Design:
Solution:
We are using the ionic framework to render the player and its link.
using ionic version of 6.1.9 and node js version is 14 onwards
We can have players like pdf ,video and epub and we can implement different components each.
In the players list component we can have the list of the players
In the content list component we can have hardcoded list contents as of now , based on player selected in player list component
The player component will load the player with selected content from the list.
The player component will be integrated with respected players and the pdf player will be integrated in the pdf player component and follow the steps.
We are handling landscape mode only , not supporting the portrait mode.
As of now we can have one individual repository to store code or we can get details of new repo and store code.
We can have an apk link in the microsite so that it will be accessible to testers and adopters.
Pros:
Its easy to implement
we can have different components for different players
Cons:
We are supporting only landscape mode , not supporting portrait mode
As of now we are rendering a contents list from hardcoded data.
