import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import axios from 'axios';

const TTSPlayer = () => {
    const [text, setText] = useState("");
    const [selectedVoice, setSelectedVoice] = useState("male_1");
    
    const voices = [
        { id: "male_1", name: "Male 1" },
        { id: "female_2", name: "Female 2" },
        { id: "neutral_3", name: "Neutral 3" }
    ];

    useEffect(() => {
        fetchVoices();
    }, []);

    const fetchVoices = () => {
        // In a real implementation, this would fetch voices from your TTS service
        setSelectedVoice(voices[0].id);
    };

    const speak = async () => {
        try {
            const response = await axios.post('http://localhost:8000/tts', {
                text,
                voice_id: selectedVoice,
                speed: 1.0
            });
            
            console.log("Response:", response.data);
        } catch (error) {
            console.error("Error:", error.message);
        }
    };

    return (
        <div className="tts-player">
            <h2>Text-to-Speech Player</h2>
            <select 
                value={selectedVoice}
                onChange={(e) => setSelectedVoice(e.target.value)}
            >
                {voices.map(voice => (
                    <option key={voice.id} value={voice.id}>{voice.name}</option>
                ))}
            </select>
            <textarea 
                value={text}
                onChange={(e) => setText(e.target.value)}
                placeholder="Enter text to convert..."
                className="tts-input"
            />
            <button onClick={speak} className="tts-button">Convert and Play</button>
        </div>
    );
};

export default TTSPlayer;

3. Pydantic Data Schema

from pydantic import BaseModel

class TextToSpeechRequest(BaseModel):

class TextToSpeechResponse(BaseModel):
    status: str
    message: str
    audio_url: str
    duration: float

API Endpoint:
- Send a POST request to /tts with a JSON body containing text, voice_id, and speed.
- Example:
```
{
    "text": "Hello, world!",
    "voice_id": "female_2",
    "speed": 1.5
}
```
- Response will include the status of the request, a message, the audio file URL, and duration.
