Streaming Audio Player app develop by Angular

If you want to make a real-time angular application. I give A Streaming Audio Player application tutorial. I think you will be very enjoy this tutorial.

Introduction

This app is developed with JavaScript technology. here you can manage JavaScript Audio objects and Angular Material using UI(User Interface). From UI we can manage Audio States.

Prerequisites

When you will be start any angular project first you need a NodeJS Environment in your system. After that, you need Angular CLI (Command Line Interface).

npm install -g @angular/cli

If you are using Linux or Mac OS System then you will be writing sudo before the command.

Application Project Creation:

Now we need to create a Project Scaffolding.

ng new AudioProject 

After then getting Two questions.

  1. Would you like to add Angular routing? (y/N): You can input N (no) as you are going to use Angular Routing in the app.
  2. Which stylesheet format would you like to use? (Use arrow keys): Select SCSS from the options given.

Running The Project

First need to go project folder cd AudioProject using this command. Then we will run our basic application npm start using this command. After that, you will get the default interface on your browser using http://localhost:4200 this URL address.

Installing Angular Material UI

If the project works fine. then we need to install angular material dependency in our project.

ng add @angular/material

after this command, you will get these questions.

  1. Choose a pre-built theme name, or “custom” for a custom theme: Choose Indigo/Pink
  2. Set up browser animations for Angular Material? (Y/n): you can input y (yes) again because you will need animation.

Here we need another dependency  moment.js to manipulate dates and times. Install it via npm:

npm install --save moment

Audio Player UI creates by Angular Material

In this section, you will design the UI of the application. In the end, your application will look like this:

First, need to Add Material Modules in app.module.ts. Follow The Procedure first we need another module called material.module.ts. Use this command

ng generate module material --flat 

–flat flag is important for non-directory module creation. then write the code:

Go to the SRC folder and then open the app folder and Write these codes in

metarial.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { MatButtonModule } from '@angular/material/button';
import { MatListModule } from '@angular/material/list';
import { MatSliderModule } from '@angular/material/slider';
import { MatIconModule } from '@angular/material/icon';
import { MatToolbarModule } from '@angular/material/toolbar';
import { MatCardModule } from '@angular/material/card';

const modules = [
  MatButtonModule,
  MatListModule,
  MatSliderModule,
  MatIconModule,
  MatToolbarModule,
  MatCardModule
];

@NgModule({
  imports: modules,
  exports: modules
})
export class MaterialModule { }

          font-size: 48px !important;
        }
      }
   }
}

After writing these codes we need to create an AudioService class using the angular command

ng generate service services/audio

Here we are creating an HtmlAudio object and Manipulate with RXJS classes and functions. See The codes.

Here we need moment js. This is a third-party library for Time Format support. so it needs to be installed from the npm server.

npm install moment --save

audio.service.ts

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Observable, BehaviorSubject, Subject } from "rxjs";
import { takeUntil } from "rxjs/operators";
import * as moment from "moment";
import { StreamState } from '../interfaces/stream-state';

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class AudioService {
  private state: StreamState = {
    playing: false,
    readableCurrentTime: '',
    readableDuration: '',
    duration: undefined,
    currentTime: undefined,
    volume: 0.5,
    canplay: false,
    error: false,
  };
  private stop$ = new Subject();
  private audioObj = new Audio();
  audioEvents = [
    "ended",
    "error",
    "play",
    "playing",
    "pause",
    "timeupdate",
    "canplay",
    "loadedmetadata",
    "loadstart"
  ];
  private stateChange: BehaviorSubject<streamstate> = new BehaviorSubject(
    this.state
  );

  constructor() {
  }

  private updateStateEvents(event: Event): void {
    switch (event.type) {
      case "canplay":
        this.state.duration = this.audioObj.duration;
        this.state.readableDuration = this.formatTime(this.state.duration);
        this.state.canplay = true;
        break;
      case "playing":
        this.state.playing = true;
        break;
      case "pause":
        this.state.playing = false;
        break;
      case "timeupdate":
        this.state.currentTime = this.audioObj.currentTime;
        this.state.readableCurrentTime = this.formatTime(
          this.state.currentTime
        );
        break;
      case "error":
        this.resetState();
        this.state.error = true;
        break;
    }
    this.stateChange.next(this.state);
  }

  private resetState() {
    this.state = {
      playing: false,
      readableCurrentTime: '',
      readableDuration: '',
      duration: undefined,
      currentTime: undefined,
      volume: 0.5,
      canplay: false,
      error: false
    };
  }

  getState(): Observable<streamstate> {
    return this.stateChange.asObservable();
  }
  
  private streamObservable(url) {
    return new Observable(observer =&gt; {
      // Play audio
      this.audioObj.src = url;
      this.audioObj.load();
      this.audioObj.play();

      const handler = (event: Event) =&gt; {
        this.updateStateEvents(event);
        observer.next(event);
      };

      this.addEvents(this.audioObj, this.audioEvents, handler);
      return () =&gt; {
        // Stop Playing
        this.audioObj.pause();
        this.audioObj.currentTime = 0;
        // remove event listeners
        this.removeEvents(this.audioObj, this.audioEvents, handler);
        // reset state
        this.resetState();
      };
    });
  }

  private addEvents(obj, events, handler) {
    events.forEach(event =&gt; {
      obj.addEventListener(event, handler);
    });
  }

  private removeEvents(obj, events, handler) {
    events.forEach(event =&gt; {
      obj.removeEventListener(event, handler);
    });
  }

  playStream(url) {
    return this.streamObservable(url).pipe(takeUntil(this.stop$));
  }

  play() {
    this.audioObj.play();
  }

  pause() {
    this.audioObj.pause();
  }

  stop() {
    this.stop$.next();
  }

  seekTo(seconds) {
    this.audioObj.currentTime = seconds;
  }

  setVolume(volume) {
    this.audioObj.volume = volume;
  }

  formatTime(time: number, format: string = "HH:mm:ss") {
    const momentTime = time * 1000;
    return moment.utc(momentTime).format(format);
  }
}

Finally, we need a Cloud Audio list. So we need a CloudService class. So we will use this angular command.

ng generate service services/cloud

cloud.service.ts

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { of } from "rxjs";

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class CloudService {
  files: any = [
    // tslint:disable-next-line: max-line-length
    {
      url:"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-audio-bank/staging/2020-02-19/d658d0c51440a105d3b5708ec5cbfea1.m4a",
      name: "How to improve yourself",
      artist: "Shibaji Debnath"
    },
    {
      url:"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-audio-bank/staging/2020-03-05/6295d331c4f0a5a77c54c391ee76aabf.m4a",
      name:"You will be successfull. If you ask yourself 'Why'",
      artist: "Shibaji Debnath",
    },
    {
      url:"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/anchor-audio-bank/staging/2020-02-03/648e6a1cf78f0005ab9b127bd81e6bfc.m4a",
      name: "Build your career as you think. Question youself 'How'",
      artist: "Shibaji Debnath"
    }
  ];

  constructor() { }

  getFiles() {
    return of(this.files);
  }
}

After writing all these codes. open the assets folder there put image1.jpg a named picture. Then Finally Run the development server using

npm start
