@ra2web/wavefile

A WAV file processing library extracted from the ra2web project. This library provides comprehensive functionality for reading, writing, and manipulating WAV audio files.

Features

• Read and write WAV files
• Support for various bit depths (8, 16, 24, 32, 64-bit)
• Support for floating-point audio formats (32f, 64)
• Audio compression formats (IMA-ADPCM, A-Law, μ-Law)
• Sample rate conversion
• Bit depth conversion
• Audio format conversion
• Base64 encoding/decoding
• Data URI support

Installation

npm install @ra2web/wavefile

Usage

Basic Usage

import { WaveFile } from '@ra2web/wavefile';

// Create a new WaveFile instance
const wav = new WaveFile();

// Load from buffer
const buffer = /* your audio buffer */;
wav.fromBuffer(buffer);

// Access audio properties
console.log('Sample Rate:', wav.fmt.sampleRate);
console.log('Channels:', wav.fmt.numChannels);
console.log('Bit Depth:', wav.bitDepth);

// Get samples
const samples = wav.getSamples();

// Convert to different formats
wav.toBitDepth('16');
wav.toSampleRate(44100);

// Export as buffer
const outputBuffer = wav.toBuffer();

Format Conversion

// Convert to different compression formats
wav.toALaw();        // Convert to A-Law
wav.toMuLaw();       // Convert to μ-Law
wav.toIMAADPCM();    // Convert to IMA-ADPCM

// Convert from compressed formats
wav.fromALaw();
wav.fromMuLaw();
wav.fromIMAADPCM();

Base64 and Data URI Support

// Convert to Base64
const base64String = wav.toBase64();

// Load from Base64
wav.fromBase64(base64String);

// Convert to Data URI
const dataUri = wav.toDataURI();

// Load from Data URI
wav.fromDataURI(dataUri);
