Player

You can embed your videos into your website using the Revideo react player.

Setup​

Install the @revideo/player-react package into your project:

npm install @revideo/player-react

Usage​

You have two options to use the player:

Inside your Revideo project directory, run:

npx revideo serve

This will start a local server that builds (and rebuilds) your project and serves all required assets. You can then embed the player into your website like this:

import {Player} from '@revideo/player-react';

<Player src="http://localhost:4000/player" />;

2. Manually​

If you don't want to use the CLI to serve your built project, you can build it manually by running:

npm run build

This will create an out directory in your project root. You can then copy all of these files to any public directory on your server and embed the player by specifying the path to the directory. Say you copied the files to /public/outDir, and the folder is accessible via https://example.com/outDir, you can embed the player like this:

import {Player} from '@revideo/player-react';

<Player src="https://example.com/outDir" />;
