Vue HTML5 audio visualization components

UPDATE NOTES

Warning

Plugin current version is compatibale only with Vue v3. For Vue2 use plugin version 2.5.1. See install chapter for details.

Overview

An audio spectrum visualizer plugin for VueJS framework. It is built with HTML5 Web Audio API and compatible with all browsers that support HTML5 audio API. It provides several Vue components that allows to draw light and nice visualization for "audio" HTML elements.

Note

Visit DEMO page for working examples.

Usage examples:

Component AvLine. Vue template name <av-line>

<av-line :line-width="2" line-color="lime" src="/static/music.mp3"></av-line>

This will create following element:

AvLine Intro

Component AvBars. Vue template name <av-bars>

<av-bars
  caps-color="#FFF"
  :bar-color="['#f00', '#ff0', '#0f0']"
  canv-fill-color="#000"
  :caps-height="2"
  src="/static/bach.mp3"
></av-bars>

This will create following element:

AvBars Intro

Component AvCircle. Vue template name <av-circle>

<av-circle
  :outline-width="0"
  :progress-width="5"
  :outline-meter-space="5"
  :playtime="true"
  playtime-font="18px Monaco"
  src="/static/bach.mp3"
></av-circle>

This will create following element:

AvCircle Intro

Component AvWaveform. Vue template name <av-waveform>

<av-waveform src="/static/bar.mp3"></av-waveform>

This will create following waveform element:

AvWaveform Intro

Component will pre-load audio content and generate clickable waveform.

Component AvMedia. Vue component <AvMedia>

<AvMedia :media="mediaObject" type="vbar"></AvMedia>

This will create following media element:

AvMedia Intro

There are more media types. See details below.

⚙️ Get started

Install

Install using npm

npm install --save vue-audio-visual

for Vue 2 install version 2.5.1

npm i -S vue-audio-visual@2.5.1

Use plugin

Install plugin in main.js:

import { createApp } from "vue";
import App from "./App.vue";
import { AVPlugin } from "vue-audio-visual";

const app = createApp(App);
app.use(AVPlugin);

app.mount("#app");

Then anywhere is your app you can use it like this:

<av-bars src="/static/bach.mp3" bar-color="#CCC"> </av-bars>

Use component

Single component can be imported and used

<script setup lang="ts">
import { AVWaveform } from 'vue-audio-visual'
</script>

<template>
  <AVWaveform src="http://foo.com/music.ogg" />
</template>

Composable functions

Plugin provides composable "use" functions for each plugin component. Actually, each component uses composable function inside. See, for example, line component.

Composable functions use audio and canvas element refs. It is handy when you need full access to audio or canvas elements. In the same time it is easy to use:

<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref } from 'vue'
import { useAVBars } from 'vue-audio-visual'

const player = ref(null)
const canvas = ref(null)
const mySource = "./symphony.mp3"

// composable function useAVBars
useAVBars(player, canvas, { src: mySource, canvHeight: 40, canvWidth: 200, barColor: 'lime' })
</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <audio ref="player" :src="mySource" controls />
    <canvas ref="canvas" />
  </div>
</template>

⚙️ API

There are several components that comes with plugin. Here is the list of available plugins:

Name Component name Composable function
av-bars AVBars useAVBars
av-circle AvCircle useAVCircle
av-line AVLine useAVLine
av-media AVMedia useAVMedia
av-waveform AVWaveform useAVWaveform

There are props that are common for all components and special props for each component. All props for components' names follow vue specs when using wiht composable functions. Meaning when prop's name is "foo-bar" then in composable function parameter it is expected to be "fooBar".

Common props

Name Type Default Description
