Video feed loading result callback

VideoFeed component provides onVideoFeedLoadFinished prop for setting video feed loading result callback.

<VideoFeed
  style={{ height: 200 }}
  source="discover"
  onVideoFeedLoadFinished={(error) => {
  /**
    * if error is undefined, it means that video feed loaded successfully. 
    * Otherwise, it means that video feed failed to load.
    */
  console.log('onVideoFeedLoadFinished error', error);
  }}
/>

Force refreshing video feed

const feedRef = useRef<VideoFeed>(null);

const handleRefresh = () => {
  //force refreshing video feed
  feedRef.current?.refresh();
};

<VideoFeed 
  style={{ height: 200 }} 
  source="discover"
  ref={feedRef} 
/>

<Button
  onPress={handleRefresh}
  title="Refresh"

onVideoFeedClick

The callback is triggered when users click the video feed item. The event type is VideoFeedClickEvent.

FireworkSDK.getInstance().onVideoFeedClick = (event) => {};

onCustomCTAClick

The callback is triggered when users click the CTA button on the video in the video player. We start the floating player in the following sample codes. The event type is CustomCTAClickEvent.

FireworkSDK.getInstance().onCustomCTAClick = async (event) => {
  const result = await FireworkSDK.getInstance().navigator.startFloatingPlayer();
  if (!result) {
    /* when the result is false, the current fullscreen player may not
     * enable the floating player. In that case, we could call the
     * following method to close the fullscreen player.
     */
    await FireworkSDK.getInstance().navigator.popNativeContainer();
  }
  
  // Navigate to the RN webview page of the host app.
  navigation.navigate('LinkContent', { url: event.url });
}
