Hi,
I am trying to use client side npm library (video.js and videojs-record plugin). But it is not exactly clear for me what is the correct way to do it. videojs-record documentation states that you have to simply include js file, and thats fine nothing simpler than that but with meteor is a bit unclear. In meteor npm documentation it is said to install lib and use require(yourlib). So after some tries I ended up installing npm packages and doing this in client/lib/config.js file:
import ‘/node_modules/videojs-record/src/css/videojs.record.css’;
import ‘/node_modules/video.js/dist/video-js.css’;
videojs = require(‘video.js’);
require(“recordrtc”);
require(‘videojs-record’);
It kinda works, but if I use links to get to the recorder page I get Unable to find plugin: record. When I refresh its fine. I think I am getting there but still missing something. Interestingly video.js works that way but with a lag - first standard html5 video is loaded and after a moment video.js skin is added. So my question is how can I simply use those client side js in meteor, so it would be exactly the same as simply adding them to head in another application. I just want those scripts to be loaded all the time and don’t want any hacks with $.getScript and onCreate (I tried this too but it also wasn’t working).
