import { SoundyProvider } from  "soundy-js";

function  Container() {
const  playerRef  =  useRef(null);

return (
	<div>
		<audio
			id="audioPlayer"
			src="your_audio.mp3"
			ref={playerRef}>
		</audio>
		<SoundyProvider  playerRef={playerRef}>
			<YourVisualization/>
		</SoundyProvider>
	</div>
);
}

Visualizer:

import  useSoundy  from  'soundy-js';

const  YourVisualization = () => {
const { 
	getLowFrequencyData, 
	getMidFrequencyData, 
	getHighFrequencyData
} =  useSoundy();
return (
	<div>
	... your visualization elements here	
	</div>
);
};

Usage with React Hook

Visualizer:

import useAudioFeatures from 'soundy-js';

const  YourVisualization = () => {
const playerRef = useRef(null);
const { getLowFrequencyData, getMidFrequencyData, getHighFrequencyData } =
  useAudioFeatures(playerRef);
return (
	<div>
		<audio
			id="audioPlayer"
			src="your_audio.mp3"
			ref={playerRef}>
		</audio>
		... your visualization elements here	
	</div>
);
};

Currently supported feature set ✅

• Access Low, Mid or High frequency data of your audio
• Retrieve Avarage of Low or Mid frequencies
• Get the peak or the bottom of Low, Mid or High frequencies
• Use the significant beat of the audio as a signal

• Select a custom range of frequency data of your audio

Motivation 🤔

We incredibly enjoy making audio visualizers using javascript only. This projects goal is to provide a library that can make this more approachable for others, by supplying the data from the audio via a React hook or Provider. We mostly experimented creating visualizations using Three.js, SVGs and basic HTML elements.
