volume-meter-skip

A volume-meter, but with skip value option.

Renders the dynamic range of a MediaStream waveform slice as a percentage in a requestAnimationFrame callback.

Why

Not a particularly complicated task, but it requires more code than you might expect. Also being able to control how the output is tweened (in and out independently!) allows you to get a custom look and feel pretty easily 😎

How

Web Audio API's AnalyserNode#getByteTimeDomainData()

Example

var volumemeter = require('volume-meter')
var getusermedia = require('getusermedia')

var ctx = new AudioContext()
var el = document.querySelector('.meter')

var meter = volumemeter(ctx, { tweenIn: 2, tweenOut: 6 }, function (volume) {
  el.style.height = volume + '%'
})

getusermedia({ audio: true, video: false }, function (err, stream) {
  if (err) return console.error(err)

  var src = ctx.createMediaStreamSource(stream)
  src.connect(meter)
  src.connect(ctx.destination)
  stream.onended = meter.stop.bind(meter)
})

A slightly more full featured example can be found here. You can run it by doing:

$ npm run example

Install

$ npm install volume-meter

Require

var volumemeter = require('volume-meter')

Constructor

var meter = volumemeter(context, [opts], onenterframe)

Instance methods

meter.stop()

Releases

The latest stable release is published to npm.
