@hyperframes/player

Embeddable web component for playing HyperFrames compositions. Zero dependencies, works with any framework.

Install

npm install @hyperframes/player

Or load directly via CDN:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@hyperframes/player"></script>

Usage

<hyperframes-player src="./my-composition/index.html" controls></hyperframes-player>

The player loads the composition in a sandboxed iframe, auto-detects its dimensions and duration, and scales it responsively to fit the container.

With a framework

import "@hyperframes/player";

// The custom element is now registered — use it in your markup
// React: <hyperframes-player src="..." controls />
// Vue:   <hyperframes-player :src="url" controls />

Poster image

Show a static image before playback starts:

<hyperframes-player
  src="./composition/index.html"
  poster="./thumbnail.jpg"
  controls
></hyperframes-player>

Attributes

Attribute	Type	Default	Description
src	string	—	URL to the composition HTML file
width	number	1920	Composition width in pixels (aspect ratio)
height	number	1080	Composition height in pixels (aspect ratio)
controls	boolean	false	Show play/pause, scrubber, and time display
muted	boolean	false	Mute audio playback
poster	string	—	Image URL shown before playback starts
playback-rate	number	1	Speed multiplier (0.5 = half, 2 = double)
autoplay	boolean	false	Start playing when ready
loop	boolean	false	Restart when the composition ends

JavaScript API

const player = document.querySelector("hyperframes-player");

// Playback
player.play();
player.pause();
player.seek(2.5); // jump to 2.5 seconds

// Properties
player.currentTime; // number (read/write)
player.duration; // number (read-only)
player.paused; // boolean (read-only)
player.ready; // boolean (read-only)
player.playbackRate; // number (read/write)
player.muted; // boolean (read/write)
player.loop; // boolean (read/write)

Events

Event	Detail	Fired when
ready	{ duration }	Composition loaded and duration determined
play	—	Playback started
pause	—	Playback paused
timeupdate	{ currentTime }	Playback position changed (~10 fps)
ended	—	Reached the end (when not looping)
error	{ message }	Composition failed to load

player.addEventListener("ready", (e) => {
  console.log(`Duration: ${e.detail.duration}s`);
});

player.addEventListener("ended", () => {
  console.log("Done!");
});

Sizing

The player fills its container and scales the composition to fit while preserving aspect ratio. Set a size on the element or its parent:

hyperframes-player {
  width: 100%;
  max-width: 800px;
  aspect-ratio: 16 / 9;
}

The width and height attributes define the composition's native resolution for aspect ratio calculation — they don't set the player's display size.

How it works

The player renders compositions in a sandboxed <iframe> inside a Shadow DOM. It communicates with the HyperFrames runtime via postMessage. If the composition has GSAP timelines (window.__timelines) but no runtime, the player auto-injects it from CDN.
