A function for creating a graph function from defined node points in Javascript

Similar to the envelope mapping found in animation software, this library allows you to create different 'envelope map' functions, that map an input value to an output value, based on a graph defined by nodes/keyframes.

Define an array of node for the graph, which are objects that comprise an input (corresponding to the input passed into the graph; the x value) and a value (what the value should be at that point; the y value)

const envelopeNodes = [
	{
		input: 0,
		value: 0.6,
	},
	{
		input: 10,
		value: 1,
	},
	{
		input: 30,
		value: 0.75,
	},
	{
		input: 40,
		value: 0,
	},
	{
		input: 80,
		value: 0.2,
	},
];

Then call the createGraph() function passing these nodes, which will return a function that can be used to calculate the value of the graph at any point

• controlling animation
• controlling audio parameters

• currently only produces straight lines between the nodes; curves/handles are yet to be implemented
