`<JWPlayer>` is a React Component that creates an instance of JW Player's web player. It allows for the use of any player configuration options and/or event hooks that can be used on the standard player (as props), and provides access to player's API directly via a `componentDidMount` callback.

## Installation

```shell
npm i @jwplayer/jwplayer-react
```

## Usage

### Standard player with file/library

``` javascript
import JWPlayer from '@jwplayer/jwplayer-react';
...
<JWPlayer
  file='https://path-to-my.mp4'
  library='https://path-to-my-jwplayer-library.js'
/>
...
```
### Platform-hosted playlist

``` javascript
import JWPlayer from '@jwplayer/jwplayer-react';
...
<JWPlayer
  library='https://path-to-my-jwplayer-library.js'
  playlist='https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/playlists/playlist_media_id'
/>
...
```

### Custom playlist

``` javascript
import JWPlayer from '@jwplayer/jwplayer-react';
...
const playlist = [{
  file: 'myfile.mp4',
  image: 'myPoster.jpg',
  tracks: [{
    file: 'https://mySubtitles.vtt',
    label: 'English',
    kind: 'captions',
    'default': true
  }],
},
{
  file: 'mySecondFile.mp4',
  image: 'MysecondFilesPoster.jpg',
}];
...
<JWPlayer
  library='https://path-to-my-jwplayer-library.js'
  playlist={playlist}
/>
...
```

## Required Props
These props are required to instantient an instance of JW Player:

* `library`
  * Must be a url to a jwplayer web player library. Required if jwplayer library not already instantiated on page (ie. if window.jwplayer is undefined).
  * Type: `string`
  * Example: `https://content.jwplatform.com/libraries/abcd1234.js`
  <br>
* `playlist` OR `file` OR `advertising` block with `oustream: true`
  * Player will require content in order to instantiate. See more [here](https://developer.jwplayer.com/jwplayer/docs/jw8-player-configuration-reference).
  * Type: `string` (for `file` or `playlist`) or `array` (for `playlist`) or `object` for `advertising`
  * Example: `https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/playlists/abcd1234`

If you are not using a cloud hosted player you will need to provide a license key via the config prop. This prop can also be used to pass additional player config options.

* `config`
  * JSON config object with all the available options/types available via [standard player configuration](https://developer.jwplayer.com/jwplayer/docs/jw8-player-configuration-reference)
  * Type: `object`
  * Example: `{ key: "your-key-here" }`


## Optional Props
**All JW Player config options** can be used individually as props to configure a `jwplayer-react` player, i.e.,  `advertising`, `analytics`, `playlist`, `related`, `width`, and `height`. See the full list [here](https://developer.jwplayer.com/jwplayer/docs/jw8-player-configuration-reference). In addition, you may use the following props:

* `on<Event>`, `once<Event>`
  * `jwplayer-react` dynamically supports all events in JW Player. Props beginning with `on` or `once` are parsed and added as JW Player event handlers. Find the full list of supported events [here](https://developer.jwplayer.com/jwplayer/docs/jw8-javascript-api-reference). 
  * Type: `(event: { type: string, [key: string]: any }) => void`
  * Examples:
    `const callback = (event) => console.log(event)`
    * `onReady={callback}`: Executes callback every time `ready` event is triggered by player API. Identical to `jwplayer(id).on('ready', callback)`.
    * `onComplete={callback}`: Executes callback every time `complete` event is triggered by player API. Identical to `jwplayer(id).on('complete', callback)`.
    * `onceTime={callback}`: Executes callback the **first** time `time` event is triggered by player API. Identical to `jwplayer(id).once('time', callback)`.
  <br>
* `didMountCallback`
  * A callback triggered after component mounts. Can be used to expose the player API to other parts of your app.
  * Type: `({ player: PlayerAPI, id: string }) => void`
  * Example: See [advanced implementation example](#advanced-implementation-examples)
  <br>
* `willUnmountCallback`
  * A callback triggered before component unmounts. Can be used to fire any final api calls to player before it is removed, or to inform a higher order component that a player has been removed.
  * Type: `({ player: PlayerAPI, id: string }) => void`
  * Example: See [advanced implementation example](#advanced-implementation-examples)

## API Functionality
For advanced usage,`jwplayer-react` creates an instance of the player API when mounted, and sets it to `this.player`, exposing all api functionality listed [here](https://developer.jwplayer.com/jwplayer/docs/jw8-javascript-api-reference). 



## Advanced Implementation Examples

[Interactive Example #1](https://codesandbox.io/s/jwplayer-react-example-1-forked-ctkevf?file=/src/PlayerContainer.js)

``` javascript
import React from 'react';
import JWPlayer from '@jwplayer/jwplayer-react';

class PlayerContainer extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.players = {};
    this.onBeforePlay = this.onBeforePlay.bind(this);
    this.onPlay = this.onPlay.bind(this);
    this.playerMountedCallback = this.playerMountedCallback.bind(this);
    this.playerUnmountingCallback = this.playerUnmountingCallback.bind(this);
  }
  
  // Registers players as they mount
  playerMountedCallback({ player, id }) {
    this.players[id] = player;
  }

  // Nulls registered players as they unmount
  playerUnmountingCallback({ id }) {
    this.players[id] = null;
  }

  // Prevent multiple players from playing simultaneously
  onBeforePlay(event) {
    Object.keys(this.players).forEach(playerId => {
      const player = this.players[playerId];
      const isPlaying = player.getState() === 'playing';
      if (isPlaying) {
        player.pause();
      }
    });
  }
  
  // Put teal colored outline on currently playing player, remove it from all other players.
  onPlay(event) {
    Object.keys(this.players).forEach(playerId => {
      const player = this.players[playerId];
      const container = player.getContainer();
      if (player.getState() === 'playing') {
        container.style.border = '15px solid #00FFFF';
      } else {
        container.style.border = '';
      }
    });
  }

  render() {
    // Re-usable defaults to use between multiple players.
    const configDefaults = { width: 320, height: 180 };

    return (
      <div className='players-container'>
        <JWPlayer
          config={configDefaults}
          onBeforePlay={this.onBeforePlay}

          library='https://cdn.jwplayer.com/libraries/lqsWlr4Z.js'
        />
        <JWPlayer

          playlist='https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/QcK3l9Uv'
          library='https://cdn.jwplayer.com/libraries/lqsWlr4Z.js'
        />
        <JWPlayer
          config={configDefaults}
          onBeforePlay={this.onBeforePlay}
          onPlay={this.onPlay}
          didMountCallback={this.playerMountedCallback}
          willUnmountCallback={this.playerUnmountingCallback}
          playlist='https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/playlists/B8FTSH9D'
          playlistIndex="1"
          library='https://cdn.jwplayer.com/libraries/lqsWlr4Z.js'
        />
      </div>
    );
