repository

The repository stores all nodes known to the player.
Nodes are retrievable via their string ID.

Example

var player = new InterludePlayer('#playerContainer');
var nodeConfigObject = {
    id: 'myNode',
    source: {
        version: '2.1.2',
        id: 'fdbf8d91-56c4-4de1-ada7-17a9bc8252ca',
        metadata: {...},
        representations: [
            {...},
            {...}
        ]
    }
};
player.repository.add(nodeConfigObject);
player.playlist.push('myNode');

Methods

player.repository.add() ⇒ Node | Array.<Node>

method

Adds a node to the repository.
The added node can later be referenced by id when pushing to playlist.
The method accepts either a single node config object, or an array of objects, or multiple arguments.
If the node alredy exists it will override previous instance and log a warning.
The nodeConfigObj object MUST contain a string id and a source property.
For more information regarding IVDs, see the encoding guide.

Returns: Node | Array.<Node> - A node instance, or an array of instances.
See: Node, repository.get, repository.update, repository.remove, repository.has

Param	Type	Description
…nodeConfigObj	object | Array.<object>	A node config object, or an array of node config objects, or multiple node config objects.
nodeConfigObj.id	string	Required. A string id for the node. Should be unique among the nodes registered with this repository instance.
nodeConfigObj.source	object | string | function	Required. An IVD file (Interlude Video Descriptor). Valid values are: - Contents of an IVD file (as an object or a JSON string). - An absolute URL pointing to an IVD file. - The string null or any falsy value (will produce a null-node with duration 0). - A function that returns a valid value, or a promise that resolves with a valid value.
[nodeConfigObj.prefetch]	Array.<string>	Optional. List of prefetch node IDs. See addPrefetch.
[nodeConfigObj.data]	object	Optional. Any additional data to be attached to the node for later usage.

Example

player.repository.add({id: 'myNode', source: ...});
player.playlist.push('myNode');

player.repository.update() ⇒ Node | Array.<Node>

method

Updates a pre-existing node in the repository (will be matched by id).
The method accepts either a single node config object, or an array of objects, or multiple arguments.
If node does not exists it will add a new node and issue a warning.

Returns: Node | Array.<Node> - The updated node instance, or an array of instances.
See: Node, repository.add, repository.get, repository.remove, repository.has

Param	Type	Description
…nodeConfigObj	object | Array.<object>	A node config object, or an array of node config objects, or multiple node config objects.

player.repository.get() ⇒ Node | Array.<Node>

method

Get a reference to a node (or nodes) by id.
Supports the special value all, which will return all nodes in repository.
The method accepts either a single id, or an array of ids, or multiple ids.

Returns: Node | Array.<Node> - The requested Node object or objects.
See: Node, repository.add, repository.update, repository.remove, repository.has

Param	Type	Description
…id	string | Array.<string>	A node id, or an array of ids, or multiple ids, or special value all.

Example

var nodes = player.repository.get('all');
for (var i = 0; i < nodes.length; i++) {
    console.log(nodes[i].id);
}

player.repository.remove()

method

Deletes a node (or nodes) from repository.
Can only be called when playlist is empty (otherwise error will be logged).
Supports the special value all, which will delete all nodes in repository.
The method accepts either a single id, or an array of ids, or multiple ids.
If node does not exist, it will log a warning.

See: Node, repository.add, repository.update, repository.get, repository.has

Param	Type	Description
…id	string | Array.<string>	A node id, or an array of ids, or multiple ids, or special value all.

Example

player.repository.remove('myNode');

player.repository.has(id) ⇒ boolean

method

Checks whether a node with given id exists in repository.

Returns: boolean - True if exists in repository, false otherwise.
See: Node, repository.add, repository.update, repository.get, repository.remove

Param	Type	Description
id	string	A node id.

Example

if (!player.repository.has('myNode')) {
    player.repository.add({id: 'myNode', ...});
}

player.repository.reset()

method

Deletes all nodes in the repository.
Can only be called when playlist is empty (otherwise error will be logged).

Example

player.repository.reset();
player.repository.get('all');      // Empty array: []
