Project description

React Native video player to play vod and lives from api.video

Getting started

$3

``sh
npm install @api.video/react-native-player
`
or
`sh
yarn add @api.video/react-native-player
`
_Note: if you are on iOS, you will need this extra step:_
Install the native dependencies with Cocoapods
`sh
cd ios && pod install
`

$3

For the moment, this player component is based on the api.video's javascript player (displayed in a react-native-webview), and therefore it suffers from the same limitation as every players displayed in browsers.

We plan to base the player component on natives video players in a further release to avoid this kind of limitation. Stay tuned!

$3

`jsx
import React from 'react';
import ApiVideoPlayer from '@api.video/react-native-player';

const App = () =>


export default App;
`
