The p5-server command-line tool, and the P5 Server Visual Studio Code extension, automatically include these libraries when a sketch uses a function or p5 property that they define. See automatic library includes for more information.
Each library is listed with the symbols (functions, classes, and variables), and the p5 properties, that it defines. A JavaScript-only sketch that uses one of these symbols or properties, and does not define it, causes the inclusion of the library that defines that symbol.
This page is generated from the files in this directory.

This category includes only the p5.sound library. It does not include the p5.accessibility library because, as noted on that library’s home page, it is obsolete.
p5.sound extends p5 with Web Audio functionality including audio input, playback, analysis and synthesis.
