Usage

Basic usage (edit in stakblitz):

import React from 'react'
import { render } from 'react-dom'
import VideoRecorder from 'react-video-recorder'

const App = () => (
  <VideoRecorder
    onRecordingComplete={(videoBlob) => {
      // Do something with the video...
      console.log('videoBlob', videoBlob)
    }}
  />
)

render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'))

Also check the Storybook for more demos and usage examples.

Note: if you click the "Show info" button in the top-right corner, you should be able to see a table with the supported prop-types.
