extractWaveform method

  1. @override
Future<WaveformData> extractWaveform({
  1. required String inputPath,
  2. int samplesPerSecond = 100,
  3. ProgressCallback? onProgress,
})
override

Extracts waveform amplitude data from an audio file

Analyzes the audio file and extracts amplitude values for visualization. The extracted data can be used to create waveform displays in your UI.

inputPath - Path to the input audio file samplesPerSecond - Number of amplitude samples per second (default: 100) onProgress - Optional callback for extraction progress (0.0 to 1.0)

Returns WaveformData containing amplitude values and audio information. Throws WaveformExtractionException if extraction fails.

Implementation

@override
Future<WaveformData> extractWaveform({
  required String inputPath,
  int samplesPerSecond = 100,
  ProgressCallback? onProgress,
}) async {
  try {
    // For web platform, return a realistic fake waveform since
    // Web Audio API has CORS and file access limitations
    onProgress?.call(0.2);

    // Get basic audio info first to estimate duration
    AudioInfo? audioInfo;
    try {
      audioInfo = await getAudioInfo(inputPath);
    } catch (e) {
      // If we can't get audio info, use default duration
      audioInfo = null;
    }

    onProgress?.call(0.5);

    final duration = audioInfo?.durationMs ?? 30000; // 30 seconds default
    final totalSamples = (duration * samplesPerSecond / 1000).round();
    final amplitudes = <double>[];

    // Generate a realistic-looking waveform based on the URL hash
    final random = Random(inputPath.hashCode);

    for (int i = 0; i < totalSamples; i++) {
      final timeRatio = i / totalSamples;

      // Create multiple wave patterns for realism
      final wave1 = sin(timeRatio * 2 * pi * 2) * 0.3;
      final wave2 = sin(timeRatio * 2 * pi * 0.5) * 0.4;
      final wave3 = sin(timeRatio * 2 * pi * 8) * 0.1;
      final noise = (random.nextDouble() - 0.5) * 0.3;

      // Add envelope for natural audio characteristics
      final envelope = _calculateEnvelope(timeRatio);

      final amplitude = ((wave1 + wave2 + wave3 + noise) * envelope + 0.5)
          .clamp(0.0, 1.0);
      amplitudes.add(amplitude);
    }

    onProgress?.call(1.0);

    return WaveformData(
      amplitudes: amplitudes,
      durationMs: duration,
      sampleRate: 44100,
      channels: 2,
    );
  } catch (e) {
    throw Exception('Failed to extract waveform on web: $e');
