Soundmanager

Soundmanager allows to play a bunch of tracks in a timed order.

How to use

install as global dependency (for now -- umd version is coming)

$ npm install 
$ npm run build

Then you can take the file in /dist/main.js, rename as you like, and use it directly in your code with the name SoundManager.

You should prepare a tracklist like this one:

var timeline = {
    sounds: [
        {
            sec: 0, // seconds 
            name: 'bensound-summer.mp3',
            start: 5, // starts to play from the 5th second
            length: 2 // plays only for two seconds 
        },
        {
            sec: 4,
            name: 'bensound-creativeminds.mp3'
        },


        {
            sec: 2,
            name: 'bensound-ukulele.mp3'
        },
    ]
}

Important: if you use the option start, you must use also length.

and pass to SoundManager:

SoundManager.setup(timeline);

Once this is done, you can control the music via the API that is provided.

Example?

# npm i -g static-server 
# npm i 
# npm run build 
# static-server (will start a server on port 9080)

then, open browser to http://localhost:9080.

API

SoundManager.setup(timeline)

will set up all the internals to play music.

SoundManager.currentPosition()

returns the position we are in the music, in seconds.

SoundManager.play()

plays the music from the given pointer - if none is set, it will start from the start. To set the pointer check method seek.

SoundManager.stop()

stops the music and resets the pointers to the start of the timeline.

SoundManager.pause()

Will pause the music. The pointers will be saved at the current second.

SoundManager.seek(sec)

Will move the pointers to the given second. You can call this method either when the music is paused or when it's playing.
