Angular Wavesurfer Service

This library provides wavesurfer.js as an Angular service and component.

Wavesurfer.js is a customizable audio waveform visualization, built on top of Web Audio API and HTML5 Canvas. With wavesurfer.js you can create anything from an HTML5 audio player to a sophisticated DJ application.

Examples

WaveService

• Base Template - Minimum required code to get up and running

• Player with Controls - Play, pause and stop

• Dynamic Control Classes - Add classes to indicate the playback state

• Current Time Display - Display the current progress of playback

• Multiple Players from .json File

Wavesurfer Component

• Wavesurfer Component

Installation

Use your favorite package manager / npm to install.

npm install angular-wavesurfer-service --save

Add AngularWavesurferServiceModule to your NgModule.

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { AngularWavesurferServiceModule } from 'angular-wavesurfer-service';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    AngularWavesurferServiceModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

You will need to add the following compiler option to your application's tsconfig.json file: "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true

Usage

WaveService: a Simple WaveSurfer Service

Inject the WaveService in your constructor, and assign the object returned by the create() function to a variable for a full WaveSurfer object.

The create function requires a WaveSurfer configuration object with at least the container property set to an existing element's selector. See Wavesurfer Options below for more configuration options.

app.component.ts

mp3url = 'https://www.kennethcaple.com/api/mp3/richinlovemutedguitarechoing.mp3';

constructor(public waveService: WaveService) {}

ngAfterViewInit() {
  this.wave = this.waveService.create({container: '#waveservice'});
  this.wave.load(this.mp3url);
}

app.component.html

<div id="waveservice"></div>
<button (click)="wave.play()">Play</button>
<button (click)="wave.pause()">Pause</button>

Wavesurfer Component: a ready to go waveform component.

You can use the included wavesurfer click-to-play component anywhere in your app. It requires a URL to an audio file. Be sure to add the single quotes within the double quotes, if the track URL is not bound to a variable.

<wavesurfer [trackurl]="'https://www.kennethcaple.com/api/mp3/richinlovemutedguitarechoing.mp3'"></wavesurfer>

Wavesurfer Options

You can pass an options object to the Wavesurfer component to adjust parameters of the player. See Wavesurfer Options on the Wavesurfer site for a more detailed explanation of each option.

You can also experiment with several of the WaveSurfer parameters using the Wavesurfer Config Playground.

This service currently supports the following options:

container: string
backgroundColor: string
cursorColor: string
progressColor: string

Example

<wavesurfer [trackurl]="'https://www.kennethcaple.com/api/mp3/richinlovemutedguitarechoing.mp3'" [wavesurferOptions]="{backgroundColor: 'black',waveColor:'red'}"></wavesurfer>

Wavesurfer Service

Import the Wavesurfer Service directly into your own components to be able to designate other elements as the playback controller.

In your component:

HTML

Give a unique ID to an element and call the Wavesurfer Service's play function as the handler for an event, such as a click on a button.

<button  (click)="wsservice.play()">Play</button>
<div id="myid"></div>

Component

Inject the Wavesurfer Service into your component, and in the AfterViewInit lifecycle method, load your audio file and pass the options object to the load function, specifying the element ID for the container in which Wavesurfer should render.

import { Component, AfterViewInit, OnDestroy } from '@angular/core';
import { AngularWavesurferService } from 'angular-wavesurfer-service';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-wstest',
  templateUrl: './wstest.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./wstest.component.scss']
})
export class WstestComponent implements AfterViewInit, OnDestroy {

  constructor(public wsservice: AngularWavesurferService) {}

  ngAfterViewInit(): void {
    this.wsservice.load('https://www.kennethcaple.com/api/mp3/richinlovemutedguitarechoing.mp3', {container: '#myid'});
  }
}

Features

Click to Play

All rendered waveforms are click-to-play.

Global Media Control Service

When playing any waveform rendererd with this service, all other players instantiated by this service will stop. This is made possible by an included Globa Media Control Service RXJS behavior subject that the components listen to for notification to stop when another player is going to play.

Projects

Spleeter Online - spleeter.online

Spleeter Online extracts the vocal stem from any mp3 or wav file. The service is an interface to Deezer's Spleeter stem separation library that uses Tensorflow with pretrained models written in Python.
