Why does the update of this computed property fail in my Vue 3 app?

Time:12-25

I am working on an audio player with Vue 3 and the Napster API.

Project details

I have made the vinyl spin with the help of a CSS keyframes-based animation and the isSpinning computed property.

I want the vinyl to stop spinning once the end of the current track is reached, which is why isSpinning has this "formula":

isSpinning() {
  return this.isPlaying && !this.player.ended;
}

const musicApp = {
  data() {
    return {
      player: new Audio(),
      trackCount: 0,
      tracks: [],
      muted: false,
      isPlaying: false
    };
  },
  methods: {
    async getTracks() {
      try {
        const response = await axios
          .get(
            "https://api.napster.com/v2.1/tracks/top?apikey=ZTk2YjY4MjMtMDAzYy00MTg4LWE2MjYtZDIzNjJmMmM0YTdm"
          )
          .catch((error) => {
            console.log(error);
          });
        this.tracks = response;
        this.tracks = response.data.tracks;
      } catch (error) {
        console.log(error);
      }
    },
    nextTrack() {
      if (this.trackCount < this.tracks.length - 1) {
        this.trackCount  ;
        this.setPlayerSource();
        this.playPause();
      }
    },
    prevTrack() {
      if (this.trackCount >= 1) {
        this.trackCount--;
        this.setPlayerSource();
        this.playPause();
      }
    },
    setPlayerSource() {
      this.player.src = this.tracks[this.trackCount].previewURL;
    },
    playPause() {
      if (this.player.paused) {
        this.isPlaying = true;
        this.player.play();
      } else {
        this.isPlaying = false;
        this.player.pause();
      }
    },
    toggleMute() {
      this.player.muted = !this.player.muted;
      this.muted = this.player.muted;
    }
  },
  async created() {
    await this.getTracks();
    this.setPlayerSource();
  },
  computed: {
    isSpinning() {
      return this.isPlaying && !this.player.ended;
    }
  }
};

The problem

But, to my surprise, the app is unaware of the fact that the value of this.player.ended has changed (or is supposed to).

What am I doing wrong?

CodePudding user response:

An Audio object will not function in the same manner as normal JavaScript objects in Vue, as the internals that Vue uses to abstract away state change observation will not be maintained when the Audio object changes state. In other words, the thing that allows Vue to detect the Audio object switching from ended === false to ended === true won't work, preventing Vue from knowing that the component needs to be updated.

If you wish to observe a change in ended state, then you'll want to add a custom event listener to the object in your created hook to toggle the spinning state and simply remove the ended check:

const musicApp = {
  data() {
    return {
      player: new Audio(),
      trackCount: 0,
      tracks: [],
      muted: false,
      isPlaying: false
    };
  },
  methods: {
    async getTracks() {
      try {
        const response = await axios
          .get(

          )
          .catch((error) => {
            console.log(error);
          });
        this.tracks = response;
        this.tracks = response.data.tracks;
      } catch (error) {
        console.log(error);
      }
    },
    nextTrack() {
      if (this.trackCount < this.tracks.length - 1) {
        this.trackCount  ;
        this.setPlayerSource();
        this.playPause();
      }
    },
    prevTrack() {
      if (this.trackCount >= 1) {
        this.trackCount--;
        this.setPlayerSource();
        this.playPause();
      }
    },
    setPlayerSource() {
      this.player.src = this.tracks[this.trackCount].previewURL;
    },
    playPause() {
      if (this.player.paused) {
        this.isPlaying = true;
        this.player.play();
      } else {
        this.isPlaying = false;
        this.player.pause();
      }
    },
    toggleMute() {
      this.player.muted = !this.player.muted;

Try to add ended event instead

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLAudioElement#events

const audioElement = new Audio('car_horn.wav');
audioElement.addEventListener('ended', () => {
  this.isPlaying = false
})
