Installation

NPM

npm install --save react-jplaylist

UMD

The recommended way to use this package is through npm and webpack. However if you insist on including the .js and .css files manually then it is available from the /dist/ folder. For example, if you copied the /dist/ folder to the root of your project then the src tags would look like this:

<script src="./dist/js/jPlaylist.js"></script>

<script src="./dist/css/sleek.css"></script>

Module is exported to a global variable called ReactJPlaylist.

Features

• Cross compatible with many legacy different Html5 browsers
• Back, Forward, Shuffle, Playlist Selection, Playlist Looping
• Fully customizable, modular and componentized
• Comes with a fully reponsive css skin for your players

Documentation

initialState([jPlaylists]) : Required

Deep merges the options that you passed into the connect function with react-jPlayer's defaults. The result of this must be passed to your stores initial state.

Arguments

1. jPlaylist(s) (array or single react element): Accepts either an array of jPlaylists or a single jPlaylist.

Returns

(object): The initial state for the jPlaylists(s) that needs to be passed to the Redux store.

reducer() : Required

The jPlaylist reducer that will be called whenever a jPlaylist function is dispatched. Must be passed to your store named 'jPlaylists'.

connect(jPlaylist, options, jPlaylistOptions) : Required

Connects your jPlaylist to the jPlayer store by wrapping Redux's original connect.

Arguments

1. jPlaylist (function): Your jPlaylist with which to connect to the store.
2. options (object): The jPlayer options that you want the jPlaylist to be initialized with.
3. jPlaylistOptions (object): The jPlaylist options that you want the jPlaylist to be initialized with.

Returns

(function): A component that wraps your jPlaylist. This means that you can use Redux original connect to wrap this connect with as well if you wanted to pass aditional Redux data from the store to your jPlaylist.

Static Properties

1. jPlayer: The original jPlaylist component that you passed in.
2. options: The jPlayer options that you passed into the connect().
3. jPlaylistOptions: The jPlaylist options that you passed into the connect().

Props

jPlaylist automatically passes the following properties in to your jPlaylist component:

• id (string): The current jPlaylist's id that you supplied through options.id.
• [...actions] (func): The actions that you can call to modify jPlaylist's properties at runtime.
• jPlayers (object): All of the jPlayers options get passed in here. The names of the jPlayers are what you specified for each one in options.id.
• jPlaylists (object): All of the jPlaylists options get passed in here. The names of the jPlaylists are what you specified for each one in options.id.

Actions

All of the actions automatically get passed into your jPlaylists for ease of use so you can just call them directly.

setOption(id, key, value)

Sets any jPlaylist option.

Arguments

1. id (string): Id of the jPlaylist to apply this to.
2. key (string): The name of the option that you want to set. Specifying nested keys is not supported.
3. value (any): The value to set the option to.

setPlaylist(id, playlist)

Sets the playlist of the jPlaylist. You don't need to use this on jPlaylist load because this method is automatically called internally on componentDidMount with the playlist you supplied in options.playlist.

Arguments

1. id (string): Id of the jPlaylist to apply this to.
2. playlist (array: objects): The new playlist which will be set to your jPlaylist.

add(id, media, playNow?)

Adds the media to the end of the playlist.

Arguments

1. id (string): Id of the jPlaylist to apply this to.
2. media (object): The media to be added to your playlist.
3. playNow (bool): Optionally play the media as soon as it's added.

remove(id, index)

Removes the media from the playlist at the specified index.

Arguments

1. id (string): Id of the jPlaylist to apply this to.
2. index (number): The index of the playlist array with which to remove.

clear(id)

Clears the playlist array and resets some jPlaylist values back to default.

Arguments

1. id (string): Id of the jPlaylist to apply this to.

play(id, index?)

Plays the jPlaylist. If no index is supplied then it plays the current media.

Arguments

1. id (string): Id of the jPlaylist to apply this to.
2. index (number): Optionally play the media at the supplied index.

shuffle(id, shuffled?, playNow?)

Shuffles the playlist.

Arguments

1. id (string): Id of the jPlaylist to apply this to.
2. shuffled (bool): Toggles shuffled setting if no param is given. True always shuffles the playlist. False will un-shuffle if it was shuffled.
3. playNow (bool): Optionally play the media as soon as it's shuffled.

next(id)

Plays the next media item in the playlist.

Arguments

1. id (string): Id of the jPlaylist to apply this to.

previous(id)

Plays the previous media item in the playlist.

Arguments

1. id (string): Id of the jPlaylist to apply this to.

Options

Properties in this object are used to initialize the jPlaylist. They are deep merged with the default values.

playlist (array: objects) : Required

jPlaylist will load the playlist from this option in componentWillMount() automatically. Each object within the array needs to the same as react-jPlayer's media schema.

loopOnPrevious (bool)

Default: true

The playlist will loop back to the end when calling previous().

shuffleOnLoop (bool)

Default: true

If loop is 'loop-playlist' and shuffled is true, the playlist will shuffle when calling next() on the last item.

loop (string)

Default: "loop-playlist"

There are three settings which jPlaylist recognizes for loop:

1. 'off': Doesn't loop the playlist or the current media, stops on the last item when next() is called.
2. 'loop': Loops the current media in the playlist.
3. 'loop-playlist': Loops the entire playlist when calling next() on the last item.

hidePlaylist (bool)

Default: false

Hides or shows the playlist. Used internally with the TogglePlaylist component.

Components

All components accept custom props that will be applied as attributes to the component if the names don't conflict with existing properties.

WARNING: If the names do conflict then the custom props will overwrite any existing props that are used on that component internally, including event handlers. The exception to this is the property className for the JPlaylist component which is merged with the internal classes.

E.g. <Shuffle data-test="test" /> will render <div className="jp-shuffle" data-test="test"></div>

JPlaylist : Required

props

1. className (string): Merged with the internally used classNames that jPlaylist uses. Useful for specifying the jPlaylist skin type that you want to use, e.g. <JPlaylist className="jp-sleek">.

Needs to be at the root of any other jPlayer and jPlaylist components. You don't specify the JPlayer component when using jPlaylist as this component replaces that and wraps the JPlayer component internally.

Playlist

Any component that is a child of this component will be duplicated x number of times where x is the size of your playlist.

Remove

Default: ×

Should be nested as a child of the Playlist component. Renders the remove controls for each media in your playlist.

MediaLink

Should be nested as a child of the Playlist component. Renders the media links for the playlist and allows the user to select other media's in your playlist.

Title

Default: media.artist - media.title

Should be nested as a child of the Playlist component. Renders the artist and title of the current media.

Poster

Should be nested as a child of the Playlist component. Renders the poster of the current media.

TogglePlaylist

Used in conjunction with the hidePlaylist property. Toggles the visiblity of the playlist onClick.

Previous

onClick calls the previous action internally and sets the media to the previous item.

Next

onClick calls the next action internally and sets the media to the next item.

Shuffle

onClick calls the shuffle action internally and shuffles the media.

Repeat

onClick calls the setOption action internally and sets the loop to the next state, i.e. if loop is currently 'off" then clicking on this component will set the loop state to 'loop'.
