# Requirements
CDF-NG-MEDIA requires the latest version of Angular (at the time of this writing: 2.4.7).
```sh
  //package.json

  "dependencies": {
    "@angular/common": "2.4.7",
    "@angular/compiler": "2.4.7",
    "@angular/core": "2.4.7",
    "@angular/forms": "2.4.7",
    "@angular/http": "2.4.7",
    "@angular/platform-browser": "2.4.7",
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "2.4.7",
    "@angular/router": "3.4.7"
	...
  }
```

CDF-NG-MEDIA also utilizes the following 3rd party sources:

* [JW Player][jwplayer-url] as the vehicle for loading videos.  CDF-NG-MEDIA is currently using:
  * JW Player version 7.12.11


# Installation
CDF-NG-MEDIA requires a JW Player key in order for JW Player to work correctly.  You will need to create an account and establish a JW Player key.  You will provide the JW Player Key during configuration.  See [JW Player][jwplayer-url] for creating an account.

## Installing CDF-NG-MEDIA in your Angular application:
```sh
    //STEP 1: INSTALL CDF-NG-MEDIA

    npm install @screwtopmedia/cdf-ng-media --save

...................................................

    //STEP 2: create a config file (cdf-media-config.ts) to provide configuration settings:

    import { ConfigInterface } from '@screwtopmedia/cdf-ng-media/lib';

    export const CdfMediaConfig: ConfigInterface =
      {
        JwPlayerKey: 'YOUR JW PLAYER KEY'
      };

...................................................
  //STEP 3: configure your AppModule:

    // app.module.ts
    import { CdfModule } from '@cdf/cdf-ng/lib';
    import { CdfMediaConfig } from './configs';

    @NgModule({
      declarations: [ ... ],
      imports: [
        ...
        //3rd PARTY
        CdfMediaModule.forRoot(CdfMediaConfig),
      ],
      providers: [ ... ],
      bootstrap: [ ... ]
    })
    export class AppModule { }

```


# CDF-NG-MEDIA Models
CDF-NG-MEDIA containes the following models needed to show media asset(s):
* CdfMediaModel
* CdfVideoModel

## *CdfMediaModel*
CdfMediaModel is the model that contains data about the media asset (image and/or video).  CdfMediaModel contains the following data points:

```sh
	Id: string;
	Type: string;
	Title: string;
	Description: string;
	ImageUri: string;
	YouTubeId: string;
	VideoList: CdfVideoModel[] = [];
	HasImage: boolean = false;
	HasVideo: boolean = false;
```
  * Type can be used to apply a label ontop of the media asset (perfect for a collection of media assets of different types)
  * ImageUri is the complete http URL to an image
  * YouTubeId is the unique value representing a YouTube video (ex. 8geR0yacozY)
  * VideoList is an optional collection of URIs to different videos.  This is a placeholder for future functionality

## *CdfVideoModel*
CdfVideoModel is a placeholder data model for future development.



# CDF-NG-MEDIA Components
CDF-NG-MEDIA containes the following components you can use:
* CdfMediaComponent
* CdfMediaSliderComponent
* CdfVideoBackgroundComponent


## **CdfMediaComponent**
**CdfMediaComponent** is the base component used to display either an image or a video.  CdfMediaComponent consumes CdfMediaModel which contains all the data necessary to determine if the media asset is a video or an image.


## **CdfMediaSliderComponent**
**CdfMediaSliderComponent** is a component handling a collection of CdfMediaModels (mix of images and/or videos).   CdfMediaSliderComponent arranges the media in a grid.  If one of the items is a video, then playing the video will cause an information pane to slide out showing media's title, type, description and a button to click.  You can toggle on/off title, type, and description.

```sh
<cdf-media-slider [mediaModelList]="mediaModelList"
    [showType]="showType"
    [showTitle]="showTitle"
    [showDescription]="showDescription"
    (onImageClick)="doMediaClick($event)"></cdf-media-slider>
```


## CdfVideoBackgroundComponent
**CdfVideoBackgroundComponent** uses JW Player's capability to run a video contained in CdfMediaModel in the background.
