Components

A Stimulus Controller to play and control sound.


Installation

  1. Install the package

    $ yarn add @stimulus-components/sound
    
  2. Register the controller in your application

    app/javascript/controllers/index.js
    import { Application } from '@hotwired/stimulus'
    import Sound from '@stimulus-components/sound'
    
    const application = Application.start()
    application.register('sound', Sound)
    

Usage

app/views/index.html
<div data-controller="sound" data-sound-url-value="/path/to/your/sound.mp3">
  <button type="button" data-action="sound#play">▶️ Play</button>
  <button type="button" data-action="sound#pause">⏸️ Pause</button>
  <button type="button" data-action="sound#reset">⏹️ Reset</button>
  <button type="button" data-action="sound#muted" data-sound-muted-param="true">🔇 Mute</button>
  <button type="button" data-action="sound#muted" data-sound-muted-param="false">🔈 Unmute</button>
  <button type="button" data-action="sound#loop" data-sound-loop-param="true">🔁 Loop</button>
  <button type="button" data-action="sound#volume" data-sound-volume-param="1">🔊 Volume to 100%</button>
  <button type="button" data-action="sound#volume" data-sound-volume-param="0.25">🔉 Volume to 25%</button>
</div>

Extending Controller

You can use inheritance to extend the functionality of any Stimulus component:

app/javascript/controllers/sound_controller.js
import Sound from 'stimulus-sound'

export default class extends Sound {
  connect() {
    super.connect()
    console.log('Do what you want here.')

    // The HTMLAudioElement instance.
    // See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLAudioElement
    // You can fetch any attribute on it if needed.
    this.sound
  }
}

This controller will automatically have access to targets defined in the parent class.

If you override the connect, disconnect or any other methods from the parent, you'll want to call super.method() to make sure the parent functionality is executed.
