Setup

In here we shall show a small demo on how to setup a simple video component. We shall create the default component.

import React from 'react';
import { ReactVideo } from 'reactjs-media/video';

const App = () => {
    return (
        <div>
            <MyVideo />
        </div>
    )
}

const MyVideo = () => {
    return (
        <>
        <div>
            <ReactVideo
                src='https://www.example.com/myvideo.mp4'
                poster='/poster.png'
            />
        <div/>
        </>
    )
}

The above code can be used to create the most basic video component. .

A few important props you can pass are here:

Prop	type	Function
src	string : Required	This is the source of the video you want to display a it will be placed in the <source /> tag.
poster	string:	This is the poster os the video
className	string	The class of the video
onPlay	fuction	It takes in a function and you can use it how you want
onPause	fuction	It also takes in a function and you can use it how you want
onTimeUpdate	function	It is triggered when the video is playing. It passes in 3 arguments. An event, currentTime, and the percentage finished.
