Error
The ErrorIndicator
component is a visual representation of error states in media playback based on error types.
The Error
component can be shown for all error types, or a subset of them.
It is usually recommended to be more granular in the error types, since some
errors are more “fatal” and some cannot be recovered from.
Features
- Conditional rendering based on the error state, customizable with the
matcher
pattern - Dynamic data attributes for custom styling based on the current error state
Anatomy
Import the components and piece the parts together.
Props
The component accepts all props suitable for a div element, in addition to the following specific props:
forceMount
A boolean to force the component’s presence in the DOM, useful for controlling animations with external libraries.
matcher
A prop to define the condition under which the ErrorIndicator
should be
visible. It can be a string indicating a broad category of errors (like "all"
or "not-permissions"
) or a more specific error type. Alternatively, it can be
a function for custom logic, receiving the PlaybackError type and returning a
boolean for whether it should be shown.
Data Attributes
data-livepeer-error-indicator
Always present to indicate the component’s role.
data-error-state
Indicates whether there is an error ("true"
or "false"
).
data-error-type
Specifies the type of the current error or "none"
if no error is present.
Could be one of:
"offline" | "access-control" | "fallback" | "permissions" | "unknown" | "none"
data-visible
Reflects whether the indicator is currently visible ("true"
or "false"
).
This is often used for dynamically applying enter/exit CSS animations.
