In this lesson, we will create event listeners for the play and pause events on an audio player element and use these listeners to update the value of a variable called isPlaying
that tracks the current state of the player (e.g., whether it is currently playing or paused). The event listeners, named onPlay
and onPause
, will be triggered when the user presses the play or pause button on the audio player element itself, not on a custom play button that may have been created.
