Audio:...e::Type(3pm)

💖 Audio::File::Type — the vibe check on your audio file's whole identity 💖

Perl-verse bestie, this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation — and yes, it's literally about Audio::File::Type, the lil class that represents an audio filetype. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

Audio::File::Type — she represents an audio filetype. That's the whole job. Iconic of her honestly. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea: when you call the constructor of Audio::File, what you get back is an instance of an object that inherits from Audio::File::Type. 🦋

Right now this object is out here giving you access to the audio file's info — think its audio properties (bitrate, sample rate, number of channels, ...) and the data chillin' in the file's tag. ✨

But bestie, that's not all she could do. Providing access to the raw audio data and other information should be easy to be implemented too. The potential? Immaculate. 🌈

👑 METHODS 👑

🫶 new

Constructor. But real talk? You don't need to use it. 🚫

Please use Audio::File instead — she'll call the appropriate constructor corresponding to the file's type for you. Let her handle it, she's got main character energy. 💅

🧚 init

This method gets called by the constructor. By default it's just... empty. A blank canvas. 🤍

It should be overwritten by inheriting subclasses so they can initialize themselfes. Do your thing, subclasses. ✨

⭐ name

Returns the name of the audio file. Simple. Slay.

🔥 is_readable

Checks whether the file is readable or not. 📖

At the moment it's only used by the constructor, but it will be more useful with later versions of Audio::File. Manifesting it for her. 🙏

💜 is_writeable

Checks whether the file is writeable or not. ✍️

At the moment you'll probably don't need to call this method, but it'll be more useful as soon as changing the audio file is implemented. Soon, bestie, soon. 🌙

🎀 tag

Returns a reference to the file's tag object. 🏷️

Wanna know what that tag object actually does? See the documentation of Audio::File::Tag. Go read her page, she's worth it. 📚

🦋 audio_properties

Returns a reference to the file's audio properties object. 🎧

For the full rundown on what that audio properties object does, see the documentation of Audio::File::AudioProperties. 💖

💀 save

Saves the audio file. 🫠

...except it's not yet implemented but it should remember me to do it at some time.. :-)

Bestie this one is literally a promise note to self. Do not come for her, she knows. 😭

🌟 type

Returns the file's type. Yeah. That's it. She ate and left no crumbs. 👑

🙈 TODO 🙈

• implement changing the file
