syntax for importing Mirax Player :

// Importing syntax for React, Vue, Angular, and Svelte:

import { miraxplayer, miraxErrorHandler } from 'mirax-player';

---

Once you finish set-up the code examples below you need to restart your server like:

npm run dev
npx ng serve

React

You need to use "useRef" in React hooks:

---

import React, { useEffect, useRef } from "react";
import { miraxplayer, miraxErrorHandler } from 'mirax-player';

const ExampleComponent = () => {
  const videoRef = useRef(null);
  const playerTheme = "rgba(250, 149, 35, 0.9)";
  const progressTheme = "blue";

  useEffect(() => {
    if (videoRef.current) {
      miraxplayer(videoRef.current, playerTheme, progressTheme);
      miraxErrorHandler(videoRef.current); 
    }
  }, []);

  return (
    <div className="whatever">
      <video ref={videoRef} className="mirax-player" src="clip.mp4"></video>
    </div>
  );
};

export default ExampleComponent;

Typescript: React

import React, { useEffect, useRef } from "react";
import { miraxplayer, miraxErrorHandler } from 'mirax-player';

interface Props {}

const ExampleComponent: React.FC<Props> = () => {
  const videoRef = useRef<HTMLVideoElement>(null);
  const playerTheme = "rgba(250, 149, 35, 0.9)";
  const progressTheme = "blue";

  useEffect(() => {
    if (videoRef.current) {
      miraxplayer(videoRef.current, playerTheme, progressTheme);
      miraxErrorHandler(videoRef.current); 
    }
  }, []);

  return (
    <div className="whatever">
      <video ref={videoRef} className="mirax-player" src="clip.mp4"></video>
    </div>
  );
};

export default ExampleComponent;

Vue

---

You need to use ref in Vue attributes:

<template>
  <div class="whatever">
    <video ref="videoRef" class="mirax-player" src="clip.mp4"></video>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import { miraxplayer, miraxErrorHandler } from 'mirax-player';
import { ref, onMounted } from 'vue';

export default {
  setup() {
    const videoRef = ref(null);
    const playerTheme = "none";
    const progressTheme = "orange";

    onMounted(() => {
      if (videoRef.value) {
        miraxplayer(videoRef.value, playerTheme, progressTheme);
        miraxErrorHandler(videoRef.value);
      }
    });

    return {
      videoRef
    };
  }
};
</script>

Typescript: Vue

<template>
  <div class="whatever">
    <video ref="videoRef" class="mirax-player" src="clip.mp4"></video>
  </div>
</template>

<script lang="ts">
import { miraxplayer, miraxErrorHandler } from 'mirax-player';
import { ref, onMounted } from 'vue';

export default {
    name: 'ExampleComponent',
  setup() {
    const videoRef = ref<HTMLVideoElement>(null);
    const playerTheme = "none";
    const progressTheme = "orange";

    onMounted(() => {
      if (videoRef.value) {
        miraxplayer(videoRef.value, playerTheme, progressTheme);
        miraxErrorHandler(videoRef.value); 
      }
    });

    return {
      videoRef
    };
  }
};
</script>

Angular

---

You need to use ElementRef native DOM element:

example.component.ts

---

example.component.html

Svelte

You need to use bind:this in svelte:

Typescipt: Svelte

---

To customize the alignment of video:

---

Style

You can assign your own class name to encapsulate the video player.

---

.whatever {
    margin: 0 auto;
    position: relative;
    width: 100%;
}

---

Colors

You have the freedom to freely set a theme color.

Color Types	Color syntax	Example	Opacity Range	Appearance
RGBA	rgba()	rgba(255,0,0, 0.5)	0.1 to 0.9 or 0 and 1	Red half transparency
RGB	rgb()	rgb(255, 0, 0)	none	Red
HEXA	#6digits	#ff0000	none	Red
COLORNAME	colorname	red	none	Red

---

To change color and theme, simply add the necessary code to your component app.

---

if you want pure transparent:

change into:

 const playerTheme = "none";
