        <TotalViewers
            player={playerInstance}
            label=""
            totalViewers={totalViewers}
            show={isLive}
        />
        <CustomFullScreenButton
            player={playerInstance}
            setFullscreen={isFS => console.log(`Player is ${isFS? 'fullscreen' : 'inline'}`)}
        />
        <WatchOnLink
            player={playerInstance}
            url='//external.url.link'
            target = '_blank' // default
            logo = '//logo.url',
            title = 'Watch on MLS',
        />
    </Player>
}

Development

To set up development environment for this project you will need to link player package inside you project, but also link all peer dependencies from you project inside player.

So the steps are following:

Run yarn link inside @mycujoo/player-core repository
Go to your project root and run yarn link @mycujoo/player-core
Go to each of the dependeincy package inside your project's node_modules and run yarn link
Go to @mycujoo/player-core repository again and run yarn link react react-dom @emotion/react prop-types lodash

To speed up the build, make sure that terser and visualizer are disabled in rollupConfig, development config would be created in the future.

To deploy new version to npm: Make sure the version in package.json is updated, then create new tag with version format and push it to the repo:

git tag v1.0.50 -am 'version 50 message'
git push origin v1.0.50

This will trigger a job in CircleCI that will run npm publish and push the changes to npm. Alternatively you can just update the version in package.json and then run npm publish to publish the bundle.
