# Advanced Properties

The `Advanced Properties` here refer to the `secondary properties` attached to the `instance`, which are less commonly used.

## `option`

The player's options.

<div className="run-code">▶ Run Code</div>

```js
var art = new Artplayer({
    container: '.artplayer-app',
    url: '/assets/sample/video.mp4',
});

console.info(art.option);
```

:::warning Note

If you directly modify this `option` object, the player will not respond immediately.

:::

## `template`

Manages all `DOM` elements of the player.

<div className="run-code">▶ Run Code</div>

```js
var art = new Artplayer({
    container: '.artplayer-app',
    url: '/assets/sample/video.mp4',
});

console.info(art.template);
console.info(art.template.$video);
```

:::warning Note

To easily distinguish between `DOM` elements and regular objects, all `DOM` elements within the player are named with a `$` prefix.

This is the definition of all `DOM` elements: [artplayer/types/template.d.ts](https://github.com/zhw2590582/ArtPlayer/blob/master/packages/artplayer/types/template.d.ts)

:::

## `events`

Manages all `DOM` events for the player. It essentially proxies `addEventListener` and `removeEventListener`. When using the following methods to handle events, the events will also be automatically destroyed when the player is destroyed.

- The `proxy` method is used to proxy `DOM` events.
- The `hover` method is used to proxy custom `hover` events.

<div className="run-code">▶ Run Code</div>

```js
var container = document.querySelector('.artplayer-app');

var art = new Artplayer({
    container: container,
    url: '/assets/sample/video.mp4',
});

art.events.proxy(container, 'click', event => {
	console.info('click', event);
});

art.events.hover(container, (event) => {
    console.info('mouseenter', event);
}, (event) => {
    console.info('mouseleave', event);
});
```

:::warning Note

If you need `DOM` events that should only exist during the player's lifecycle, it is strongly recommended to use these functions to avoid memory leaks.

:::

## `storage`

Manages the player's local storage.

- The `name` property is used to set the cache `key`.
- The `set` method is used to set a cache.
- The `get` method is used to retrieve a cache.
- The `del` method is used to delete a cache.
- The `clear` method is used to clear all caches.

<div className="run-code">▶ Run Code</div>

```js
var art = new Artplayer({
    container: '.artplayer-app',
    url: '/assets/sample/video.mp4',
});

art.storage.set('test', { foo: 'bar' });
const test = art.storage.get('test');
console.info(test);
art.storage.del('test');
art.storage.clear();
```

:::warning Note

By default, all player instances share the same `localStorage`, and the default `key` is `artplayer_settings`.

If you want different players to use different `localStorage`, you can modify `art.storage.name`.

:::

<div className="run-code">▶ Run Code</div>

```js
var art = new Artplayer({
    container: '.artplayer-app',
    url: '/assets/sample/video.mp4',
});

art.storage.name = 'your-storage-key';
art.storage.set('test', { foo: 'bar' });
```

## `icons`

Manages all `svg` icons for the player.

<div className="run-code">▶ Run Code</div>

```js
var art = new Artplayer({
    container: '.artplayer-app',
    url: '/assets/sample/video.mp4',
});

console.info(art.icons.loading);
```

:::warning This is the definition of all icons:

[artplayer/types/icons.d.ts](https://github.com/zhw2590582/ArtPlayer/blob/master/packages/artplayer/types/icons.d.ts)

:::

## `i18n`

Manages the player's `i18n`.

- The `get` method is used to retrieve an `i18n` value.
- The `update` method is used to update the `i18n` object.

<div className="run-code">▶ Run Code</div>

```js
var art = new Artplayer({
    container: '.artplayer-app',
    url: '/assets/sample/video.mp4',
});

console.info(art.i18n.get('Play'));

art.i18n.update({
    'zh-cn': {
        Play: 'Your Play'
    }
});
```

:::warning

Using `art.i18n.update` can only update the `i18n` after instantiation. If you want to update `i18n` before instantiation, please use the `i18n` option in the basic settings.

:::
