Custom Player Templates

With our templating framework you can create your own custom player designs. This feature is available with player version v5.1 and above.

new js3q({
    dataid: '5c3b0910-8850-11e7-9273-002590c750be',
    container: 'player',
    template: {
        htmlFile: '*httpPathToFile*',
        // or inline:
        // html: `<div class="myCustomDiv"> ... </div>`,
        cssFile: '*httpPathToFile*',
        // or inline:
        // css: `.myCustomDiv { color: red; ... }`,
    }
});

A player template is comprised of a HTML and CSS definition of the player elements. To use a player template, you can provide links to these files hosted on your sever using the parameters htmlFile and cssFile. If you choose to host the files yourself, please check your CORS settings.

Alternatively you can post the markup inline using the config parameters html and css.

Hint: If you use inline Markup, we recommend using string literals (`) instead of quotes ( ", '), to avoid issues with line breaks.

Finally, it is also possible to upload the files directly to a player using our GUI.

Template Options

The following additional options are available when configuring a playlist

Value	type	Description	Default
htmlFile	string	URl of the template. Be aware of CORS
html	string	inline Markup
cssFile	string	URL of the CSS
css	string	inline CSS
audioPoster	boolean	For hiding the cover in the audio template	true
audioDescription	boolean	For hiding the description in the audio template	true

Syntax

You can add a class attribute to each container to define the CSS. The data-role attribute is used by our engine to map the button role. You can find a complete list of all buttons below.

Labels/Language Strings

For language strings in the template, you can use the same fields as described here. To embed them, place the field name between curly brackets. (e.g. {{tips.play}})

Not only you can use the built-in language strings, you can also define your very own ones:

new js3q({
  //...
  labels: {
    de: {
      'my-special-language-string': 'Lorem Ipsum',
    },
    en: {
      'my-special-language-string': 'dolor sit amet',
    },
  },
  template: {
    html: `<div>
      {{my-special-language-string}}

      <div data-role="title"></div>
      <!-- ... -->
    </div>`,
  },
})

Components

Several components are separated for easier maintenance. You can override each component as described above, or you can create your own components.

To embed a component, place it between square brackets. (e.g. [[context]])

new js3q({
  //...
  template: {
    //...
    components: {
      audioPoster: {
        html: `<div class="outer" style="padding: 20px; background: lime;">
                <div class="inner">
                  <div data-role="audio-poster"></div>
                </div>
              </div>`,
        css: `
        .outer {
          /* Beware, that it is not possible to style the root element here */
          /* You need to style it inline, as shown above */
        }

        .inner {
          background: yellow;
          padding: 20px;
        }

        .sdn-ellipsis {
          display: none !important; // Does not affect the rest of the player, just works for the component
        }
      `,
      },
    },
  },
})
