videojs-webcomponent

Getting started

Download the library

The only files that you need are in the dist folder. You can download them through:

1. Bower: bower install videojs-webcomponent --save
2. NPM: npm install videojs-webcomponent --save
3. Download the ZIP on GitHub

Import the Web component

You can add the video-js Web component by adding this in your <link rel="import" href="bower_components/dist/video-js.html" />

Make sure to not include video.js and video-js.css because it is bundled inside the Web component.

Web component shim (optional)

Make sure that you support browsers that don't support Web component yet.

bower install webcomponentsjs <script src="bower_components/webcomponentsjs/webcomponents.min.js"></script>

Player instance

You can access the video.js player instance by doing:

var player = document.getElementById('my-player').player();

// Simple auto-play done by hand
player.ready(function() {
  player.play();
});

See the official video.js documentation to learn how to use it or try the sandbox/index.html example.

Add your custom skin

Make sure to add ::shadow so that you can customize the elements inside the shadow DOM. The default skin will be embeded inside the Web component unless you make your own custom build.
