Installation

$ npm i solid-audio-player

Or

$ yarn add solid-audio-player

Usage

import AudioPlayer from 'solid-audio-player'
import 'solid-audio-player/dist/styles.css'

const Player = () => (
  <AudioPlayer
    autoPlay
    src="http://example.com/audio.mp3"
    onPlay={e => console.log('onPlay')}
    // other props here
  />
)

Keyboard shortcuts (When audio player focused)

They can be turned off by setting hasDefaultKeyBindings prop to false

| Key binding | Action | | ----------- | ----------- | | Space | Play/Pause | | ← | Rewind | | → | Forward | | ↑ | Volume up | | ↓ | Volume down | | L | Toggle loop | | M | Toggle mute |

Props

HTML Audio Tag Native Attributes

| Props | Type | Default | Note | | ----------- | ------------------------------ | --------- | --------------------------------- | | src | string | '' | | | preload | 'auto' | 'metadata' | 'none' | 'auto' | | | autoPlay | boolean | false | Won't work on most mobile devices | | loop | boolean | false | | | muted | boolean | false | | | volume | number | 1.0 | Won't work on most mobile devices | | crossOrigin | string | undefined | | | mediaGroup | string | undefined | |

More native attributes detail: MDN Audio element

The controls attribute defaults to false and should never be changed to true because this library is already providing UI.

Event Props

Supported media events: onPlay, onPause, onEnded, onSeeking, onSeeked, onAbort, onCanPlay, onCanPlayThrough, onEmptied, onError, onLoadStart, onLoadedMetaData, onLoadedData, onPlaying, onSuspend, onWaiting, onVolumeChange

Docs: Media Events | MDN

Note: onTimeUpdate is not supported. Please use onListen with listenInterval for better performance.

Other events

| Props | Type | Default | Note | | ------------------------ | ---------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | onClickPrevious | Function (Event) | null | Called when click Previous button | | onClickNext | Function (Event) | null | Called when click Next button | | onListen | Function (Event) | null | Called every listenInterval milliseconds during playback | | onPlayError | Function (Error) | null | Called when there's error invoking audio.play(), it captures error that onError won't catch | | onChangeCurrentTimeError | Function () | null | Called when dragging progress bar or press rewind/forward while the audio hasn't loaded yet |

UI Overwrites

Besides using props to change UI, Solid Audio Player provides built-in class names and SASS/LESS variables for developers to overwrite.

CSS variables

--sap_theme-color: #868686; // Color of all buttons and volume/progress indicators
--sap_background-color: #fff; // Color of the player background
--sap_bar-color: #e4e4e4; // Color of volume and progress bar
--sap_time-color: #333; // Font color of current time and duration
--sap_font-family: inherit; // Font family of current time and duration

For LESS variables, just replace $ with @. This library supports both.

Status class names

There are some status class names on the audio player's wrapper div. They can be used for overwriting styles.

| className | Description | | ------------------------ | -------------- | | sap_loop--on | Loop is on | | sap_loop--off | Loop is off | | sap_play-status--paused | Paused status | | sap_play-status--playing | Playing status |

For example:

.sap_play-status--paused .sap_progress-bar {
  // Overwrite the progress bar style while the audio is paused
}

Advanced Usage

Access to the audio element

You can get direct access to the underlying audio element. First get a ref to SolidAudioPlayer:

let player

return <SolidAudioPlayer ref={player} />

Then you can access the audio element like this:

player.audio

Media Source Extensions and Encrypted Media Extensions

You can use Media Source Extensions and Encrypted Media Extensions with this player. You need to provide the complete duration, and also a onSeek and onEncrypted callbacks. The logic for feeding the audio buffer and providing the decryption keys (if using encryption) must be set in the consumer side. The player does not provide that logic. Check the StoryBook example to understand better how to use.
