How to use

There are two main use cases: using the core library and using the react hook.

Using the core library

The core library is responsible of all tiktok operations: get tiktok info like video and audio stuff as well author full data.

Just import the library and execute ´process´ method:

import { tiktok } from '@gugadev/tiktok.js'

tiktok.process('<video url>').then(data => {
    
})

The value resolved by the promise is an object containing the following fields:

• info: object containing audio, video and author objects.
• getAudio: function that downloads the audio of the video. Returns a promise.
• getVideo: function that downloads the video. Returns a promise.

Aditionally, there is a second argument for process method:

import { tiktok } from '@gugadev/tiktok.js'

tiktok.process('<video url>', '<proxy url>').then(data => {
    
})

The proxy url is a url of some server acting as proxy between the web browser and tiktok server to avoid CORS policy.

Using the react library.

For react users there is a hook built in. This hook accept three arguments:

• url of the tiktok.
• identifier: acts as a key. If the key changes, the request will be fired again.
• otpions:
  • proxy: proxy server or undefined.
  • enabled: flag that indicates if the request could be done.

import { useTiktok } from '@gugadev/tiktok.js'

export const App = () => {
    const [url, setUrl] = useState('')
    const tiktok = useTiktok(url)

    const handleChange = (e: ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>): void => {
        setUrl(e.target.value)
    }

    const donwload = () => {
        if (tiktok.getVideo) {
            tiktok.getVideo().then(() => {
                console.log('Video downloaded')
            })
        }
    }

    const processTiktok = () => {
        tiktok.get()
    }

    useEffect(() => {
        if (tiktok.info) {
            console.log('Tiktok info:', tiktok.info)
        }
    }, [tiktok.info])

    useEffect(() => {
        if (tiktok.error) {
            console.warn('No se pudo obtener tiktok:', tiktok.error)
        }
    }, [tiktok.error])

    const getButtonText = () => {
        if (tiktok.isFetching) {
            return 'Fetching...'
        }
        if (tiktok.isDownloading) {
            return 'Downloading...'
        }
        if (tiktok.isSuccess) {
            return 'Download'
        }
        return 'Get'
    }

    return (
        <div className="downloadForm">
            <div className="downloadForm__container">
                <input
                    type="text"
                    value={url}
                    onChange={handleChange}
                />
                <button
                    onClick={tiktok.isSuccess ? downloadVideo : processTiktok}
                    disabled={url.length === 0}
                >
                    { getButtonText() }
                </button>
            </div>
        </div>
    )
}

The hook return an object with the following fields:

• info: same as core library.
• getAudio: same as core library.
• getVideo: same as core library.
• isFetching: if the tiktok is fetching.
• isSuccess: if the tiktok is fetched.
• isError: if the tiktok failed.
• isDownloading: if the tiktok is downloading (audio or video).
• error: error in fail case.
• get: method to start fetching the tiktok.
