: document.getElementById('overview-waveform'),
zoomview: document.getElementById('zoomview-waveform')
},
mediaElement: document.querySelector('audio'),
webAudio: {
audioContext: audioContext,
audioBuffer: audioBuffer
}
};
Peaks.init(options, function(err, peaks) {
// Do something when the waveform is displayed and ready
});
});
Configuration
The available options for configuration of the viewer are as follows:
var options = {
/** REQUIRED OPTIONS **/
// Containing element: either
container: document.getElementById('peaks-container'),
// or (preferred):
containers: {
zoomview: document.getElementById('zoomview-container'),

Marker customization
Peaks.js allows you to customize the appearance of the point and segment
markers, by specifying the following configuration options: createPointMarker
,
createSegmentMarker
, and createSegmentLabel
. Please read
Customizing Peaks.js for more details.
API
Initialisation
The top level Peaks
object exposes a factory function to create new Peaks
instances.
Peaks.init(options, callback)
Returns a new Peaks
instance with the assigned options.
The callback is invoked after the instance has been created and initialised, or if any errors occur during initialization.
You can create and manage several Peaks
instances within a single page with one or several configurations.
const options = { ... };
Peaks.init(options, function(err, peaks) {
if (err) {
console.error('Failed to initialize Peaks instance: ' + err.message);
return;
}
console.log(peaks.player.getCurrentTime());
});
instance.setSource(options, callback)
Changes the audio or video media source associated with the Peaks
instance. Depending on the options
specified, the waveform is either requested from a server or is generated by the browser using the Web Audio API.
The options
parameter is an object with the following keys. Only one of dataUri
, waveformData
, or webAudio
must be specified.
mediaUrl
: Audio or video media URLdataUri
: (optional) If requesting waveform data from a server, this should be an object containingarraybuffer
and/orjson
valuesarraybuffer
: (optional) URL of the binary format waveform data (.dat) to requestjson
: (optional) URL of the JSON format waveform data to request
waveformData
: (optional) If using local or previously requested waveform data, this should be an object containingarraybuffer
and/orjson
valuesarraybuffer
: (optional) the binary format waveform data (.dat)json
: (optional) the JSON format waveform data
webAudio
: (optional) If using the Web Audio API to generate the waveform, this should be an object containing the following values:audioContext
: (optional) A Web AudioAudioContext
instance, used to compute the waveform data from the mediaaudioBuffer
: (optional) A Web AudioAudioBuffer
instance, containing the decoded audio samples. If present, this audio data is used and themediaUrl
is not fetched.multiChannel
: (optional) Iftrue
, the waveform will show all available channels. Iffalse
(the default), the audio is shown as a single channel waveform.
withCredentials
: (optional) Iftrue
, Peaks.js will send credentials when requesting the waveform data from a serverzoomLevels
: (optional) Array of zoom levels in samples per pixel. If not present, the values passed to Peaks.init() will be used
For example, to change the media URL and request pre-computed waveform data from the server:
const options = {
mediaUrl: '/sample.mp3',
dataUri: {
arraybuffer: '/sample.dat',
json: '/sample.json',
}
};
instance.setSource(options, function(error) {
// Waveform updated
});
Or, to change the media URL and use the Web Audio API to generate the waveform:
const audioContext = new AudioContext();
const options = {
mediaUrl: '/sample.mp3',
webAudio: {
audioContext: audioContext,
multiChannel: true
}
};
instance.setSource(options, function(error) {
// Waveform updated
});
Player API
instance.player.play()
Starts media playback, from the current time position.
instance.player.play();
instance.player.pause()
Pauses media playback.
instance.player.pause();
instance.player.getCurrentTime()
Returns the current time from the associated media element, in seconds.
const time = instance.player.getCurrentTime();
instance.player.getDuration()
Returns the duration of the media, in seconds.
const duration = instance.player.getDuration();
instance.player.seek(time)
Seeks the media element to the given time, in seconds.
instance.player.seek(5.85);
const time = instance.player.getCurrentTime();
instance.player.playSegment(segment)
Plays a given segment of the media.
const segment = instance.segments.add({
startTime: 5.0,
endTime: 15.0,
editable: true
});
// Plays from 5.0 to 15.0, then stops.
instance.player.playSegment(segment);
Views API
A single Peaks instance may have up to two associated waveform views: a zoomable view, or "zoomview", and a non-zoomable view, or "overview".
