# chewie

The video player for Flutter with a heart of gold. 

The [`video_player`](https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/video_player) plugin provides low-level access to video playback. Chewie uses the `video_player` under the hood and wraps it in a friendly Material or Cupertino UI! 

## Demo

![Demo](https://github.com/brianegan/chewie/raw/master/assets/chewie_demo.gif)

## Installation

In your `pubspec.yaml` file within your Flutter Project: 

```yaml
dependencies:
  chewie: <latest_version>
```

## Use it

```dart
import 'package:chewie/chewie.dart';
final videoPlayerController = VideoPlayerController.network(
    'https://flutter.github.io/assets-for-api-docs/videos/butterfly.mp4');

final chewieController = ChewieController(
  videoPlayerController: videoPlayerController,
  aspectRatio: 3 / 2,
  autoPlay: true,
  looping: true,
);

final playerWidget = Chewie(
  controller: chewieController,
);
```

Please make sure to dispose both controller widgets after use. For example by overriding the dispose method of the a `StatefulWidget`:
```dart
@override
void dispose() {
  videoPlayerController.dispose();
  chewieController.dispose();
  super.dispose();
}
```

## Example

Please run the app in the [`example/`](https://github.com/brianegan/chewie/tree/master/example) folder to start playing!

## Migrating from Chewie < 0.9.0
Instead of passing the `VideoPlayerController` and your options to the `Chewie` widget you now pass them to the `ChewieController` and pass that latter to the `Chewie` widget.

```dart
final playerWidget = Chewie(
  videoPlayerController,
  aspectRatio: 3 / 2,
  autoPlay: true,
  looping: true,
);
```

becomes

```dart
final chewieController = ChewieController(
  videoPlayerController: videoPlayerController,
  aspectRatio: 3 / 2,
  autoPlay: true,
  looping: true,
);

final playerWidget = Chewie(
  controller: chewieController,
);
```

## iOS warning

The video player plugin used by chewie is not functional on iOS simulators. An iOS device must be used during development/testing. Please refer to this [issue](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/14647).
