Audio Recording with Custom Audio Player using Jquery and HTML5

Few days back one of my friend sent me an audio message in Facebook messenger, the moment I was realized that I haven’t covered this audio recording system on 9lessons.info. Today I want to discuss how to publish a voice recording messages on newsfeed using Jquery and HTML5 with custom HTML5 audio player. Take a quick look at the live demo, make sure use the microphone for better result.

Live Demo

Database
Newsfeed table contains all the user update details.

CREATE TABLE newsfeed(
id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
userUpdate TEXT,
user_id_fk INT,
audioMessage TEXT,
status ENUM('0','1') DEFAULT '1');

JavaScript
You have to include all these JavaScript library files.

Custom Audio Player HTML Code
HTML code for custom designed audio player, here the actual HTML5 player is in hidden mode. Number 10 refers to user's session id.

Audio Player CSS
Focus on colored CSS properties.

audio{display:none}
.audioContainer
{
height:50px;width:250px;
border:solid 1px #dedede;
position:relative;
}
.audioProgress
{
height:50px;float:left;background-color:#f2f2f2;z-index:800
}
.audioControl
{
position: absolute;float:left;width:52px;height:48px;;
}
.audioTime
{
position: absolute;width: 45px;height: 20px;margin-left:199px;float:right;
}
.audioBar
{
height: 3px;
background-color: #cc0000;
position: absolute;width: 147px;margin-left: 53px;
}
.audioPlay
{
background:url('../images/play.png') no-repeat
}
.audioPause
{
background:url('../images/pause.png') no-repeat
}

Audio JavaScript
Contains JavaScript code $('body').on('click','.audioControl', function()- audioControl is the CLASS name of the DIV tag. Using $(this).attr("id") calling the player ID.

// Utility method that will give audio formatted time
getAudioTimeByDec = function(cTime,duration)
{
var duration = parseInt(duration),
currentTime = parseInt(cTime),
left = duration - currentTime, second, minute;
second = (left % 60);
minute = Math.floor(left / 60) % 60;
second = second < 10 ? "0"+second : second;
minute = minute < 10 ? "0"+minute : minute;
return minute+":"+second;
};

// Custom Audio Control using Jquery
$("body").on("click",".audioControl", function(e)
{
var ID=$(this).attr("id");
var progressArea = $("#audioProgress"+ID);
var audioTimer = $("#audioTime"+ID);
var audio = $("#audio"+ID);
var audioCtrl = $(this);
e.preventDefault();
var R=$(this).attr('rel');
if(R=='play')
{
$(this).removeClass('audioPlay').addClass('audioPause').attr("rel","pause");
audio.trigger('play');
}
else
{
$(this).removeClass('audioPause').addClass('audioPlay').attr("rel","play");
audio.trigger('pause');
}

// Audio Event listener, its listens audio time update events and updates Progress area and Timer area
audio.bind("timeupdate", function(e)
{
var audioDOM = audio.get(0);
audioTimer.text(getAudioTimeByDec(audioDOM.currentTime,audioDOM.duration));
var audioPos = (audioDOM.currentTime / audioDOM.duration) * 100;
progressArea.css('width',audioPos+"%");
if(audioPos=="100")
{
$("#"+ID).removeClass('audioPause').addClass('audioPlay').attr("rel","play");
audio.trigger('pause');
}
});
// Custom Audio Control End
});

Controlling audio controls with Jquery trigger()

Record Button HTML Code
Contains simple HTML code.

<img src="images/Microphone.png" id="recordButton" class="recordOff">
<span id="recordHelp">Allow your microphone.</span>
<div id="recordContainer" class="startContainer">
<div id="recordTime"> <span id="sw_m">00</span>:<span id="sw_s">00</span></div>
<div id="recordCircle" class="startRecord"><div id="recordText">Record</div></div>
</div>

CSS

#recordCircle
{
margin: 0px auto;
font-weight: bold;
cursor: pointer;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
text-align: center;
-moz-border-radius: 50px;
-webkit-border-radius: 50px;
border-radius: 50px;
}

Record Button JavaScript
This script calls record.js for recording the audio.

$("body").on('click','.recordOn',function()
{
$("#recordContainer").toggle();
});
//Record Button
$("#recordCircle").mousedown(function()
{
$(this).removeClass('startRecord').addClass('stopRecord');
$("#recordContainer").removeClass('startContainer').addClass('stopContainer');
$("#recordText").html("Stop");
$.stopwatch.startTimer('sw'); // Stopwatch Start
startRecording(this); // Audio Recording Start
}).mouseup(function()
{
$.stopwatch.resetTimer(); // Stopwatch Reset
$(this).removeClass('stopRecord').addClass('startRecord');
$("#recordContainer").removeClass('stopContainer').addClass('startContainer');
$("#recordText").html("Record");
stopRecording(this); // Audio Recording Stop
});

record.js
Modified and included following code in record.js for storing the audio data in Base64 format.

function uploadAudioBase64(audiosrc)
{
var dataString ='audiosrc='+audiosrc;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "uploadAudio.php",
data: dataString,
cache: false,
success: function(html)
{
var ID = Number(new Date()); //Timestamp
var A='<div class="audioContainer">'
+'<div class="audioProgress" id="audioProgress'+ID+'" style="width:0px"></div>'
+'<div class="audioControl audioPlay" rel="play" id="'+ID+'"></div>'
+'<div class="audioTime" id="audioTime'+ID+'">00.00</div>'
+'<div class="audioBar"></div>'
+'<audio preload="auto" src="'+audiosrc+'" type="audio/mpeg" class="a" id="audio'+ID+'"><source></audio>'
+'</div>';
var B='<div class="stbody"><div class="stimg ">'
+'<a href="https://labs.9lessons.info/srinivas"><img src="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/c9e85bd3f889cc998dd1bb71d832634b?d=mm&s=230" class="big_face " alt="You" ></a></div>'
+'<div class="sttext"><div class="sttext_content"><span class="sttext_span"><b><a href="https://labs.9lessons.info/srinivas">You</a></b> </span>'
+A
+'</div></div></div>';
$(".recordingslist").prepend(B);
}
});
}

updateAudio.php
Inserting the audio Base64 data into newsfeed along with user session id.

<?php
include('db.php');
$session_id='1';
if($_POST['audiosrc'] && !empty($session_id))
{
$audiosrc=$_POST['audiosrc'];
$query=mysqli_query($db,"INSERT INTO `newsfeed` (`user_id_fk`, `audioMessage`) VALUES ( '$session_id', '$audiosrc')")or die(mysqli_error($db));
}
?>

This way data will store audio data into newsfeed table.
Audio Recording with Jquery and HTML5

db.php
Database connection you have to modify username, password and database values.

<?php
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'username');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'database');
$db = mysqli_connect(DB_SERVER, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD,DB_DATABASE) or die(mysqli_connect_error());
$path = "uploads/"; //Images upload folder
?>
