# node-fdkaac
Fraunhofer FDK AAC is a high-quality open-source AAC encoder. For all AAC and M4A encoding needs, a Node.js wrapper of the full [fdkaac](https://github.com/nu774/fdkaac) command line frontend (by [nu774](https://github.com/nu774)) based on [libfdk-aac](https://github.com/mstorsjo/fdk-aac) encoder.
The encoder reads linear PCM audio in either WAV, raw PCM or CAF format and encodes it into an M4A or an AAC file.
## Requirements
- Linux or MacOS (Windows is NOT support by this package)
- libfdk-aac, fdkaac and ffmpeg installed (instructions see below)
- node 12.20.\* or newer## Installation
You can install it with `npm`:
```bash
$ npm install --save node-fdkaac
```If you have not installed [libfdk-aac](https://github.com/mstorsjo/fdk-aac), [fdkaac](https://github.com/nu774/fdkaac) and [ffmpeg](https://www.ffmpeg.org/) yet, you find a bash script to compile the source code as `install.sh` in this package.
_install.sh requirements:_
- automake
- libtool
- git### Run on Debian
```bash
$ sudo apt-get install automake libtool git ffmpeg
$ chmod +x install.sh
$ sudo ./install.sh
```### Run on MacOS with brew
```bash
$ brew install automake libtool git ffmpeg
$ chmod +x install.sh
$ sudo ./install.sh
```## Example
### Encode from file to file
```node
const Fdkaac = require("node-fdkaac").Fdkaac;const encoder = new Fdkaac({
output: "./audio-files/demo.m4a",
bitrate: 192,
}).setFile("./audio-files/demo.wav");encoder
.encode()
.then(() => {
// Encoding finished
})
.catch((error) => {
// Something went wrong
});
```### Encode from file to buffer
```node
const Fdkaac = require("node-fdkaac").Fdkaac;const encoder = new Fdkaac({
output: "buffer",
bitrate: 192,
}).setFile("./audio-files/demo.wav");encoder
.encode()
.then(() => {
// Encoding finished
const buffer = encoder.getBuffer();
})
.catch((error) => {
// Something went wrong
});
```### Encode from buffer to file
```node
[...]const Fdkaac = require("node-fdkaac").Fdkaac;
const encoder = new Fdkaac({
"output": "./audio-files/demo.m4a",
"bitrate": 192
}).setBuffer(audioFileBuffer);encoder.encode()
.then(() => {
// Encoding finished
})
.catch((error) => {
// Something went wrong
});
```### Encode from buffer to buffer
```node
[...]const Fdkaac = require("node-fdkaac").Fdkaac;
const encoder = new Fdkaac({
"output": "buffer",
"bitrate": 192
}).setBuffer(audioFileBuffer);encoder.encode()
.then(() => {
// Encoding finished
const buffer = encoder.getBuffer();
})
.catch((error) => {
// Something went wrong
});
```### Get status of encoder as object
```node
const Fdkaac = require("node-fdkaac").Fdkaac;const encoder = new Fdkaac({
output: "buffer",
bitrate: 192,
}).setFile("./audio-files/demo.wav");encoder
.encode()
.then(() => {
// Encoding finished
})
.catch((error) => {
// Something went wrong
});const status = encoder.getStatus();
```### Get status of encoder as EventEmitter
```node
const Fdkaac = require("node-fdkaac").Fdkaac;const encoder = new Fdkaac({
output: "buffer",
bitrate: 192,
}).setFile("./audio-files/demo.wav");const emitter = encoder.getEmitter();
emitter.on("progress", ([progress, eta]) => {
// On progress of encoding; in percent and estimated time of arrival as 00:00
});emitter.on("finish", () => {
// On finish
});emitter.on("error", (error) => {
// On error
});encoder
.encode()
.then(() => {
// Encoding finished
})
.catch((error) => {
// Something went wrong
});
```### Decode from file to file
```node
const Fdkaac = require("node-fdkaac").Fdkaac;const decoder = new Fdkaac({
output: "./audio-files/demo.wav",
}).setFile("./audio-files/demo.m4a");decoder
.decode()
.then(() => {
// Decoding finished
})
.catch((error) => {
// Something went wrong
});
```### Decode from file to buffer
```node
const Fdkaac = require("node-fdkaac").Fdkaac;const decoder = new Lame({
output: "buffer",
}).setFile("./audio-files/demo.m4a");decoder
.decode()
.then(() => {
// Decoding finished
const buffer = decoder.getBuffer();
})
.catch((error) => {
// Something went wrong
});
```### Decode from buffer to file
```node
[...]const Fdkaac = require("node-fdkaac").Fdkaac;
const decoder = new Lame({
"output": "./audio-files/demo.wav"
}).setBuffer(m4aInputBuffer);decoder.decode()
.then(() => {
// Decoding finished
})
.catch((error) => {
// Something went wrong
});
```### Decode from buffer to buffer
```node
[...]const Fdkaac = require("node-fdkaac").Fdkaac;
const decoder = new Lame({
"output": "buffer"
}).setBuffer(mp4aInputBuffer);decoder.decode()
.then(() => {
// Decoding finished
const buffer = decoder.getBuffer();
})
.catch((error) => {
