audiovisual

An audio visualizer built using React.

CLI usage

1. Install globally: npm install -g audiovisual
2. Start the server: audiovisual [flags] [directory]
   • You can specify a directory containing songs to serve.
   • The first time you serve a folder (and any time you want to rescan for updated songs), you'll need to use the -s flag.
     • This will create a file named .audiovisual.json in the root of the folder containing a list of all matched files.
     • The server parses media tags from .{mp3,mp4,m4a} files using jsmediatags
       • This might take a while, so please be patient!
     • If you want to scan recursively into subdirectories, use the -r option.
   • Check below for more options, including customizing file matching expressions.
3. Navigate to the site (localhost:10102 by default) and enjoy your audiovisual experience!

Development

Several build-related scripts are included that can be run using npm run <script>:

• doc: generates HTML documentation and places it into doc
• lint: runs eslint on all source files
• build: builds the project and places the bundle into dist
• dist: same as above, excepts does production-level optimizations
• watch: watches for changes, automatically rebuilding when necessary
• live: starts a webpack-dev-server and enables hot module replacement. Access the server at http://localhost:8080.
