Note: Using this component will require loading the youtube iframe API manually.

Currently this version does not load youtube iframe API. This can be done using the following code in the constructor of the parent component of the YRPlayer component

// Keeping track whether the API has been loaded in the state of the parent
this.state = { youtubeApiLoaded: false };

// Making the script tag
var tag = document.createElement("script");
tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api";
tag.async = 1;
document.head.appendChild(tag);

// To signal the YRPlayer component that the API has been loaded
window["onYouTubeIframeAPIReady"] = e => {
  this.setState({
    youtubeApiLoaded: true
  });
};

// This setState will cause the YRPlayer component to re-render
