README
SwiftySound
Overview
SwiftySound is a simple library that lets you deal with Swift sounds easily.
Static methods
Sound.play(file: "dog.wav")
Sound.play(url: fileURL)
More advanced example:
Sound.play(file: "dog", fileExtension: "wav", numberOfLoops: 2)
The above will play the sound three times.
Specify a negative number of loops to play the sound continously in an infinite loop:
Sound.play(file: "dog", fileExtension: "wav", numberOfLoops: -1)
Stop currently playing sounds:
Sound.stopAll()
Enable/disable all sounds:
Sound.enabled = true
Sound.enabled = false
The value of Sound.enabled
property will be automatically persisted in UserDefaults
and restored on the next launch of your app.
Change sound categories. SwiftySound provides a simple way of changing sound category:
Sound.category = .ambient
This changes the category of the underlying shared AVAudioSession
instance. The default value is SoundCategory.ambient
. Due to AVAudioSession
architecture, this property is not available on macOS.
Creating instances of Sound class
You can also create an instance of a Sound class and store it somewhere in your app.
let mySound = Sound(url: fileURL)
mySound.play()
Creating an instance has more benefits like the ability to adjust the volume and playback callbacks.
Change the volume
You can change the volume of each Sound instance.
mySound.volume = 0.5
The value of volume property should be between 0.0 and 1.0, where 1.0 is the maximum.
Callbacks
You can pass a callback to the play
method. It will be played after the sound finished playing. For looped sounds, the callback will be called once after the last loop has been played.
mySound.play { completed in
print("completed: \(completed)")
}
The callback is not called if the sound was stopped, interrupted or in case of a playback error.

Installation
Installation with CocoaPods
CocoaPods is a dependency manager which automates and simplifies the process of using third-party libraries in your projects. See the Get Started section for more details.
Podfile
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!
pod 'SwiftySound'
Installation with Carthage
Carthage is a lightweight dependency manager for Swift and Objective-C. It leverages CocoaTouch modules and is less invasive than CocoaPods.
To install with carthage, follow the instruction on Carthage
Cartfile
github "adamcichy/SwiftySound"
Installation with Swift Package Manager
The Swift Package Manager is a tool for managing the distribution of Swift code. Just add the url of this repo to your Package.swift
file as a dependency:
import PackageDescription
let package = Package(
name: "YourPackage",
dependencies: [
.Package(url: "https://github.com/adamcichy/SwiftySound.git",
majorVersion: 0)
]
)
Then run swift build
and wait for SPM to install SwiftySound.
Manual installation
Drop the Sound.swift
file into your project, link against AVFoundation.framework
and you are ready to go.
