Warning

The player's size depends on the size of the container container, so your container container must have a size.

Vue.js

vue
<template>
  <div ref="artRef"></div>
</template>

<script>
import Artplayer from "artplayer";

export default {
  data() {
    return {
      instance: null,
    };
  },
  props: {
    option: {
      type: Object,
      required: true,
    },
  },
  mounted() {
    this.instance = new Artplayer({
      ...this.option,
      container: this.$refs.artRef,
    });

    this.$nextTick(() => {
      this.$emit("get-instance", this.instance);
    });

Artplayer Not Responsive:

Modifying option directly in Vue.js will not change the player

React.js

jsx
import { useEffect, useRef } from 'react';
import Artplayer from 'artplayer';

export default function Player({ option, getInstance, ...rest }) {
    const artRef = useRef();

    useEffect(() => {
        const art = new Artplayer({
            ...option,
            container: artRef.current,
        });

        if (getInstance && typeof getInstance === 'function') {
            getInstance(art);
        }

        return () => {
            if (art && art.destroy) {
                art.destroy(false);
            }
        };
    }, []);

    return <div ref={artRef} {...rest}></div>;
}
jsx
import React from 'react';
import Artplayer from './ArtPlayer.jsx';

function App() {
    return (
        <div>
            <Artplayer
                option={{
                    url: 'https://artplayer.org/assets/sample/video.mp4',
                }}
                style={{
                    width: '600px',
                    height: '400px',
                    margin: '60px auto 0',
                }}
                getInstance={(art) => console.info(art)}
            />
        </div>
    );
}

export default App;

Non-responsive Artplayer:

In React.js, directly modifying the option will not change the player

TypeScript

Importing Artplayer will automatically import artplayer.d.ts

Vue.js

vue
<script setup>
import Artplayer from 'artplayer';
const art = ref<Artplayer>(null);
art.value = new Artplayer();
</script>

React.js

jsx
import Artplayer from 'artplayer';
const art = useRef<Artplayer>(null);
art.current = new Artplayer();

Option

You can also use the option type

ts
import Artplayer from 'artplayer';

const option: Artplayer['Option'] = {
    container: '.artplayer-app',
    url: './assets/sample/video.mp4',
};

option.volume = 0.5;

const art = new Artplayer(option);

Complete TypeScript Definitions

packages/artplayer/types

JavaScript

Sometimes your js file may lose the TypeScript type hints, in this case, you can manually import the types

Variables:

js
/**
 * @type {import("artplayer")}
 */
let art = null;

Parameters:

js
/**
 * @param {import("artplayer")} art
 */
function getInstance(art) {
  //
}

Properties:

js
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      /**
       * @type {import("artplayer")}
       */
      art: null,
    }
  }
}

Options:

js
/**
 * @type {import("artplayer/types/option").Option}
 */

const option = {
    container: '.artplayer-app',
    url: './assets/sample/video.mp4',
};

option.volume = 0.5;

const art8 = new Artplayer(option);

Ancient Browsers

The production build of artplayer.js is only compatible with the latest major version of Chrome: last 1 Chrome version

For ancient browsers, you can use the artplayer.legacy.js file, which is compatible up to: IE 11

js
import Artplayer from 'artplayer/dist/artplayer.legacy.js';
bash
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/artplayer/dist/artplayer.legacy.js
bash
https://unpkg.com/artplayer/dist/artplayer.legacy.js

If you need to support even older browsers, please modify the following configuration and then build it yourself:

Build configuration: scripts/build.js
