Warning

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

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

Refer to documentation: browserslist

ECMAScript Module

Starting from 5.2.4, artplayer and all plugins will also provide an ESM version of js, such as:

  • artplayer/dist/artplayer.esm.js
  • artplayer-plugin-danmuku/dist/artplayer-plugin-danmuku.esm.js

        });
    </script>

Custom userAgent

Currently, the determination of mobile devices is not accurate. Sometimes, you may want to adjust the player UI by changing the userAgent. Therefore, starting in version 5.2.4, we added a new globalThis.CUSTOM_USER_AGENT global variable.

html
<html>
    <head>
        <title>ArtPlayer Demo</title>
        <meta charset="UTF-8" />
        <style>
            .artplayer-app {
                width: 400px;
                height: 300px;
            }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="artplayer-app"></div>
        <script>globalThis.CUSTOM_USER_AGENT = 'iphone'</script>
        <script src="path/to/artplayer.js"></script>
        <script>
          const art = new Artplayer({
              container: '.artplayer-app',
              url: 'path/to/video.mp4',
          });
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

Warning

You need to modify it before import the Artplayer for it to take effect
