# Ruby Wrapper Around the Voicemeeter Remote API

This gem offers a Ruby interface for the Voicemeeter Remote API.

For an outline of past/future changes refer to: [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md)

## Tested against

- Basic 1.0.8.8
- Banana 2.0.6.8
- Potato 3.0.2.8

## Requirements

- [Voicemeeter](https://voicemeeter.com/)
- Ruby 3.2 or greater

## Installation

### Bundler

```
bundle add voicemeeter
bundle install
```

## `Use`

Simplest use case, request a Remote class of a kind, then pass a block to run.

Login and logout are handled for you in this scenario.

#### `main.rb`

```ruby
require "voicemeeter"

class Main
  def run
    Voicemeeter::Remote.new(:banana).run do |vm|
      vm.strip[0].label = "podmic"
      vm.strip[0].mute = true
      puts "strip 0 #{vm.strip[0].label} mute was set to #{vm.strip[0].mute}"

      vm.bus[3].gain = -6.3
      vm.bus[4].eq.on = true
      info = [
        "bus 3 gain has been set to #{vm.bus[3].gain}",
        "bus 4 eq has been set to #{vm.bus[4].eq.on}"
      ]
      puts info
    end
  end
end

Main.new.run if $PROGRAM_NAME == __FILE__
```

Otherwise you must remember to call `vm.login` `vm.logout` at the start/end of your code.

## `KIND_ID`

Pass the kind of Voicemeeter as an argument. KIND_ID may be:

- `:basic`
- `:banana`
- `:potato`

### Multiple parameters

- `apply`
  Set many strip/bus/macrobutton/vban parameters at once, for example:

```ruby
vm.apply(
  {
    "strip-0" => {mute: true, gain: 3.2, A1: true},
    "bus-3" => {gain: -3.2, eq: {on: true}},
    "button-39" => {stateonly: true},
    "vban-outstream-3" => {on: true, bit: 24}
  }
)
```

Or for each class you may do:

```ruby
vm.strip[0].apply(mute: true, gain: 3.2, A1: true)
vm.vban.outstream[0].apply(on: true, name: "streamname", bit: 24)
```

## Config Files

`vm.apply_config(<configname>)`

You may load config files in TOML format.
Three example configs have been included with the package. Remember to save
current settings before loading a config. To set one you may do:

```ruby
require "voicemeeter"
Voicemeeter::Remote.new(:banana).run { |vm| vm.apply_config(:example) }
```

will load a config file at mydir/configs/banana/example.toml for Voicemeeter Banana.

## Events

By default, NO events listened for.

Use keyword args `pdirty`, `mdirty`, `midi`, `ldirty` to initialize event updates.

example:

```ruby
require 'voicemeeter'
# Set updates to occur every 50ms
# Listen for level updates
Voicemeeter::Remote.new(:banana, ratelimit: 0.05, ldirty: true).run do
  ...
```

#### `vm.on`

Use the `on` method to register blocks on the vm object to be called back later.

example:

```ruby
# register a block with the on method
class App():
    def initialize(vm)
        @vm = vm
        @vm.on :pdirty do
          ...
        end
```

#### `vm.event`

Use the event class to toggle updates as necessary.

The following attributes are available:

- `pdirty`: boolean
- `mdirty`: boolean
- `midi`: boolean
- `ldirty`: boolean

example:

```ruby
vm.event.ldirty = true

vm.event.pdirty = false
```

Or add, remove an array of events.

The following methods are available:

- `add(events)`
- `remove(events)`
- `get`

example:

```ruby
vm.event.add(%i[pdirty mdirty midi ldirty])

vm.event.remove(%i[pdirty mdirty midi ldirty])

# get a list of currently subscribed
p vm.event.get
```

## `Voicemeeter Module`

#### Voicemeeter::Remote

You may pass the following optional keyword arguments:

- `sync`: boolean=false, force the getters to wait for dirty parameters to clear. For most cases leave this as false.
- `ratelimit`: float=0.033, how often to check for updates in ms.
- `pdirty`: boolean=true, parameter updates
- `mdirty`: boolean=true, macrobutton updates
- `midi`: boolean=true, midi updates
- `ldirty`: boolean=false, level updates

Access to lower level Getters and Setters are provided with these functions:

- `vm.get(param, string=false)`: For getting the value of any parameter. Set string to true if getting a property value expected to return a string.
- `vm.set(param, value)`: For setting the value of any parameter.

Access to lower level polling functions are provided with these functions:

- `vm.pdirty?`: Returns true iff a parameter has been updated.
- `vm.mdirty?`: Returns true iff a macrobutton has been updated.

example:

```ruby
vm.get("Strip[2].Mute")
vm.set("Strip[4].Label", "stripname")
vm.set("Strip[0].Gain", -3.6)
```

### Errors

- `Errors::VMError`: Base Voicemeeter error class.
- `Errors::VMInstallError`: Raised when errors occur during installation.
- `Errors::VMCAPIError`: Raised when the C-API returns error codes.
  - The following attributes are available:
    - `fn_name`: name of the C-API function that failed.
    - `code`: error code.
  - For a full list of error codes [check the VoicemeeterRemote header file][voicemeeter remote header].

### Logging

To enable logging set an environmental variable `VM_LOG_LEVEL` to the appropriate level.

example in powershell:

```powershell
$env:VM_LOG_LEVEL="DEBUG"
```

### Tests

To run all tests:

```
Bundle exec rake
```
