The SoundFile object is a part of the p5.sound which is a library of JavaScript. This object contains so many functions nearly 30+ functions are there. Each one of them is useful to design a sounded website. By using this object you can easily add audio into your website and play, pause, stop anything you want. To do so you just need to attach the sound library in your index file. To do that we will follow some procedure that is mentioned below one by one.

  • Step 1: First, you have to download the p5.Sound library from this link, after opening this link go for p5.js complete section like below. 

  • Step 2: After downloading the file you have to unzip the folder then you will some files inside the p5.js folder like index.html, sketch.js by opening the index.html file you will see p5.js is already linked to it you can change that for faster performance by replacing that script with the below script. 

<script src=”../p5.min.js”></script>

The Sample HTML page may look like this: 

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <script src=”../p5.min.js”></script>
        <script src="sketch.js"></script>
    </head>
     
    <body>
    </body>
</html>


  • Step 3:In this step, we will set up the code editor for p5.js. The best code editor, in my opinion, is Brackets, Atom. But you can use others also like Notepad++, Sublime, etc.
  • Step 4: Now open your editor and trace down to your p5.js folder location and open the sketch.js file. In this file we will perform the task, here we will write our script to test this library and use them on our website.
  • Step 5: In this step, you will get to know how to use it. 

Javascript




function setup() {
 
}
 
function draw() {
  ellipse(50, 50, 80, 80);
}


You will get something like this:
