## **AudioVisualizer** Component ([Example](https://stackblitz.com/edit/stackblitz-starters-kjpu5q?file=src%2FApp.tsx))

```js
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { AudioVisualizer } from 'react-audio-visualize';
const Visualizer = () => {
const [blob, setBlob] = useState<Blob>();
const visualizerRef = useRef<HTMLCanvasElement>(null)
// set blob somewhere in code
return (
<div>
{blob && (
<AudioVisualizer
ref={visualizerRef}
blob={blob}
width={500}
height={75}
barWidth={1}
gap={0}
barColor={'#f76565'}
/>
)}
</div>
)
}
```
| Props | Description | Default | Optional |
| :------------ |:--------------- |:--------------- | :--------------- |
| **`blob`** | Audio blob to visualize | N/A | No |
| **`width`** | Width of the visualizer | N/A | No |
| **`height`** | Height of the visualizer | N/A | No |
| **`barWidth`** | Width of each individual bar in the visualization | `2` | Yes |
| **`gap`** | Gap between each bar in the visualization | `1` | Yes |
| **`backgroundColor`** | BackgroundColor for the visualization | `transparent` | Yes |
| **`barColor`** | Color for the bars that have not yet been played | `"rgb(184, 184, 184)""` | Yes |
| **`barPlayedColor`** | Color for the bars that have been played | `"rgb(160, 198, 255)""` | Yes |
| **`currentTime`** | Current time stamp till which the audio blob has been played. Visualized bars that fall before the current time will have `barPlayerColor`, while that ones that fall after will have `barColor` | N/A | Yes |
| **`style`** | Custom styles that can be passed to the visualization canvas | N/A | Yes |
| **`ref`** | A `ForwardedRef` for the `HTMLCanvasElement` | N/A | Yes |

const Visualizer = () => {
const [mediaRecorder, setMediaRecorder] = useState<MediaRecorder>();
