@types/howler

What is @types/howler?

@types/howler provides TypeScript definitions for the Howler.js library, which is a powerful audio library for the web. It allows developers to easily control audio playback, manage multiple sounds, and handle various audio-related tasks in a web application.

What are @types/howler's main functionalities?

Basic Sound Playback

This feature allows you to play a sound file. You create a new Howl object with the source of the audio file and call the play method to start playback.

const sound = new Howl({ src: ['sound.mp3'] }); sound.play();

Sound Control

This feature provides control over the sound playback. You can play, pause, and stop the sound using the respective methods.

const sound = new Howl({ src: ['sound.mp3'] }); sound.play(); sound.pause(); sound.stop();

Volume Control

This feature allows you to control the volume of the sound. You can set the volume level using the volume method.

const sound = new Howl({ src: ['sound.mp3'] }); sound.volume(0.5);

Looping

This feature enables looping of the sound. By setting the loop property to true, the sound will play continuously in a loop.

const sound = new Howl({ src: ['sound.mp3'], loop: true }); sound.play();

Sprite Support

This feature allows you to define and play audio sprites. You can specify different parts of the audio file as sprites and play them individually.

const sound = new Howl({ src: ['sound.mp3'], sprite: { intro: [0, 5000], loop: [5000, 10000] } }); sound.play('intro');
