Advanced Properties

The advanced properties here refer to the secondary attributes mounted on the instance, which are less commonly used

option

Options for the player

▶ Run Code
js
var art = new Artplayer({
    container: '.artplayer-app',
    url: '/assets/sample/video.mp4',
});

console.info(art.option);

Reminder

If you directly modify this option object, the player will not respond immediately.

template

Manages all of the DOM elements of the player

▶ Run Code
js
var art = new Artplayer({
    container: '.artplayer-app',
    url: '/assets/sample/video.mp4',
});

console.info(art.template);
console.info(art.template.$video);

Warning

To easily distinguish between DOM elements and plain objects, all DOM elements in the player are named starting with a $

Here is the definition of all DOM elements: artplayer/types/template.d.ts

events

Manages all DOM events in the player, which is essentially a proxy for addEventListener and removeEventListener. When using the following methods to handle events, the event will also be automatically destroyed when the player is destroyed.

  • The proxy method is used to proxy DOM events
  • The hover method is used to proxy custom hover events
▶ Run Code
js
var container = document.querySelector('.artplayer-app');

var art = new Artplayer({
    container: container,
    url: '/assets/sample/video.mp4',
});

art.events.proxy(container, 'click', event => {
    console.info('click', event);
});

art.events.hover(container, (event) => {
    console.info('mouseenter', event);
}, (event) => {
    console.info('mouseleave', event);
});

Warning

If you need some DOM events to only exist during the lifecycle of the player, it is strongly recommended to use these functions to avoid causing memory leaks

storage

Manages the local storage of the player

  • The name attribute is used to set the cache key
  • The set method is used to set the cache
  • The get method is used to get the cache
  • The del method is used to delete the cache
  • The clear method is used to clear the cache
▶ Run Code
js
var art = new Artplayer({
    container: '.artplayer-app',
    url: '/assets/sample/video.mp4',
});

art.storage.set('test', { foo: 'bar' });
const test = art.storage.get('test');
console.info(test);
art.storage.del('test');
art.storage.clear();

Warning

By default, all player instances share the same localStorage, and the default key is artplayer_settings

If you want different players to use different localStorage, you can modify art.storage.name accordingly

▶ Run Code
js
var art = new Artplayer({
    container: '.artplayer-app',
    url: '/assets/sample/video.mp4',
});

art.storage.name = 'your-storage-key';
art.storage.set('test', { foo: 'bar' });

▶ Run Code
js
var art = new Artplayer({
