Embed You­Tube Iframe with React Nat­ive | Simple Code Tutorial

Are you stuck with your React Nat­ive You­Tube IFrame Embed­ding Process?

As video con­tent con­tin­ues to grow in pop­ular­ity,  embed­ding You­Tube videos dur­ing your <a href="https://www.reactnativedevelopmentcompany.co.uk/">React Nat­ive app devel­op­ment </a>can sig­ni­fic­antly enhance your You­Tube users’ experience.

The pro­cess may look com­plex, but it is easy to fol­low. In this tutori­al, we’ll walk through the steps of embed­ding a You­Tube iframe in a React Nat­ive app using a simple code example.

So with fur­ther ado, let’s start.

Pre­requis­ite For  React Nat­ive You­Tube iframe

Before you start embed­ding You­Tube videos into your React Nat­ive app, there are a few setups you need to complete.

1 . Node.js and npm: These two pack­ages must be installed on your com­puter to build a React Nat­ive app. You can down­load it from the offi­cial Node.js site.

2 . React Nat­ive CLI : CLI is a com­mand line tool for cre­at­ing a React Nat­ive app. To install React Nat­ive CLI , run this com­mand on your terminal.

3 . Android Stu­dio or Xcode: Depend­ing on your devel­op­ing plat­form, you will need one of these emu­lat­ors. They are required if you want to run your code on pc. Down­load them from the offi­cial Android Stu­dio and Xcode websites.

4 . A You­Tube API key: To util­ize the react-nat­ive-you­tube pack­age and embed your You­Tube videos in your app, you’ll require a You­Tube API key. To get one, simply fol­low the pro­ced­ures on the Google Developers website.

Once you’ve com­pleted these steps, you can start React Nat­ive You­Tube embed pro­cess into your Nat­ive app.

Step  1  : Installing And Import­ing Library

To get star­ted, you must install the neces­sary depend­en­cies. In your ter­min­al, run the fol­low­ing com­mand to install the react-nat­ive-you­tube library:

Once you’ve installed the react-nat­ive-you­tube pack­age, you can import it into your app by adding the fol­low­ing code at the top of your App.js file:

Step  2  : Cre­at­ing Video Play­er Component

After import­ing, we’ll cre­ate a new com­pon­ent called Video­Play­er that will dis­play the You­Tube iframe. Here’s what the code for that com­pon­ent looks like:

In this part of the code, we’ve impor­ted the View and StyleSheet com­pon­ents from React Nat­ive and the You­Tube com­pon­ent from react-nat­ive-you­tube . We’ve then defined a func­tion­al com­pon­ent called Video­Play­er that returns a View com­pon­ent con­tain­ing the You­Tube component.

The You­Tube com­pon­ent takes a few prop­er­ties to con­trol its beha­viour. Here are the prop­er­ties we’ve used in this example:

<ul><li>videoId: The You­Tube video ID you want to embed. You can find this ID in the URL of the video on YouTube. </li><li>play: A boolean value that con­trols wheth­er the video should play auto­mat­ic­ally when the com­pon­ent mounts. </li><li>full­screen: A boolean value that will con­trol your React Nat­ive You­Tuber IFrame full­screen mode. </li><li>loop: A boolean value that con­trols wheth­er the video should loop continuously. </li><li>apiKey: Your You­Tube API key. You can get an API key by fol­low­ing the instruc­tions on the Google Developers website. </li><li>style: A style object that defines the height and width of the You­Tube component. </li> </ul>

Step  3  : Embed­ding Video Com­pon­ent Into App

Now that we’ve cre­ated our Video­Play­er com­pon­ent, we can use it in our app. Here’s an example of how you might use it in your App.js file:

Finally, after import­ing Video­Play­er com­pon­ent we’ve added it to our App com­pon­ent, also added some styles to the con­tain­er view to centre the video in the middle of the screen. You can change style com­pon­ent accord­ing to your preference.

And that’s it! You should now be able to see the You­Tube video embed­ded in your React Nat­ive app.

Note: It’s import­ant to note that if the You­Tuber IFrame API not work­ing, you might get some errors as the react-nat­ive-you­tube pack­age relies on the You­Tube API . There­fore, you’ll need a You­Tube API key to use this pack­age. You can get an API key by fol­low­ing the instruc­tions on the Google Developers website.

Below, we have showed the React Nat­ive You­Tube Iframe Example to help you under­stand how You­Tube iframe looks when embed­ded. You can also use React Nat­ive You­Tube iframe full­screen to dis­play full screen video.
