<♫/> Rythm.js - v2.2.6

Build Status

Demo at: https://okazari.github.io/Rythm.js/

A JavaScript library that makes your page dance.

Getting started

Install with npm:

npm install rythm.js

Or get from a CDN:

https://unpkg.com/rythm.js/
https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/rythm.js/2.2.6/rythm.min.js

Good old way

Import rythm into your page:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/rythm.min.js"></script>

Add one of the rythm css classes to indicate which element will dance:

<div class="rythm-bass"></div>

Create a rythm object and give it your audio URL then use the start function:

var rythm = new Rythm()
rythm.setMusic('path/to/sample.mp3')
rythm.start()

ES6 module

import Rythm from 'rythm.js'
const rythm = new Rythm()
rythm.setMusic('path/to/sample.mp3')
rythm.start()

API documentation

Rythm object

const rythm = new Rythm()

/* The starting scale is the minimum scale your element will take (Scale ratio is startingScale + (pulseRatio * currentPulse)).
 * Value in percentage between 0 and 1
 * Default: 0.75
 */
rythm.startingScale = value

/* The pulse ratio is be the maximum additional scale your element will take (Scale ratio is startingScale + (pulseRatio * currentPulse)).
 * Value in percentage between 0 and 1
 * Default: 0.30
 */
rythm.pulseRatio = value

/* The max value history represent the number of passed value that will be stored to evaluate the current pulse.
 * Int value, minimum 1
 * Default: 100
 */
rythm.maxValueHistory = value

/* Set the music the page will dance to
 * @audioUrl: '../example/mysong.mp3'
 */
rythm.setMusic(audioUrl)

/* Used to collaborate with other players library.
 * You can connect Rythm to an audioElement, and then control the audio with your other player
 */
rythm.connectExternalAudioElement(audioElement)

/* Adjust audio gain
 * @value: Number
 */
rythm.setGain(value)

/* Add your own rythm-class
 * @elementClass: Class that you want to link your rythm to
 * @danceType: Use any of the built-in effect or give your own function
 * @startValue: The starting frequency of your rythm
 * @nbValue: The number of frequency of your rythm
 * 1024 Frequencies, your rythm will react to the average of your selected frequencies.
 * Examples: bass 0-10 ; medium 150-40 ; high 500-100
 */
rythm.addRythm(elementClass, danceType, startValue, nbValue)

/* Plug your computer microphone to rythm.js.
 * This function returns a Promise object that is resolved when the microphone is up.
 * Require your website to be run in HTTPS
 */
rythm.plugMicrophone().then(function(){...})

// Let's dance
rythm.start()

/* Stop the party
 * @freeze: Set this to true if you want to prevent the elements to reset to their initial position
 */
rythm.stop(freeze)

Built-in classes with "pulse" effect

  • rythm-bass
  • rythm-medium
  • rythm-high

Custom-classes

You can use the addRythm function to make your own classes listen to specific frequencies. Here is how the basics classes are created:

  • addRythm('rythm-bass', 'pulse', 0, 10)
  • addRythm('rythm-medium', 'pulse', 150, 40)
  • addRythm('rythm-high', 'pulse', 500, 100)

Dance types available

For more control of theses dance types, you can give a configuration object as last argument to addRythm:

addRythm('rythm-high', 'shake', 500, 100, { direction:'left', min: 20, max: 300 })

Here are the built-in dances and their options:

Custom dance type

If you want to use your own dance type, you need to give an object as the 2nd argument of addRythm instead of a built in dance key.

This object must have two properties:

  • dance: The custom function to make elements dance
  • reset: The associated custom function that will be called to reset element style
/* The custom function signature is
 * @elem: The HTML element target you want to apply your effect to
 * @value: The current pulse ratio (percentage between 0 and 1)
 * @options: The option object user can give as last argument of addRythm function
 */
const pulse = (elem, value, options = {}) => {
  const max = options.max || 1.25
  const min = options.min || 0.75
  const scale = (max - min) * value
  elem.style.transform = `scale(${min + scale})`
}

/* The reset function signature is
 * @elem: The element to reset
 */
const resetPulse = elem => {
  elem.style.transform = ''
}

addRythm('my-css-class', { dance: pulse, reset: resetPulse }, 150, 40)

Features

  • Your HTML can dance by using any of the available dance types.
  • You can use custom functions to build you own dance type (and if it looks awesome! Feel free to make a PR ;) )

  • Enjoy the rythm

Adding new dance type

In v2.2.x adding a new dance type is pretty easy:

  • Create a new file in src\dances
  • This file must export your custom dance type function
  • This file must export a reset function

For example, here is the content of jump.js file:

/* The function signature is
 * @elem: The HTML element target you want to apply your effect to
 * @value: The current pulse ratio (percentage between 0 and 1)
 * @options: The option object user can give as last argument of addRythm function
 */
export default (elem, value, options = {}) => {
  const max = options.max || 30
  const min = options.min || 0
  const jump = (max - min) * value
  elem.style.transform = `translateY(${-jump}px)`
}

/* The reset function signature is
 * @elem: The element to reset
 */
export const reset = elem => {
  elem.style.transform = ''
}
  • Import it and register it into the constructor of Dancer.js file:
import jump, { reset as resetJump } from './dances/jump.js'
class Dancer {
  constructor() {
    this.registerDance('jump', jump, resetJump)
  }
}
  • Commit it and create a PR. Then look at everyone enjoying your contribution :) !
