Hi @supple dew. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
To fetch the video source from your API endpoint, you can use the fetch function in JavaScript. Here's an example of how the getVideoSrc() function might look:
async function getVideoSrc() {
const response = await fetch('/api/your-endpoint');
const data = await response.json();
return data.src;
}
This function sends a GET request to your API endpoint (/api/your-endpoint), then parses the response as JSON and returns the src property from the response data.
Then, you can use this function in your VideoComponent:
export default async function VideoComponent() {
const src = await getVideoSrc();
return <iframe src={src} frameborder="0" allowfullscreen />;
}
This component fetches the video source URL using getVideoSrc() and renders an iframe with this source URL.
Please replace /api/your-endpoint with your actual API endpoint. The endpoint should return a JSON object that includes a src property with the URL of the video you want to embed.
Remember to handle any potential errors that might occur during the fetch operation. For example, the fetch request might fail due to network issues, or the endpoint might return an error response.

provide me with api route of that endpoint that returnes hardcoded value

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
Sure, you can create an API route in Next.js by creating a file in the pages/api directory. Here's an example of an API route that returns a hardcoded video source URL:
// pages/api/your-endpoint.js
export default function handler(req, res) {
res.status(200).json({ src: '<https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ'> });
}
In this example, when you send a GET request to /api/your-endpoint, the server responds with a JSON object that includes a src property with the URL of a YouTube video.
Please replace '<https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ'> with the actual URL of the video you want to embed, and replace your-endpoint with the desired endpoint name.
