      Seventh argument that is passed to the event handler.

    • Optionalarg8: any

      Eighth argument that is passed to the event handler.

    Returns EventHandler

    Example

    obj.fire('test', 'This is the message');

getExternalNodes

hasEvent

  • hasEvent(name: string): boolean

  • Test if there are any handlers bound to an event name.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      The name of the event to test.

    Returns boolean

    True if the object has handlers bound to the specified event name.

    Example

    obj.on('test', function () { }); // bind an event to 'test'
    obj.hasEvent('test'); // returns true
    obj.hasEvent('hello'); // returns false

off

  • off(name?: string, callback?: HandleEventCallback, scope?: object): EventHandler

  • Detach an event handler from an event. If callback is not provided then all callbacks are unbound from the event, if scope is not provided then all events with the callback will be unbound.

    Parameters

    • Optionalname: string

      Name of the event to unbind.

    • Optionalcallback: HandleEventCallback

      Function to be unbound.

    • Optionalscope: object

      Scope that was used as the this when the event is fired.

    Returns EventHandler

    Self for chaining.

    Example

    const handler = function () {
    };
    obj.on('test', handler);

    obj.off(); // Removes all events
    obj.off('test'); // Removes all events called 'test'
    obj.off('test', handler); // Removes all handler functions, called 'test'
    obj.off('test', handler, this); // Removes all handler functions, called 'test' with scope this

on

  • on(name: string, callback: HandleEventCallback, scope?: object): EventHandle

  • Attach an event handler to an event.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      Name of the event to bind the callback to.

    • callback: HandleEventCallback

      Function that is called when event is fired. Note the callback is limited to 8 arguments.

    • Optionalscope: object = ...

      Object to use as 'this' when the event is fired, defaults to current this.

    Returns EventHandle

    Can be used for removing event in the future.

    Example

    obj.on('test', function (a, b) {
        console.log(a + b);
    });
    obj.fire('test', 1, 2); // prints 3 to the console

    Example

    const evt = obj.on('test', function (a, b) {
        console.log(a + b);
    });
    // some time later
    evt.off();

once

  • once(name: string, callback: HandleEventCallback, scope?: object): EventHandle

  • Attach an event handler to an event. This handler will be removed after being fired once.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      Name of the event to bind the callback to.

    • callback: HandleEventCallback

      Function that is called when event is fired. Note the callback is limited to 8 arguments.

    • Optionalscope: object = ...

      Object to use as 'this' when the event is fired, defaults to current this.

    Returns EventHandle

    • can be used for removing event in the future.

    obj.once('test', function (a, b) {
        console.log(a + b);
    });
    obj.fire('test', 1, 2); // prints 3 to the console
    obj.fire('test', 1, 2); // not going to get handled

pause

play

  • play(): boolean

  • Attempt to begin playback the sound. If the AudioContext is suspended, the audio will only start once it's resumed. If the sound is already playing, this will restart the sound.

    Returns boolean

    True if the sound was started immediately.

resume

setExternalNodes

  • setExternalNodes(firstNode: AudioNode, lastNode?: AudioNode): void

  • Connects external Web Audio API nodes. You need to pass the first node of the node graph that you created externally and the last node of that graph. The first node will be connected to the audio source and the last node will be connected to the destination of the AudioContext (e.g. speakers). Requires Web Audio API support.

    Parameters

    • firstNode: AudioNode

      The first node that will be connected to the audio source of sound instances.

    • OptionallastNode: AudioNode

      The last node that will be connected to the destination of the AudioContext. If unspecified then the firstNode will be connected to the destination instead.

    Returns void

    Example

    const context = app.systems.sound.context;
    const analyzer = context.createAnalyzer();
    const distortion = context.createWaveShaper();
    const filter = context.createBiquadFilter();
    analyzer.connect(distortion);
    distortion.connect(filter);
    instance.setExternalNodes(analyzer, filter);

stop
