Soundpad.js

An npm package for interacting with Soundpad

Install

npm install --save soundpad.js

Usage

Basic example

import Soundpad, { getSoundpadPath, openSoundpad } from 'soundpad.js';

const soundpad = new Soundpad()

console.log(getSoundpadPath())

async function run () {
  await openSoundpad()

  await soundpad.connect()

  await soundpad.playSound(1)

  soundpad.disconnect()
}

run()

Using in the browser

If you plan to use this package in the browser (with a custom dataDriver), you may get an error because some functions need Node's 'child_process' module. To fix this, you can import soundpad.js with the secondary entry point soundpad.js/web (which does not export those functions) like in this example:

import Soundpad from 'soundpad.js/lib/web';

const soundpad = new Soundpad();

soundpad.connect((query) => {
  return fetch('/api/soundpad/', { method: 'POST', body: query })
    .then((data) => data.text())
});
