Vue.js

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, but you can also separately import the type for options

ts
import Artplayer from 'artplayer';
import { type Option } from 'artplayer/types/option';

const option: 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
