addEventListener method

Description

Add an event listener to trigger a callback as it happens. The callback will have the event payload as a single argument.

The WaspHlsPlayer API is heavily event-based. As an example: to know when a content is loaded, the most straightforward way is to add an event listener for the "playerStateChange" event.

This can be done only through this method.

To have the complete list of player events, consult the Player events page.

For example, to listen to errors, you could write:

player.addEventListener("error", function (err) {
  console.log(`The player stopped with an error: ${err.message}`);
});

Syntax

player.addEventListener(event, callback);

• arguments:

  1. event string: The wanted event’s name.

  2. callback Function: The callback for the event. The same callback may be used again when calling removeEventListener.
