I apologize in advance, I'm still very new to Vuejs in general. I'm trying to import CreateJS / SoundJS into a .vue component. I have installed CreateJS via npm. I just don't know how to import the library into the component so I can reference the sound functions. I can't seem to find anything in the CreateJS docs for this type of usage... any code or reference links would be most appreciated. Thanks!
Well, I did an example using the CreateJS/SoundJS library import it from its CDN.
In the public/index.html file, add the tag:
<script src="https://code.createjs.com/1.0.0/soundjs.min.js"></script>
Now you have the library in your project, and you have access to it and its functionality.
In the src/main.js add the library to be used with Vue adding it to the Vue prototype:
import Vue from "vue";
import App from "./App.vue";
const createjs = window.createjs; // Get the createjs instance from window object
Vue.config.productionTip = false;
Vue.prototype.createjs = createjs; // Add the createjs instance to the Vue prototy, to use this.createjs
new Vue({
render: h => h(App)
}).$mount("#app");
In the src/App.vue component (or any component, but App.vue is the entry point of the application, so it's a good place to do it) configure the sounds:
<template>
<div id="app">
<img alt="Vue logo" src="./assets/logo.png" />
<HelloWorld msg="Welcome to Your Vue.js App" />
<button @click="play">Play</button>
<!-- button to call the play method -->
</div>
</template>
<script>
import HelloWorld from "./components/HelloWorld.vue";
const hornSound = require("@/assets/hey.mp3"); // Store a mp3 file in a variable, You can add more sounds, here on in another components
export default {
name: "App",
components: {
HelloWorld
},
methods: {
play() {
this.createjs.Sound.play("Horn"); // Acces and play the sound with the id "Horn"
}
},
created() {
const soundId = "Horn"; // Id of the sound to be registered
this.createjs.Sound.registerSound(hornSound, soundId); // Register the sound, using the mp3 and the id
// You can do this with any amount of sounds, here or in any component
// Once a sound is registered, you have access to it in all the components
}
};
</script>
Playing the sound from a child component (src/components/HelloWorld.vue):
<template>
<div class="hello">
<h3>Hello World with createjs/soundjs</h3>
<button @click="playFromChild">Play inside child component</button>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: "HelloWorld",
props: {
msg: String
},
methods: {
playFromChild() {
this.createjs.Sound.play("Horn"); // We are accessing to the sound with id "Horn" without import anything
}
}
};
</script>
I hope this help you, I tried to explain how to use it but as you said, there is not documentation about it, so maybe this is tricky but it works.
