About
twitch-player is a Typescript npm
package that provides an easy interaction with the
Twitch embeddable, interactive VOD and Clips player.
Currently, the Twitch Development team offers only Javacript support for embedding an interactive media player (see this link). When developing Web apps using Typescript (for example in Angular) it is pretty cumbersome to work with the provided script, without any types support.
Because of this I've released this package, which has the following features:
- easy setup using
npm install
:heavy_check_mark: - types support for Typescript :heavy_check_mark:
- tested with Angular :heavy_check_mark:
Setup
npm install
Can be easily installed using npm
:
npm i twitch-player
Updating index.html
(optional)
Currently, both JS scripts for the Twitch.Player
and Twitch.Embed
are static files inside package.
If you want to use the official Twitch versions you will have to append the following to your index.html
file:
<!-- Twitch script for the Twitch.Embed object -->
<script src="https://embed.twitch.tv/embed/v1.js"></script>
<!-- Twitch script for the Twitch.Player object -->
<script src= "https://player.twitch.tv/js/embed/v1.js"></script>

element where the player will be displayed.The second argument holds all the initialization options for the player, including the width, height and video that will be played
