Super Media Element

A custom element that helps save alienated player API's to bring back their true inner HTMLMediaElement API, or to extend a native media element like <audio> or <video>.

Usage

import { SuperVideoElement } from 'super-media-element';

class MyVideoElement extends SuperVideoElement {
  constructor() {
    super();
    this.loadStart();
  }

  attributeChangedCallback(attrName, oldValue, newValue) {
    // This is required to come before the await for resolving loadComplete.
    if (attrName === 'src' && newValue) {
      this.load();
      return;
    }

    super.attributeChangedCallback(attrName, oldValue, newValue);
  }

  async load() {
    // Kick off load & wait 1 tick to allow other attributes to be set.
    await this.loadStart();

    // code to load a video element from a script
    // example: https://github.com/luwes/jwplayer-video-element/blob/main/jwplayer-video-element.js#L55-L75

    await this.loadEnd();
  }

  get nativeEl() {
    return this.querySelector('.loaded-video-element');
  }
}

if (!globalThis.customElements.get('my-video')) {
  globalThis.customElements.define('my-video', MyVideoElement);
}

export { MyVideoElement };
