Implementation Examples

React Component Usage

import {Video} from '@rixl/media-react';

function VideoPlayer({videoId}) {
  return (
    <Video
      id={videoId}
      className="w-full h-auto rounded-lg"
      autoPlay={false}
      muted={false}
      loop={false}
      controls
    />
  );
}

The React Video component is a @lit/react wrapper around <rixl-video>. It forwards id (mapped to videoId), src, videoData, standard media attributes (autoPlay, muted, loop, playsInline, poster, volume), player UI props (controls, theme, progressBar, showChapters, chapters, heatmap, hotSegments, allowFullscreen, allowPictureInPicture, autoHideMs, resumeProgress, soundDisabled), analytics props, and the onRixlAnalytics event.

API Integration

const uploadVideo = async (projectId, videoFile, qualityTier = 'pro') => {
  const initResponse = await fetch(
    `https://api.rixl.com/media/v1/projects/${projectId}/videos/upload`,
    {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        name: videoFile.name,
        video_quality: qualityTier,
        image_format: 'jpg'
      })
    }
  );

  const {
    video_id,
    video_upload_url,
    poster_id,
    poster_upload_url,
    expires_at
  } = await initResponse.json();

  await fetch(video_upload_url, {
    method: 'PUT',
    body: videoFile,
    headers: { 'Content-Type': videoFile.type }
  });

  return { video_id, poster_id, expires_at };
};
