Web: How to check if audio is playing?

Question

What's the javascript api for checking if an web audio element is currently playing? Thank you very much

audio = new Audio('music.mp3');
audio.play();

if(audio.isplaying){ //check audio is playing
 audio.pause();
 }

Answer 1

Audio has paused propriety in javascript.
So if the audio is not paused, then it's playing.

Example:

audio = new Audio('music.mp3');
audio.play();

if(!audio.paused){ //check audio is playing
 audio.pause();
}
