I created a react app where I display different video games and the app decides which game to play. I also have a file where I stored the data of video games. The goal I'm trying to achieve is to render the youtube video trailer of the corresponding video game when clicking on a button while using React Hooks. I've been using the npm package react-player. If someone could help, I'd appreciate it.
This is the code for the Video Game component:
import React from 'react';
import { Button, message } from 'antd';
import { Row, Col } from 'antd';
import GameEntry from '../GameEntry';
import Games from '../Games';
function VideoGameSection() {
const chooseGame = () => {
var randomGameTitle = [
'Gears 5',
'Halo',
'Hellblade',
'It takes two',
'A Plague Tale',
'Psychonauts',
'Twelve Minutes',
'Ori',
'Streets of Rage',
'Last of Us',
'Boodborne',
'Geenshin Impact',
'Dragon Ball Z:KAKAROT',
'Ghost Tsushima',
'Naruto',
'Overcooked',
'Horizon',
'Tomb Raider',
'Uncharted',
'Person 5 Royal',
'Ratchet',
'Spider-Man',
];
var randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * randomGameTitle.length);
return message.info(
'The game you will play is: ' + randomGameTitle[randomIndex] + '.',
);
};
return (
<div id="video-game" className="block bgGray">
<div className="container-fluid">
<div className="titleHolder">
<h2>Video Games</h2>
<p>A list of current games</p>
<div className="site-button-ghost-wrapper">
<Button
className="gameButton"
type="primary"
danger
ghost
onClick={chooseGame}
>
Pick for me
</Button>
</div>
</div>
<Row gutter={[16, 24]}>
{Games.map((videogame, i) => (
<Col span={8}>
<GameEntry
id={i}
key={i}
title={videogame.title}
imgURL={videogame.imgURL}
description={videogame.console}
/>
</Col>
))}
</Row>
</div>
</div>
);
}
export default VideoGameSection;
This is the code for my game entry component:
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { Card, Button, Modal } from 'antd';
import YoutubeSection from './Home/YoutubeSection';
const { Meta } = Card;
function GameEntry(props) {
const [isModalVisible, setIsModalVisible] = useState(false);
const showModal = () => {
setIsModalVisible(true);
};
const handleClose = () => {
setIsModalVisible(false);
};
const handleCancel = () => {
setIsModalVisible(false);
};
return (
<div>
<Card
className="gameCard"
hoverable
cover={<img className="cardImg" alt={props.title} src={props.imgURL} />}
>
<div className="cardTitle">
<Meta title={props.title} description={props.description} />
</div>
<>
<Button
className="trailerButton"
type="primary"
block
style={{
color: '#fff',
borderColor: '#fff',
backgroundColor: '#e6544f',
}}
onClick={showModal}
>
Click for trailer
</Button>
<Modal
title={props.title}
width={'725px'}
visible={isModalVisible}
onOk={handleClose}
onCancel={handleCancel}
>
<YoutubeSection />
</Modal>
</>
</Card>
</div>
);
}
export default GameEntry;
This is the code for the youtube component:
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import ReactPlayer from 'react-player';
function YoutubeSection(props) {
return (
<div className="container-fluid">
<ReactPlayer
// url={videoTrailer}
muted={false}
playing={true}
controls={true}
/>
</div>
);
}
export default YoutubeSection;
example of data file:
const Games = [
{
id: 1,
title: 'Gears 5',
imgURL: '../Images/gears-5.jpeg',
console: 'Xbox',
videoID: 'SEpWlFfpEkU&t=7s',
},
You can keep a single Modal component and use it for that.
ModalView.js
import React, { useState } from "react";
import YoutubeSection from "./YoutubeSection";
import { Modal } from "antd";
const ModalView = ({
title,
isModalVisible,
handleClose,
handleCancel,
videoID
}) => {
return (
<Modal
title={title}
width={"725px"}
visible={isModalVisible}
onOk={handleClose}
onCancel={handleCancel}
>
<YoutubeSection videoID={videoID} />
</Modal>
);
};
export default ModalView;
Move the ModalView and its state, control functions to the VideoGameSection.
VideoGameSection.js
import React, { useState } from "react";
import { Button, message } from "antd";
import { Row, Col } from "antd";
import GameEntry from "./GameEntry";
import Games from "./Games";
import ModalView from "./ModalView";
function VideoGameSection() {
const [isModalVisible, setIsModalVisible] = useState(false);
const [currentVideoID, setCurrentVideoID] = useState("");
const showModal = () => {
setIsModalVisible(true);
};
const handleClose = () => {
setIsModalVisible(false);
};
const handleCancel = () => {
setIsModalVisible(false);
};
const chooseGame = () => {
var randomGameTitle = [
"Gears 5",
"Halo",
"Hellblade",
"It takes two",
"A Plague Tale",
"Psychonauts",
"Twelve Minutes",
"Ori",
"Streets of Rage",
"Last of Us",
"Boodborne",
"Geenshin Impact",
"Dragon Ball Z:KAKAROT",
"Ghost Tsushima",
"Naruto",
"Overcooked",
"Horizon",
"Tomb Raider",
"Uncharted",
"Person 5 Royal",
"Ratchet",
"Spider-Man"
];
var randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * randomGameTitle.length);
return message.info(
"The game you will play is: " + randomGameTitle[randomIndex] + "."
);
};
return (
<div id="video-game" className="block bgGray">
<div className="container-fluid">
<div className="titleHolder">
<h2>Video Games</h2>
<p>A list of current games</p>
<div className="site-button-ghost-wrapper">
<Button
className="gameButton"
type="primary"
danger
ghost
onClick={chooseGame}
>
Pick for me
</Button>
</div>
</div>
<Row gutter={[16, 24]}>
{Games.map((videogame, i) => (
<Col span={8}>
<GameEntry
id={i}
key={i}
title={videogame.title}
imgURL={videogame.imgURL}
description={videogame.console}
videoID={videogame.videoID}
setCurrentVideoID={setCurrentVideoID}
showModal={showModal}
/>
</Col>
))}
<ModalView
videoID={currentVideoID}
handleClose={handleClose}
isModalVisible={isModalVisible}
/>
</Row>
</div>
</div>
);
}
export default VideoGameSection;
Access the videoID passed via ModalView. You can save gameId instead of videoID to get any other info of the game Ex:title.
YoutubeSection.js
import React, { useState } from "react";
import ReactPlayer from "react-player";
function YoutubeSection(props) {
return (
<div className="container-fluid">
<ReactPlayer
url={`https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=${props.videoID}`}
muted={false}
playing={true}
controls={true}
/>
</div>
);
}
export default YoutubeSection;
GameEntry.js
import React, { useState } from "react";
import { Card, Button, Modal } from "antd";
import YoutubeSection from "./YoutubeSection";
const { Meta } = Card;
function GameEntry(props) {
return (
<div>
<Card
className="gameCard"
hoverable
cover={<img className="cardImg" alt={props.title} src={props.imgURL} />}
>
<div className="cardTitle">
<Meta title={props.title} description={props.description} />
</div>
<>
<Button
className="trailerButton"
type="primary"
block
style={{
color: "#fff",
borderColor: "#fff",
backgroundColor: "#e6544f"
}}
onClick={() => {
props.setCurrentVideoID(props.videoID);
props.showModal();
}}
>
Click for trailer
</Button>
</>
</Card>
</div>
);
}
export default GameEntry;
