@types/audioworklet - Types for the global scope of Audio Worklets

The AudioWorklet interface of the Web Audio API is used to supply custom audio processing scripts that execute in a separate thread to provide very low latency audio processing. The worklet's code is run in the AudioWorkletGlobalScope global execution context, using a separate Web Audio thread which is shared by the worklet and other audio nodes.

From MDN Web Docs: AudioWorklet

This package contains type definitions which will set up the global environment for your TypeScript project to match the runtime environment of an Audio Worklet. The APIs inside @types/audioworklet are generated from the specifications for Web Audio.

Installation

To use @types/audioworklet you need to do two things:

1. Install the dependency: npm install @types/audioworklet --save-dev, yarn add @types/audioworklet --dev or pnpm add @types/audioworklet --dev.

2. Update your tsconfig.json to avoid clashing with the DOM APIs. There are two cases to consider depending on if you have lib defined in your tsconfig.json or not.

   1. Without "lib" - You will need to add "lib": []. The value you want to add inside your lib should correlate to your "target". For example if you had "target": "es2017", then you would add "lib": ["es2017"]
   2. With "lib" - You should remove "dom".

That's all.

If you'd like to ensure that the DOM types are never accidentally included, you can use @orta/types-noop in TypeScript 4.5+.

SemVer

This project does not respect semantic versioning as almost every change could potentially break a project, though we try to minimize removing types.

@types/audioworklet follow the specifications, so when they mark a function/object/API/type as deprecated or removed - that is respected.
