Class: Id3v2Frame

Abstract class that represents an ID3v2 frame. Frames are the unit for storing information in an ID3v2 tag. There are various types of frames that store differently structured information.

Constructors

constructor

• Protected new Id3v2Frame(header)

Constructs and initializes a new instance with a frame header.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
header	Id3v2FrameHeader	Header for the frame.

Accessors

encryptionId

• get encryptionId(): number

Gets the encryption ID applied to the current instance.

Returns

number

Value containing the encryption identifier for the current instance or undefined if not set.

• set encryptionId(value): void

Sets the encryption ID applied to the current instance.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
value	number	Value containing the encryption identifier for the current instance. Must be an 8-bit unsigned integer. Setting to undefined will remove the encryption header and ID

Returns

void

---

flags

• get flags(): Id3v2FrameFlags

Gets the frame flags applied to the current instance.

Returns

Id3v2FrameFlags

• set flags(value): void

Sets the frame flags applied to the current instance. If the value includes either Encryption or Compression, render will throw.

Parameters

Name	Type
value	Id3v2FrameFlags

Returns

void

---

frameClassType

• Abstract get frameClassType(): Id3v2FrameClassType

Gets a flag indicating which type of frame the current instance is.

Returns

Id3v2FrameClassType

---

frameId

• get frameId(): Id3v2FrameIdentifier

Gets the frame ID for the current instance.

Returns

Id3v2FrameIdentifier

Object representing of the identifier of the frame

---

groupId

• get groupId(): number

Gets the grouping ID applied to the current instance.

Returns

number

Value containing the grouping identifier for the current instance, or undefined if not set.

• set groupId(value): void

Sets the grouping ID applied to the current instance.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
value	number	Grouping identifier for the current instance. Must be an 8-bit unsigned integer. Setting to undefined will remove the grouping identity header and ID

Returns

void

---

header

• Protected get header(): Id3v2FrameHeader

Gets the header for the frame. For new frames this should not exist.

Returns

Id3v2FrameHeader

• Protected set header(value): void

Sets the header for the frame.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
value	Id3v2FrameHeader	Header for the frame

Returns

void

---

size

• get size(): number

Gets the size of the current instance as it was last stored on disk. NOTE: This value is not used outside of reading a frame from disk, so newly created frames should not have this value set.

Returns

number

Methods

clone

▸ Abstract clone(): Id3v2Frame

Creates a deep copy of the current instance. This method is implemented by rendering the current instance as an ID3v2.4 frame and using the frame factory to create a new frame. As such, this method should be overridden by child classes.

Returns

Id3v2Frame

---

fieldData

▸ Protected fieldData(frameData, offset, version, dataIncludesHeader): ByteVector

Extracts the field data from the raw portion of an ID3v2 frame. This method is necessary for extracting extra data prepended to the frame such the as grouping ID.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
frameData	ByteVector	Raw frame data
offset	number	Index at which the data is contained
version	number	Version of the ID3v2 tag the data was originally encoded with
dataIncludesHeader	boolean	true if frameData includes the header, false otherwise

Returns

ByteVector

---

parseFields

▸ Protected Abstract parseFields(data, version): void

Populates the values in this frame by parsing its field data in a specified version.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
data	ByteVector	Extracted field data
version	number	ID3v2 version the field data is encoded in

Returns

void

---

render

▸ render(version): ByteVector

Renders the current instance, encoded in a specified ID3v2 version.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
version	number	Version of ID3v2 to use when encoding the current instance

Returns

ByteVector

---

renderFields

▸ Protected Abstract renderFields(version): ByteVector

Renders the values in the current instance into field data for a specified version.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
version	number	ID3v2 version the field data is to be encoded in.

Returns

ByteVector

---

setData

▸ Protected setData(data, offset, readHeader, version): void

Populates the current instance by reading the raw frame from disk, optionally reading the header.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
data	ByteVector	Raw ID3v2 frame
offset	number	Offset in data at which the frame begins.
readHeader	boolean	Whether or not to read the reader into the current instance.
version	number	Version of the ID3v2 tag the data was encoded with

Returns

void

---

correctEncoding

▸ Static Protected correctEncoding(type, version): StringType

Converts an encoding to be a supported encoding for a specified tag version.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
type	StringType	Value containing the original encoding
version	number	Value containing the ID3v2 version to be encoded.

Returns

StringType

Value containing the correct encoding to use, based on forceDefaultEncoding and what is supported by version
