Installation

npm install gs-player --save

Getting Started

Add GsPlayerModule into the imports array of the module that will use gs-player

import { GsPlayerModule} from 'gs-player';
 
@NgModule({
  imports: [
    // ...
    GsPlayerModule
  ],
})
export class AppModule { }

Usage

Add gs-player to your code:

Add gs-player component to your HTML, import interfaces and define properties

HTML ex. app.component.html

<h1>My website</h1>
<gs-player></gs-player>

TS ex. app.component.ts

import { PlayerFile, PlayerTheme, PlayerThemeDark, PlayerThemeLight } from 'gs-player';
 
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html'
})
export class AppComponent {
  // Array of PlayerFiles (file url, name, artist and album)
  public files: Array<PlayerFile>;
  // Player color theme (one of PlayerThemeDark or PlayerThemeLight)
  // You can also crete your own color theme
  public playerTheme: PlayerTheme = PlayerThemeLight;

Pass tracks to gs-player:

To play audio in gs-player you must pass the files property. An array of PlayerFile:

HTML ex. app.component.html

<h1>My website</h1>
<gs-player
  [files]="files">
</gs-player>

TS ex. app.component.ts

export class AppComponent {
  // Array of PlayerFiles (file url, name, artist and album)
  // artist and album are optionals
  public files: Array<PlayerFile> = files: Array<PlayerFile> = [
    {
      url: 'url-to-audio-file.mp3',
      name: 'My audio',
      artist: 'Me',
      album: 'My album'
    }
  ];

At this point you should be able to play audio using gs-player.

Customise gs-player:

You can change gs-player color to fit your UI. The library have to themes by default:

• PlayerThemeLight: For dark background
• PlayerThemeDark: For bright background

Use themes as follow:

HTML ex. app.component.html

<h1>My website</h1>
<gs-player
  [files]="files"
  [playerTheme]="playerTheme">
</gs-player>

TS ex. app.component.ts

// import themes from `gs-player`
import { PlayerThemeDark, PlayerThemeLight } from 'gs-player';
 
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html'
})
export class AppComponent {
  public playerTheme = PlayerThemeLight;

You can create your own themes using your own colors:

TS ex. app.component.ts

// import PlayerTheme interface from `gs-player`
import { PlayerTheme } from 'gs-player';
 
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html'
})
export class AppComponent {
  public playerTheme: {
    // HTML/CSS Color Name, Hex Code #RRGGBB, Decimal Code (R,G,B)
    primary: 'red',
    secondary: 'blue'
  };
