Usage

To use the ByteArk Player Container in your Angular application, follow these steps:

  1. Import the ByteArkPlayerContainer component:

    import { Component } from "@angular/core";
    import { ByteArkPlayerContainer, type ByteArkPlayerContainerProps } from "@byteark/byteark-player-angular";
    
    @Component({
      selector: "app-sample-blog",
      standalone: true,
      imports: [ByteArkPlayerContainer],
      template: ` <byteark-player-container [options]="options"></byteark-player-container> `,
    })
    export class SampleBlogComponent {
      title = "ByteArk Player Container | Sample Blog";
    }
  2. Add the component to your template:

    <byteark-player-container [options]="options"></byteark-player-container>
  3. Configure the player options:

    export class SampleBlogComponent {
      title = "ByteArk Player Container | Sample Blog";
      options: ByteArkPlayerContainerProps = {
        fluid: true,
        autoplay: false,
        aspectRatio: "16:9",
        poster: "https://example.com/poster.jpg",
        sources: [
          {
            src: "https://example.com/video.mp4",
            type: "video/mp4",
            title: "Sample Video",
          },
        ],
      };
    }

Following properties are the properties that can be updated to the player, without re-creating the player instance. Additional properties will be passed to player.

To provide multiple version of sources, you can use array of source objects.

We also provide some callback properties, so you can inject some behaviours directly to the ByteArk Player, and also, to the VideoJS's instance.

Name Type Callback Parameters Description
