Displaying videos

One of the advantages of using DatoCMS instead of other content management systems is its video query, which will return pre-computed video attributes that will help you display videos in your frontend without any additional manipulation.

To make it easy to offer optimized, progressive videos on your projects, we offer a package called react-datocms that exposes a <VideoPlayer /> component and pairs perfectly with the video query.

To take advantage of it, install the react-datocms package:

Terminal window
npm install react-datocms

Then, inside your page, feed content coming from a video query directly into the <VideoPlayer /> component:

import { load } from "~/lib/datocms";
import { VideoPlayer } from "react-datocms";
import { useLoaderData } from "remix";
const HOMEPAGE_QUERY = `query HomePage($limit: IntType) {
posts: allBlogPosts(first: $limit) {
id
title
coverVideo {
video {
muxPlaybackId
title
width
height
blurUpThumb
}
}
}
}`;
export async function loader() {
return load(HOMEPAGE_QUERY, {
variables: { limit: 10 }
});
}
export default function Home() {
const { posts } = useLoaderData();
return (
<div>
{posts.map(blogPost => (
<article key={blogPost.id}>
<VideoPlayer data={blogPost.coverVideo.video} />
<h6>{blogPost.title}</h6>
</article>
))}
</div>
);
}
