AudioWorkletProcessor.port - Web APIs 编辑

Experimental

This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The read-only port property of the AudioWorkletProcessor interface returns the associated MessagePort. It can be used to communicate between the processor and the AudioWorkletNode to which it belongs.

Note: The port at the other end of the channel is available under the port property of the node.

Syntax

AudioWorkletProcessorInstance.port;

Value

The MessagePort object that is connecting the AudioWorkletProcessor and the associated AudioWorkletNode.

Examples

To demonstrate bidirectional communication capabilities, we'll create an AudioWorkletProcessor, which will output silence and respond to ping requests from its AudioWorkletNode.

First, we need to define a custom AudioWorkletProcessor, and register it. Note that this should be done in a separate file.

// ping-pong-processor.js
class PingPongProcessor extends AudioWorkletProcessor {
  constructor (...args) {
    super(...args)
    this.port.onmessage = (e) => {
      console.log(e.data)
      this.port.postMessage('pong')
    }
  }
  process (inputs, outputs, parameters) {
    return true
  }
}

registerProcessor('ping-pong-processor', PingPongProcessor)

Now in our main scripts file we'll load the processor, create an instance of AudioWorkletNode passing the name of the processor, and connect the node to an audio graph.

const audioContext = new AudioContext()
await audioContext.audioWorklet.addModule('ping-pong-processor.js')
const pingPongNode = new AudioWorkletNode(audioContext, 'ping-pong-processor')
// send the message containing 'ping' string
// to the AudioWorkletProcessor from the AudioWorkletNode every second
setInterval(() => pingPongNode.port.postMessage('ping'), 1000)
pingPongNode.port.onmessage = (e) => console.log(e.data)
pingPongNode.connect(audioContext.destination)

This will output "ping" and "pong" strings to the console every second.
