React Player Controls

Overview

The modular React components designed for building media player interfaces offer a flexible way to create custom player controls. This library provides a lightweight and easy-to-learn API, enabling developers to construct their own media interfaces without the need for extensive boilerplate or out-of-the-box styles. It is particularly useful for those who want to maintain control over the design and layout while ensuring functionality within the media player context.

Although the components are purely focused on user interface elements rather than handling actual media, they come equipped with valuable implementation recipes and examples to facilitate a smooth setup. This allows developers to get started quickly and effectively leverage these tools to fulfill their unique media playback requirements.

Features

• Customizable Components: Each component is modular, allowing developers to compose their own media player controls tailored to specific needs.
• Lightweight API: The user-friendly API simplifies integration and usage, making it accessible even for beginners in React.
• Formatted Time Display: The <FormattedTime /> component easily formats seconds into a player-friendly format (m:ss or h:mm:ss), enhancing user experience.
• Slider Control: The <Slider /> component supports volume control and progress bars while allowing developers to manage the state independently, offering great flexibility.
• Player Icon Container: <PlayerIcon /> acts as a holder for various icon components, with props being passed directly to the underlying SVG elements to maintain consistency.
• Event Callbacks: Each component provides several callback options for intents and changes, enabling developers to easily handle user interactions and track changes effectively.
• Direction Control: The library offers an enum for slider direction (either horizontal or vertical), allowing for versatile UI designs.
• No Media Handling: Focused solely on the UI aspect, the components are designed to integrate seamlessly within a larger media management context without managing the media files themselves.
