React Audio Player

This is a light React wrapper around the HTML5 audio tag. It provides the ability to manipulate the player and listen to events through a nice React interface.

Installation

npm install --save react-audio-player

Also be sure you have react and react-dom installed in your app at version 15 or above.

Usage

import ReactAudioPlayer from 'react-audio-player';
//...
<ReactAudioPlayer
  src="my_audio_file.ogg"
  autoPlay
  controls
/>

Advanced Usage

Access to the audio element

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

<ReactAudioPlayer
  ref={(element) => { this.rap = element; }}
/>

Then you can access the audio element like this:

this.rap.audioEl

This is especially useful if you need access to read-only attributes of the audio tag such as buffered and played. See the audio tag documentation for more on these attributes.
