Getting Started with Audio Recorder

Dieser Inhalt ist in Ihrer Sprache noch nicht verfügbar.

This guide will walk you through integrating the Capacitor Audio Recorder plugin into your application.

Installation

Install the plugin using npm:

npm install @capgo/capacitor-audio-recorder
npx cap sync

iOS Configuration

Add the following to your Info.plist:

<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app needs access to the microphone to record audio</string>

Android Configuration

Add the following permissions to your AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Web Configuration

The plugin uses the MediaRecorder API. Requires HTTPS in production.

Basic Usage

Import the Plugin

import { AudioRecorder } from '@capgo/capacitor-audio-recorder';

Request Permissions

const requestPermission = async () => {
  const permission = await AudioRecorder.requestPermissions();
  console.log('Permission status:', permission.recordAudio);
};

Start Recording

const startRecording = async () => {
  await AudioRecorder.startRecording();
  console.log('Recording started');
};

Stop Recording

const stopRecording = async () => {
  const result = await AudioRecorder.stopRecording();
  console.log('Recording path:', result.filePath);
  console.log('Duration:', result.duration);
};

Pause/Resume Recording

const pauseRecording = async () => {
  await AudioRecorder.pauseRecording();
  console.log('Recording paused');
};

const resumeRecording = async () => {
  await AudioRecorder.resumeRecording();
  console.log('Recording resumed');
};

Get Status

const getStatus = async () => {
  const status = await AudioRecorder.getStatus();
  console.log('Is recording:', status.isRecording);
  console.log('Duration:', status.currentTime);
};

Complete Example

Here’s a complete voice recorder implementation:

import { AudioRecorder } from '@capgo/capacitor-audio-recorder';

class VoiceRecorder {
  private isRecording = false;
  private isPaused = false;
  private recordingPath: string | null = null;

  async initialize() {
    const permission = await AudioRecorder.checkPermissions();

    if (permission.recordAudio !== 'granted') {
      const requested = await AudioRecorder.requestPermissions();

      if (requested.recordAudio !== 'granted') {
        throw new Error('Microphone permission denied');
      }
    }
  }

  async startRecording() {
    try {
      await AudioRecorder.startRecording();
      this.isRecording = true;
      this.isPaused = false;
      console.log('Recording started');
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Failed to start recording:', error);
      throw error;
    }
  }

  async pauseRecording() {
    if (!this.isRecording || this.isPaused) {
      return;
    }

    try {
      await AudioRecorder.pauseRecording();
      this.isPaused = true;
      console.log('Recording paused');
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Failed to pause recording:', error);
      throw error;
    }
  }

  async resumeRecording() {
    if (!this.isRecording || !this.isPaused) {
      return;
    }

    try {
      await AudioRecorder.resumeRecording();
      this.isPaused = false;
      console.log('Recording resumed');
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Failed to resume recording:', error);
      throw error;
    }
  }

  async stopRecording() {
    if (!this.isRecording) {
      return null;
    }

    try {
      const result = await AudioRecorder.stopRecording();
      this.isRecording = false;
      this.isPaused = false;
      this.recordingPath = result.filePath;

      console.log('Recording stopped');
      console.log('File path:', result.filePath);
      console.log('Duration:', result.duration, 'seconds');

      return result;
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Failed to stop recording:', error);
      throw error;
    }
  }

  async getCurrentStatus() {
    const status = await AudioRecorder.getStatus();
    return {
      isRecording: status.isRecording,
      duration: status.currentTime,
      isPaused: this.isPaused
    };
  }

  formatDuration(seconds: number): string {
    const mins = Math.floor(seconds / 60);
    const secs = Math.floor(seconds % 60);
    return `${mins}:${secs.toString().padStart(2, '0')}`;
  }

  getRecordingPath(): string | null {
    return this.recordingPath;
  }
}

// Usage
const recorder = new VoiceRecorder();

// Initialize
await recorder.initialize();

