video loading in javascript

To load a video in JavaScript, you first need to create a video element in your HTML code. You can then use JavaScript to access this element and load a video file into it.

<video id="myVideo" width="320" height="240">
  <source src="myVideo.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

Here, we have created a video element with an id of myVideo and added a source URL to it.

In JavaScript, you can access this element using the getElementById method and add an event listener to it to start loading the video when the page is loaded.

index.tsx
window.addEventListener('load', function() {
  var video = document.getElementById('myVideo');
  video.load();
});

Here, we are adding an event listener for the load event and using the load() method to start loading the video.

Note: It's important to add the type attribute to the source element to ensure that the correct video codec is used.

Additionally, you may want to add a preload attribute to your video element to specify how the video should be preloaded. For example, you can specify preload="none" to prevent the video from being loaded until the user presses play.

<video id="myVideo" width="320" height="240" preload="none">
  <source src="myVideo.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

I hope this helps you with video loading in JavaScript!
