Kaltura Simple Uploader (React)

Kaltura Simple Uploader (react) CI Conventional Commits

A basic library to make it easy to add support for uploading single videos to Kaltura.

Usage

In the example folder there is an example of how to use the module. There are the following key parts:

  1. Import render from the module;
  2. Import the styles.css from the module; and
  3. Call render against a target DOM element with your Kaltura details.

Updating Kaltura Typescript Client API

For some reason, kaltura have stopped publishing their kaltura-typescript-client to NPM. It seems the recommended method is to download the latest release from https://github.com/kaltura/KalturaGeneratedAPIClientsTypescript and then follow the instructions in the project's README.md.

This basically involves building a local copy and dropping the resultant archive into your repository. This is needed - rather than simply rebuilding on each install/clone - due to timestamps in version numbers and elsewhere resulting in difficulties in aiming for reproducible builds which would pass NPM package-lock.json hash checks.

After much battling with this (and NPM's preinstall script which does not occur before install) the install-kaltura-client.sh script codifies this process should anyone want to easily update in the future.

The script downloads and builds the client, placing the resultant distributable in the root of the project (not the slightly ugly tgz file sitting there). Then it npm installs it resulting in updated package.json and package-lock.json.

If you wish to update to a newer version then modify filenames and URLs in the script as needed, and run it. After that make sure you:

  • remove the old tgz file from git;
  • add the new tgz file to git; and
  • commit the changes to package.json and package-lock.json

Licensing

The Kaltura libraries seem to mainly be AGPLv3 which is at odds with the Apereo Practices on Third-Party Licenses. Hence, this module is stand-alone.

ToDo

  • Address warning : 'Notice! Your application bundle the whole package of kaltura-xxx-client (either rxjs/ngx/typescript), please refer to the library readme.md to reduce app bundle size.' (This has been mostly addressed, however more work is required if desired.)
  • Internationalisation
  • Increase test coverage
