JW Developer Demos

This repository is for managing the JW Player Developer Demos. It includes demos and code samples from the JW Player team as well as a Developer Showcase highlighting demos submitted by our developer community.

Demo Setup

All JW Developer demos can be downloaded and run locally. Build instructions and required components are outlined below.

Build Instructions

If you don't already have Node.js, please download and install it now.

Then, from the project root directory, jwdeveloper-demos/:

1. Install Node modules:

    $ [sudo] npm install
   

2. Install Bower components:

    $ [sudo] bower install
   

3. Run Grunt to compile changes:

    $ grunt
   

4. Run Grunt to compile changes and serve locally:

    $ grunt serve
   

Demo Structure

Each demo contains the following elements:

assets/
css/
	style.css
js/
	main.js
config.json
index.html

Only index.html and config.json are required for the build. In a basic setup, index.html must contain a single line player embed and config.json must include the demo title, description, and license.

Local assets (such as images, .txt files, etc...) referenced within the demo should be saved in the assets directory.

We encourage you to use our Demo Starter Kit as the basis for your project.

Contributing a Demo

Our developer community continues to amaze us with unique implementations of our player. We have created our Developer Showcase to help show off your work to other developers.

Submissions

Submitting a demo for consideration for the JW Developer Showcase is easy.

1. Fork this repository
2. Duplicate the demo starter kit and build your demo
3. Update your config file (see instructions below)
4. Submit a pull request

Our Developer Relations Manager will review all submissions. Please note that we only publish a few, carefully selected apps on the JW Developer Showcase and that we do not reply to submissions personally.
