ReactWaves

React component wrapper for Wavesurfer.js

Background

This component was originally based off of the work done in react-wavesurfer by @mspae (and others). After wavesurfer-js released version 2, and the react-wavesurfer projected became unmaintained, I decided that it was safer to start my own version that I had better control over.

Version 4.x

To align this component nicer with the base wavesurfer.js project, I decided to skip version 2 and go straight to version 3. With wavesurfer now on version 4, we have made the necessary updates and are now also on v4.

Issues

Please report any issues you encounter and I will try my best to get them fixed.
