<Plyr />
componentThe simplest form of react integration with the plyr is to use the <Plyr />
component, it is best for the static
videos.
import Plyr from "plyr-react"
import "plyr-react/plyr.css"
const plyrProps = {
source: undefined, // https://github.com/sampotts/plyr#the-source-setter
options: undefined, // https://github.com/sampotts/plyr#options
// Direct props for inner video tag (mdn.io/video)
}
function MyPlyrVideo() {
return <Plyr {...plyrProps} />
}
usePlyr
hookIf you need the full control over all if possible integration one can imagine, usePlyr is your hook. Here is a simple
and exact Plyr component made with the usePlyr
hook. Are curios about how it works follow
this thread and
this proposal.
const Plyr = React.forwardRef((props, ref) => {
const { source, options = null, ...rest } = props
const raptorRef = usePlyr(ref, {
source,
options,
})
return <video ref={raptorRef} className="plyr-react plyr" {...rest} />
})
// Function base component
const MyComponent = () => {
const ref = useRef()
useEffect(() => {
console.log("internal plyr instance:", ref.current.plyr)
})
return <Plyr ref={ref} />
}
// Class base component
class MyComponent extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props)
this.player = createRef()
}
componentDidMount() {
console.log("internal plyr instance", this.player.current.plyr)
}
render() {
return <Plyr ref={(player) => (this.player.current = player)} />
}
}
Currently the exported APIs contains a latest instance of plyr.
In other words, the passing ref will have access to the player in the structure shown below.
return <Plyr ref={ref} />
// ref can get access to latest plyr instance with `ref.current.plyr`
ref = { current: { plyr } }
// so you can make your player fullscreen 🎉
ref.current.plyr.fullscreen.enter()
