react-player-controls

This is a set of modular, tested and hopefully useful React components for composing media players. This library does not deal with actual media in any way, only the UI.

Check out the components in action on the examples page.

A note on styles: This library does not yet ship with any component styles. However, this is on the way. Meanwhile, you can check out the styles from the examples page to get a kick start or just some inspiration in styling your player.
