Section 1.2: Building the Audio Player

To construct your audio player, you will need to implement the following functionalities:

1. Utilize a range input to allow users to adjust the playback position.
2. Bind this input to a reactive property called seekValue using v-model.
3. Attach an event handler to update the audio's currentTime when the user modifies the input.

The audio element will play the desired audio file, and by listening for the timeUpdate event, you can track the current playback time. Assign a reference to the audio element for future manipulations.

Below the audio player, display the current playback time and include buttons for playing, pausing, stopping, and adjusting the playback speed.

The data method will return two reactive properties: currentTime and seekValue.

The play method will retrieve the audio element from the reference and call play() on it. Similarly, the pause method will call pause(), and the stop method will reset the audio to the start by setting currentTime to 0.

To change the playback speed, use the setSpeed method to adjust the playbackRate property. The onPlaying method will update the currentTime and seekValue whenever the timeUpdate event is triggered, ensuring the range slider remains in sync with the audio's current position.

Finally, the onSeek method will be called when the user adjusts the range input, allowing you to calculate the new currentTime based on the seekValue.

Conclusion

With these steps, you've successfully integrated an audio player using Vue 3 and JavaScript.
