Components === The Video.js player is built on top of a simple, custom UI components architecture. The player class and all control classes inherit from the Component class, or a subclass of Component. ```js videojs.Control = videojs.Component.extend(); videojs.Button = videojs.Control.extend(); videojs.PlayToggle = videojs.Button.extend(); ``` The UI component architecture makes it easier to add child components to a parent component and build up an entire user interface, like the controls for the Video.js player. ```js // Adding a new control to the player myPlayer.addChild('BigPlayButton'); ``` Every component has an associated DOM element, and when you add a child component, it inserts the element of that child into the element of the parent. ```js myPlayer.addChild('BigPlayButton'); ``` Results in: ```html
``` The actual default component structure of the Video.js player looks something like this: ``` Player PosterImage TextTrackDisplay LoadingSpinner BigPlayButton ControlBar PlayToggle FullscreenToggle CurrentTimeDisplay TimeDivider DurationDisplay RemainingTimeDisplay ProgressControl SeekBar LoadProgressBar PlayProgressBar SeekHandle VolumeControl VolumeBar VolumeLevel VolumeHandle MuteToggle ```
