Angular 14 Youtube Video Player Example With Controls to Embed Videos Using ngx-youtube-player in TS

Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be showing the youtube video in angular 14 with controls using the ngx-youtube-player library in browser using typescript. All the full source code of the application is shown below.

Get Started

In order to get started you need to create a new angular project using the below command

ng new sampleproject

And after that you need to install the below libraries using the below command

npm i ngx-youtube-player

And after that you will see the below directory structure of the angular app

Now we need to go to app.module.ts file and copy paste the below code

app.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { NgxYoutubePlayerModule } from 'ngx-youtube-player';

@NgModule({
  imports:      [ BrowserModule, FormsModule, NgxYoutubePlayerModule.forRoot() ],
  declarations: [ AppComponent ],
  bootstrap:    [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';

import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

import { NgxYoutubePlayerModule } from 'ngx-youtube-player';

@NgModule({

imports: [ BrowserModule, FormsModule, NgxYoutubePlayerModule.forRoot() ],

declarations: [ AppComponent ],

bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]

})

export class AppModule { }

After that we need to go to app.component.html file and copy paste the following code

app.component.html

<div class="container">
  <div class="jumbotron bg-light">
    <h1 class="display-6">Angular v{{ version }} Youtube Player Component</h1>
    <p class="lead">This is a simple usage if ngx-youtube-player component.</p>
    <hr class="my-4">

    <section class="card card-info text-white bg-dark mb-3">
      <div class="card-header">Demo</div>
      <section class="card-img-top">
        <youtube-player
          [videoId]="id"
          (ready)="savePlayer($event)"
          (change)="onStateChange($event)"
          [playerVars]="playerVars">
        </youtube-player>
      </section>
      <div class="card-body"></div>
    </section>
    <button *ngIf="ytEvent !== 1"
      type="button"
      class="btn btn-primary"
      (click)="playVideo()">
      Play
    </button>
    <button *ngIf="ytEvent === 1"
      type="button"
      class="btn btn-danger"
      (click)="pauseVideo()">
      Pause
    </button>
  </div>
</div>

<div class="col-12">
  <section class="card card-success">
    <div class="card-body">
      <div class="card-title">Player State</div>
      <pre>{{ ytEvent }}</pre>
    </div>
  </section>
</div>

<h1 class="display-6">Angular v{{ version }} Youtube Player Component</h1>

<p class="lead">This is a simple usage if ngx-youtube-player component.</p>

<youtube-player

[videoId]="id"

(ready)="savePlayer($event)"

(change)="onStateChange($event)"

[playerVars]="playerVars">

</youtube-player>

</section>

</section>

<button *ngIf="ytEvent !== 1"

type="button"

class="btn btn-primary"

(click)="playVideo()">

Play

</button>

<button *ngIf="ytEvent === 1"

type="button"

class="btn btn-danger"

(click)="pauseVideo()">

Pause

</button>

</div>

<div class="card-title">Player State</div>

<pre>{{ ytEvent }}</pre>

</div>

</section>

</div>

As you can see we are embeding or displaying the youtube video inside the bootstrap player and also using the ngx-youtube-video player and for this inside the index.html file you need to copy paste the cdn of bootstrap as shown below

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

  <head>
    <title>Angular Playground</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/latest/css/bootstrap.min.css" type="text/css" />
  </head>

  <body>
    <my-app>
    loading...
  </my-app>
  </body>

</html>

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Angular Playground</title>

</head>

<body>

<my-app>

</my-app>

</body>

</html>

And now you need to go to app.component.ts file and copy paste the below typescript code to add the functionality to the youtube video player to play and pause the video

app.component.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import * as NGYTPackage from '../../package.json';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'],
})
export class AppComponent {
  id = 'V462IsOV3js';
  playerVars = {
    cc_lang_pref: 'en',
  };
  version = '...';
  private player;
  public ytEvent;

  constructor() {
    this.version = NGYTPackage['dependencies']['ngx-youtube-player'].replace(
      '^',
      ''
    );
  }
  onStateChange(event) {
    this.ytEvent = event.data;
  }
  savePlayer(player) {
    this.player = player;
  }

  playVideo() {
    this.player.playVideo();
  }

  pauseVideo() {
    this.player.pauseVideo();
  }
}

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

import * as NGYTPackage from '../../package.json';

@Component({

selector: 'my-app',

templateUrl: './app.component.html',

styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'],

})

export class AppComponent {

id = 'V462IsOV3js';

playerVars = {

cc_lang_pref: 'en',

};

version = '...';

private player;

public ytEvent;

constructor() {

this.version = NGYTPackage['dependencies']['ngx-youtube-player'].replace(

'^',

);

}

onStateChange(event) {

this.ytEvent = event.data;

}

savePlayer(player) {

this.player = player;

}

playVideo() {

this.player.playVideo();

}

pauseVideo() {

this.player.pauseVideo();

}
