For convenience it is also possible to access the PlayerState constants through react-youtube:
YouTube.PlayerState
contains the values that are used by the YouTube IFrame Player API.
Example
// js
import React from 'react';
import YouTube from 'react-youtube';
class Example extends React.Component {
render() {
const opts = {
height: '390',
width: '640',
playerVars: {
// https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters
autoplay: 1,
},
};
return <YouTube videoId="2g811Eo7K8U" opts={opts} onReady={this._onReady} />;
}
_onReady(event) {
// access to player in all event handlers via event.target
event.target.pauseVideo();
}
}
// ts
import React from 'react';
import YouTube, { YouTubeProps } from 'react-youtube';
function Example() {
const onPlayerReady: YouTubeProps['onReady'] = (event) => {
// access to player in all event handlers via event.target
event.target.pauseVideo();
}
const opts: YouTubeProps['opts'] = {
height: '390',
width: '640',
playerVars: {
// https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters
autoplay: 1,
},
};
return <YouTube videoId="2g811Eo7K8U" opts={opts} onReady={onPlayerReady} />;
}
Controlling the player
You can access & control the player in a way similar to the official api:
The
APIcomponent will pass an event object as the sole argument to each ofthose functionsthe event handler props. The event object has the following properties:
- The event's
target
identifies the video player that corresponds to the event.- The event's
data
specifies a value relevant to the event. Note that theonReady
event does not specify adata
property.
