Install

Install the package within your project

npm install @maveio/metrics

Usage

import { Metrics } from '@maveio/metrics';
Metrics.config = {
  socketPath: 'wss://{your domain here}/socket',
  apiKey: '{your api key here}',
};

To collect video events you will need to create an Metrics instance using each HTMLVideoElement or Hls object:

new Metrics(<querySelector | Hls object>, <string>, <optional video query metadata>, <optional session query metadata>)

For instance, you can do this in your page:

const metrics = new Metrics('#my_video', 'label name', {
  my_custom_query_id: 1234,
});
metrics.monitor();

When you are using the hls.js library you can use the following code to monitor the video:

const video = document.getElementById('hls_video');
const videoSrc = 'https://test-streams.mux.dev/x36xhzz/x36xhzz.m3u8';

if (Hls.isSupported()) {
  const hls = new Hls();
  hls.loadSource(videoSrc);
  hls.attachMedia(video);
  new Metrics(hls, 'Big buck bunny').monitor();
} else if (video.canPlayType('application/vnd.apple.mpegurl')) {
  video.src = videoSrc;
  new Metrics('#hls_video', 'Big buck bunny').monitor();
}
