A module for getting a URL to a Brightcove Player.

Installation

npm install --save @brightcove/player-url

Usage

To include @brightcove/player-url on your website or web application, use any of the following methods.

ES Modules

When using in an ES modules-compatible environment or bundler like Rollup or webpack, install @brightcove/player-url via npm and import the plugin as you would any other module.

import brightcovePlayerUrl from '@brightcove/player-url';

const myPlayerUrl = brightcovePlayerUrl({
  accountId: '1234567890',
  playerId: 'abc123xyz'
});

console.log(myPlayerUrl); // https://players.brightcove.net/1234567890/abc123xyz_default/index.min.js

Browserify/CommonJS

When using with Browserify, install @brightcove/player-url via npm and require the plugin as you would any other module.

var brightcovePlayerUrl = require('@brightcove/player-url');

var myPlayerUrl = brightcovePlayerUrl({
  accountId: '1234567890',
  playerId: 'abc123xyz'
});

console.log(myPlayerUrl); // https://players.brightcove.net/1234567890/abc123xyz_default/index.min.js

RequireJS/AMD

When using with RequireJS (or another AMD library), get the script in whatever way you prefer and require the plugin as you normally would:

require(['@brightcove/player-url'], function(brightcovePlayerUrl) {
  var myPlayerUrl = brightcovePlayerUrl({
    accountId: '1234567890',
    playerId: 'abc123xyz'
  });

  console.log(myPlayerUrl); // https://players.brightcove.net/1234567890/abc123xyz_default/index.min.js
});

<script> Tag

This is the simplest case and least recommended. We expect most will bundle this module into an application or another module.

<script src="//path/to/brightcove-player-url.min.js"></script>
<script>
  var myPlayerUrl = brightcovePlayerUrl({
    accountId: '1234567890',
    playerId: 'abc123xyz'
  });

  console.log(myPlayerUrl); // https://players.brightcove.net/1234567890/abc123xyz_default/index.min.js
</script>
