Can't resize React-Player Video. I change the width to any number and the video stays unchanged. I am trying to optimize it for computer view and then add breakpoints to resize for smaller screens like phones.
Bellow is the file where I render the React-Player video inside a on which I apply the desired height and width I would like my react-player video to adopt.
import React, { useContext, useEffect, useState } from 'react'
import { makeStyles } from '@material-ui/core/styles'
import Modal from '@material-ui/core/Modal'
import { MovieContext } from './MovieContext'
import ReactPlayer from 'react-player'
import { getTrailer } from '../utils/movieDB'
// potential of adding controls
// import { Slider, Direction } from 'react-player-controls'
//slider to be implemented
//https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-player-controls#playericon-
const useStyles = makeStyles((theme) => ({
video: {
width: 'auto',
height: 'auto',
top: '25%',
right: '25%',
position: 'fixed',
[theme.breakpoints.down('xs')]: {},
},
}))
const styles = {
player: {
width: '300px',
},
}
export default function SimpleModal({ open }) {
const classes = useStyles(),
//receives movie from Home > DisplayCard > MovieContext
{ setOpenTrailer, movie, setMovie } = useContext(MovieContext),
[trailer, setTrailer] = useState(),
[key, setKey] = useState(),
[modalStyle] = useState()
useEffect(() => {
if (movie) {
getTrailer(movie).then((data) => {
setKey(data.videos.results[0].key)
setTrailer(data)
})
}
}, [movie])
const handleOpen = () => {
setOpenTrailer(true)
}
const handleClose = () => {
setOpenTrailer(false)
setMovie(undefined)
setTrailer(undefined)
setKey(undefined)
}
const renderVideo = (
<>
{key && (
<div className={classes.video}>
<ReactPlayer style={styles.player} url={`https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=${key}`} />
</div>
)}
</>
)
return (
<div>
<Modal
open={open || false}
onClose={handleClose}
aria-labelledby="simple-modal-title"
aria-describedby="simple-modal-description"
>
{renderVideo}
</Modal>
</div>
)
}
Which is the proper way to set the dimensions on a react-player object?
Using the width and height props as such:
<ReactPlayer
width={“300px”}
url={`https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=${key}`} />
