JSPM – react-native-audio@3.4.0

Package Exports

react-native-audio

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (react-native-audio) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Record audio in iOS or Android React Native apps.

BREAKING CHANGES

For React Native >= 0.40, use v3.1.0 and up. For React Native <= 0.39, use v3.0.0 or lower.

v3.x removed playback support in favor of using more mature libraries like react-native-sound. If you need to play from the network, please submit a PR to that project or try react-native-video.

Installation

Install the npm package and link it to your project:

npm install react-native-audio --save
react-native link react-native-audio

On iOS you need to add a usage description to Info.plist:

<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>This sample uses the microphone to record your speech and convert it to text.</string>

On Android you need to add a permission to AndroidManifest.xml:

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

Running the Sample App

In the AudioExample directory:

npm install
react-native run-ios
react-native run-android
