Webvideo-js
This library provides a VideoRecorder class that will allow you to attach specific events onto buttons and video elements to allow you to record videos through your webcam
Installation
Install validate-object-js with npm or yarn
npm install webvideo-js
--or--
yarn add webvideo-jsDocumentation
Available functions are:
onStopButtonClicked, onStartButtonClicked
In order to preview and display final video you need to add these id's to the video elements in your code:
- "video-recorder-recording" -> for the final playable video
- "video-recorder-preview" -> for the preview video while recording
Demo
### JS Example
const VideoRecorder = require("videorecorder-js");
const recorder = new VideoRecorder(document);
let startButton = document.getElementById("video-recorder-startButton"); // you can attach function to any button
let stopButton = document.getElementById("video-recorder-stopButton"); // you can attach function to any button
// 5000 = milliseconds for recording (default = 5000/5s)
startButton.addEventListener("click", () => {
recorder.onStartButtonClicked(5000, (blob, url) => {
console.log(blob, url);
});
});
stopButton.addEventListener("click", () => {
recorder.onStopButtonClicked();
});
