Media Chrome in React

Media Chrome provides a React version of every component to make using Media Chrome in your React app easy and idiomatic. These are included in our standard npm package.

To use, simply import any components from "media-chrome/react".

Components

To follow React conventions, the wrapper components use PascalCase for the component name, so

<media-controller> becomes <MediaController/>
<media-play-button> becomes <MediaPlayButton/>
<media-volume-range> becomes <MediaVolumeRange>

and so on. For a complete list of components, see the left sidebar.

Properties

Also, to keep things “idiomatically React”, the wrapper components use camelCase prop names for lowercase attribute names, so

seekoffset becomes seekOffset
showduration becomes showDuration

and so on.

Putting it all together, a simple example:

Here’s a simple example of what it looks like to use Media Chrome in React with the wrapper components:

import {
  MediaController,
  MediaControlBar,
  MediaTimeRange,
  MediaTimeDisplay,
  MediaVolumeRange,
  MediaPlayButton,
  MediaSeekBackwardButton,
  MediaSeekForwardButton,
  MediaMuteButton,
} from 'media-chrome/react';

const SimplePlayer = () => {
  return (
    <MediaController>
      <video
        slot="media"
        src="https://stream.mux.com/DS00Spx1CV902MCtPj5WknGlR102V5HFkDe/high.mp4"
        preload="auto"
        muted
        crossOrigin=""
      />
      <MediaControlBar>
        <MediaPlayButton></MediaPlayButton>
        <MediaSeekBackwardButton></MediaSeekBackwardButton>
        <MediaSeekForwardButton></MediaSeekForwardButton>
        <MediaTimeRange></MediaTimeRange>
        <MediaTimeDisplay showDuration></MediaTimeDisplay>
        <MediaMuteButton></MediaMuteButton>
        <MediaVolumeRange></MediaVolumeRange>
      </MediaControlBar>
    </MediaController>
  );
};

export default SimplePlayer;
