PlayKit JS UI Managers - Kaltura UI Managers for the [Kaltura Player JS]

• playkit-js-ui-managers

playkit-js-ui-managers is a kaltura player plugin that groups several UI services, in order to simplify and facilitate the customization of the kaltura player UI by providing a simple and clean API.

Each service manages a different area of UI functionality.

It relies on kaltura player core API for managing UI features.

playkit-js-ui-managers is written in ECMAScript6 (*.js) and TypeScript (*.ts) (strongly typed superset of ES6), and transpiled in ECMAScript5 using Babel and the TypeScript compiler.

Webpack is used to build the distro bundle and serve the local development environment.