// Start recording
await recorder.startRecording();

// Pause
await recorder.pauseRecording();

// Resume
await recorder.resumeRecording();

// Stop and get result
const result = await recorder.stopRecording();
console.log('Recording saved:', result?.filePath);

Advanced Configuration

Configure Audio Quality

const startHighQualityRecording = async () => {
  await AudioRecorder.startRecording({
    format: 'aac',           // aac, mp3, or wav
    sampleRate: 44100,       // 44100 Hz (CD quality)
    channels: 2,             // Stereo
    bitRate: 320000          // 320 kbps
  });
};

Configure for Voice

const startVoiceRecording = async () => {
  await AudioRecorder.startRecording({
    format: 'aac',
    sampleRate: 16000,       // 16 kHz (voice optimized)
    channels: 1,             // Mono
    bitRate: 64000           // 64 kbps
  });
};

UI Integration Example

class AudioRecorderUI {
  private recorder: VoiceRecorder;
  private updateInterval: any;

  constructor() {
    this.recorder = new VoiceRecorder();
  }

  async init() {
    await this.recorder.initialize();
    this.setupEventListeners();
  }

  setupEventListeners() {
    const recordButton = document.getElementById('record-btn');
    const pauseButton = document.getElementById('pause-btn');
    const stopButton = document.getElementById('stop-btn');

    recordButton?.addEventListener('click', () => this.handleRecord());
    pauseButton?.addEventListener('click', () => this.handlePause());
    stopButton?.addEventListener('click', () => this.handleStop());
  }

  async handleRecord() {
    await this.recorder.startRecording();
    this.startDurationUpdate();
    this.updateUI('recording');
  }

  async handlePause() {
    const status = await this.recorder.getCurrentStatus();

    if (status.isPaused) {
      await this.recorder.resumeRecording();
      this.updateUI('recording');
    } else {
      await this.recorder.pauseRecording();
      this.updateUI('paused');
    }
  }

  async handleStop() {
    const result = await this.recorder.stopRecording();
    this.stopDurationUpdate();
    this.updateUI('stopped');

    if (result) {
      this.showRecordingResult(result);
    }
  }

  startDurationUpdate() {
    this.updateInterval = setInterval(async () => {
      const status = await this.recorder.getCurrentStatus();
      this.updateDurationDisplay(status.duration);
    }, 100);
  }

  stopDurationUpdate() {
    if (this.updateInterval) {
      clearInterval(this.updateInterval);
    }
  }

  updateDurationDisplay(duration: number) {
    const display = document.getElementById('duration');
    if (display) {
      display.textContent = this.recorder.formatDuration(duration);
    }
  }

  updateUI(state: 'recording' | 'paused' | 'stopped') {
    // Update button states, colors, etc.
    console.log('UI state:', state);
  }

  showRecordingResult(result: any) {
    console.log('Recording complete:', result);
    // Show playback UI, save options, etc.
  }
}

// Initialize UI
const ui = new AudioRecorderUI();
ui.init();

Best Practices

Request Permissions Early: Check permissions before showing recording UI
Handle Interruptions: Phone calls, alarms can interrupt recording
Manage Storage: Clean up old recordings to save space
Provide Feedback: Show recording status, duration, and waveform
Test on Devices: Simulators/emulators have limited audio support

Common Issues

Permission Denied

const handlePermissionDenied = async () => {
  const permission = await AudioRecorder.checkPermissions();

  if (permission.recordAudio === 'denied') {
    alert('Microphone permission is required to record audio. Please enable it in Settings.');
  }
};

Recording Interrupted

// Handle app going to background
document.addEventListener('pause', async () => {
  const status = await recorder.getCurrentStatus();
  if (status.isRecording) {
    await recorder.pauseRecording();
    // Notify user
  }
});

Storage Management

const cleanupOldRecordings = async () => {
  // Implement cleanup logic
  // Delete recordings older than X days
  // Or keep only last N recordings
};
