Using @capgo/capacitor-mute Package

The @capgo/capacitor-mute package is a Capacitor plugin that allows you to detect if the mute switch is enabled or disabled on a device. It provides a simple API for checking the device's mute status.

Installation

You can install the @capgo/capacitor-mute package using npm:

npm install @capgo/capacitor-mute
npx cap sync

Usage

To use the @capgo/capacitor-mute package, you need to import it and call the isMuted() method.

import { isMuted } from '@capgo/capacitor-mute';

isMuted().then((result) => {
  console.log('Mute status:', result);
}).catch((error) => {
  console.error('Error checking mute status:', error);
});

The isMuted() method returns a promise that resolves to a boolean value indicating whether the device is muted or not. If the promise is rejected, an error message is displayed.

Example

Here is an example of how you can use the @capgo/capacitor-mute package to check the device's mute status and display a message based on the result.

import { isMuted } from '@capgo/capacitor-mute';

isMuted().then((result) => {
  if (result) {
    console.log('The device is currently muted');
    // Display a message or perform some actions for muted device
  } else {
    console.log('The device is not muted');
    // Display a message or perform some actions for non-muted device
  }
}).catch((error) => {
  console.error('Error checking mute status:', error);
});

In this example, if the device is muted, a message "The device is currently muted" is displayed. If the device is not muted, a message "The device is not muted" is displayed.
