We are creating a toggle button for muting and unmuting an audio element using React hooks useState
and useRef
. It destructures isMuted
from the useState
hook and sets the initial state to false.
The button's inner text is dependent on the state of isMuted
, and a toggleMute
function is created which sets isMuted
to the opposite of its current state and also sets the audioRef.current.muted
property to the opposite of isMuted
.
A onVolumeChange
function is added to the audio element that sets the isMuted
state based on the value of audioRef.current.muted
. This allows the isMuted
state to change even when the mute button on the audio element itself is pressed.
Think about:
onVolumeChange
for instead of onMuted
?onVolumeChange
to check for things being muted?
