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
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();
}
}
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
targetidentifies the video player that corresponds to the event.- The event's
dataspecifies a value relevant to the event. Note that theonReadyevent does not specify adataproperty.