The Views API allows you to create or obtain references to these views.
instance.views.getView(name)
Returns a reference to one of the views. The name
parameter can be omitted if there is only one view, otherwise it should be set to either 'zoomview'
or 'overview'
.
const view = instance.views.getView('zoomview');
instance.views.createZoomview(container)
Creates a zoomable waveform view in the given container element.
const container = document.getElementById('zoomview-container');
const view = instance.views.createZoomview(container);
instance.views.createOverview(container)
Creates a non-zoomable ("overview") waveform view in the given container element.
const container = document.getElementById('overview-container');
const view = instance.views.createOverview(container);
instance.views.destroyZoomview()
Destroys the zoomable waveform view.
instance.views.destroyZoomview();
const container = document.getElementById('zoomview-container');
container.style.display = 'none';
instance.views.destroyOverview()
Destroys the non-zoomable ("overview") waveform view.
instance.views.destroyOverview();
const container = document.getElementById('overview-container');
container.style.display = 'none';
View API
Some view properties can be updated programmatically.
view.setAmplitudeScale(scale)
Changes the amplitude (vertical) waveform scale. The default scale is 1.0. If greater than 1.0, the waveform is increased in height. If between 0.0 and 1.0, the waveform is reduced in height.
const view = instance.views.getView('zoomview');
view.setAmplitudeScale(1.0);
view.setWaveformColor(color)
Sets the waveform color, as a string containing any valid CSS color value.
The initial color is controlled by the zoomWaveformColor
and overviewWaveformColor
configuration options.
const view = instance.views.getView('zoomview');
view.setWaveformColor('#800080'); // Purple
view.showPlayheadTime(show)
Shows or hides the current playback time, shown next to the playhead.
The initial setting is false
, for the overview waveform view, or controlled by the showPlayheadTime
configuration option for the zoomable waveform view.
const view = instance.views.getView('zoomview');
view.showPlayeadTime(false); // Remove the time from the playhead marker.
view.enableAutoScroll(enable)
Enables or disables auto-scroll behaviour (enabled by default). This only applies to the zoomable waveform view.
const view = instance.views.getView('zoomview');
view.enableAutoScroll(false);
view.enableMarkerEditing(enable)
Enables or disables point and segment marker editing. By default, the zoomable waveform view allows marker editing and the overview waveform view does not.
Note that this method should be called before adding any point or segment markers. It will not change any existing non-editable markers to be editable.
const view = instance.views.getView('overview');
view.enableMarkerEditing(true);
instance.segments.add({
startTime: 5.0,
endTime: 10.0,
label: 'Test segment',
editable: true
});
view.fitToContainer()
Resizes the waveform view to fit the container. You should call this method after changing the width or height of the container HTML element.
If the zoom level has been set to a number of seconds or 'auto'
, the waveform
will be automatically rescaled to fit the container width. As this can take
a long time, particularly for long waveforms, we recommend using a debounce
function (such as lodash's _.debounce())
when changing the container's width.
const container = document.getElementById('zoomview-container');
const view = instance.views.getView('zoomview');
container.setAttribute('style', 'height: 300px');
view.fitToContainer();
// or, with debounce of 500ms:
window.addEventListener('resize', _.debounce(function() {
view.fitToContainer();
}, 500);
view.setZoom(options)
Changes the zoom level of the zoomable waveform view.
This method gives applications greater control over the zoom level than the older Zoom API methods.
The options
parameter is an object with one of the following keys:
scale
: Sets the zoom level, in samples per pixel.seconds
: Sets the zoom level to fit the given number of seconds in the available width.
Either option may have the value 'auto'
, which fits the entire waveform to the container width.
const view = instance.views.getView('zoomview');
view.setZoom({ scale: 512 }); // samples per pixel
view.setZoom({ seconds: 5.0 });
view.setZoom({ seconds: 'auto' });
view.setStartTime(time)
Changes the start time, in seconds, of the zoomable waveform view.
Note that this method is not available on the overview waveform.
const view = instance.views.getView('zoomview');
view.setStartTime(6.0); // seconds
Zoom API
instance.zoom.zoomOut()
Zooms in the waveform zoom view by one level.
Assuming the Peaks instance has been created with zoom levels: 512, 1024, 2048, 4096
const instance = Peaks.init({ ..., zoomLevels: [512, 1024, 2048, 4096] });
instance.zoom.zoomOut(); // zoom level is now 1024
instance.zoom.zoomIn()
Zooms in the waveform zoom view by one level.
const instance = Peaks.init({ ..., zoomLevels: [512, 1024, 2048, 4096] });
instance.zoom.zoomIn(); // zoom level is still 512
instance.zoom.zoomOut(); // zoom level is now 1024
instance.zoom.zoomIn(); // zoom level is now 512 again
instance.zoom.setZoom(index)
Changes the zoom level of the zoomable waveform view to the element in the
options.zoomLevels
array at index index
.
const instance = Peaks.init({ ..., zoomLevels: [512, 1024, 2048, 4096] });
instance.zoom.setZoom(3); // zoom level is now 4096
See also view.setZoom(), which offers a more flexible way of setting the zoom level.
instance.zoom.getZoom()
Returns the current zoom level, as an index into the options.zoomLevels
array.
const instance = Peaks.init({ ..., zoomLevels: [512, 1024, 2048, 4096] });
instance.zoom.zoomOut();
console.log(instance.zoom.getZoom()); // -> 1
Segments API
