Creating a Recorder Instance

To use the Recorder, create a new instance:

const recorder = new Recorder();

Event Listeners

The Recorder emits events during its lifecycle that you can listen to for updates:

• start: Triggered when the recording starts.

recorder.addEventListener('start', () => {
  console.log('Recording started');
});

• volumechange: Triggered when there's a change in the recording volume, providing a volume parameter.

recorder.addEventListener('volumechange', ({ volume }) => {
  console.log('Current volume:', volume);
});

• stop: Triggered when the recording stops, providing the recorded audio as a blob.

recorder.addEventListener('stop', ({ blob }) => {
  console.log('Recording stopped. Audio Blob:', blob);
});

Starting and Stopping a Recording

To begin recording, use the startRecording method. Once done, stop the recording using the stopRecording method:

await recorder.startRecording(); // Starts the recording process

recorder.stopRecording(); // Stops the recording and triggers the 'stop' event
