`

Version 2.x.x Release Notes

Breaking Changes:
- Ref Handling Update: In this version, the library has been enhanced to manage audio references (audioRef) internally. Users no longer need to pass ref={audioRef} separately to components. This change offers a more seamless and intuitive experience.

New Features:
- Preloaded Audio Blob Support: Version 2.x.x introduces the capability to set preloaded audio blobs. Users now have the flexibility to load audio blobs from various sources, such as user inputs or files using setPreloadedAudioBlob function, expanding the library's versatility in different scenarios.

Demo App

For a live demonstration of the React Voice Visualizer library, you can check out the Demo Voice Visualizer App. This app showcases various features and functionalities of the library in action.

Feel free to explore the demo app to see how the React Voice Visualizer can be used in different scenarios. You can refer to the source code of the demo app for additional examples and inspiration for using the library effectively.

Usage

To start using the VoiceVisualizer component, you will need to import the necessary hook and component from the library.
Here's an example of how to use this library in your App component:

`typescript jsx
import { useEffect } from "react";
import { useVoiceVisualizer, VoiceVisualizer } from "react-voice-visualizer";

const App = () => {
// Initialize the recorder controls using the hook
const recorderControls = useVoiceVisualizer();
const {
// ... (Extracted controls and states, if necessary)
recordedBlob,
error,
} = recorderControls;

// Get the recorded audio blob
useEffect(() => {
if (!recordedBlob) return;

console.log(recordedBlob);
}, [recordedBlob, error]);

// Get the error when it occurs
useEffect(() => {
if (!error) return;

console.error(error);
}, [error]);

return (

);
};

export default App;
`

Getting started

1. Import the required components and hooks from the library.
2. Initialize the recorder controls using the useVoiceVisualizer hook.
3. Use the provided state and functions to manage audio recording and playback.
4. Render the VoiceVisualizer component to display the real-time audio visualization.
5. Use the provided buttons to start, pause, stop, and save the audio recording.

Remember to include necessary CSS styles to customize the components and buttons according to your design preferences.

| audioRef | MutableRefObject
| Reference to the audio element used for playback. |
| isRecordingInProgress | boolean | Indicates if audio recording is currently in progress. |
| isPausedRecording | boolean | Indicates if audio recording is currently paused. |
| audioData | Uint8Array | Audio data for real-time visualization. |
| recordingTime | number | Elapsed time during recording in milliseconds. |
