How to use sound about p5-typescript-starter HOT 7 CLOSED

this might get resolved soon.
There are a couple of PRs that relate to this.
processing/p5.js#5569
DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#58331

from p5-typescript-starter.

@ihateids for now maybe just define he missing method at the top of your sketch.ts file.

declare function loadSound(path: string): p5.SoundFile;

Let me know how you get on.

from p5-typescript-starter.

There is currently some missing global typings with regards to the sound and dom addons.

// won't work 
mySound = loadSound('assets/doorbell');

// try this instead
mySound = new p5.SoundFile('assets/doorbell');

Documentation here: https://p5js.org/reference/#/p5.SoundFile

More information on the issue here: p5-types/p5.ts#16

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more information :)

Thank you for the quick update. I tried the proposed solution, but it has a small drawback. The 'new p5.SoundFile' will load the sound in an asynchronous manner. It requires a callback to capture an event that the sound has been loaded.

The issue is, that after calling 'new p5.SoundFile', code will continue with P5 setup and draw function. If I want to play the sound in the setup function, for instance, the sound may not be loaded yet and the whole code breaks. I want to use it in preload function and trying to 'Promise'-fy it somehow did not work for me.

Since my aim is to use/share publicly available examples of how to use sound in P5, is there any suggested way how to preload sound without tricky hacks while using the suggested 'new p5.SoundFile', please?

@ihateids I think that the loadSound works in the same way. In the p5 documentation is suggests putting the method inside the preload function

function preload() {
    mySound = new p5.SoundFile('assets/doorbell')
}

I think this is what you're looking for.

Unfortunately not. Let me try to depict the issue with a screenshot from firefox console:

and here is sample code:

let sound: p5.SoundFile;

function soundLoaded() {
  console.log('Sound loaded');
}

// P5 will call this function to preload any assets (sounds, sprites, etc) and will continue with setup only when finished
function preload() {
   sound = new p5.SoundFile('assets/ding.mp3', soundLoaded);
   console.log('Preload finished');
}

function setup() {
  console.log("🚀 - Setup initialized - P5 is running");
  createCanvas(windowWidth, windowHeight);
  sound.play();
}

oh yes, that is the hack needed. Thank you so much for your help :)
