[Vuejs]-Issue using a Vue component (with video.js) in rails

I looked up their docs and I saw a very different example here: https://docs.videojs.com/tutorial-vue.html

It just instantiates the Video.js player on mounted and destroys it on beforeDestroy.

<template>
    <div>
        <video ref="videoPlayer" class="video-js"></video>
    </div>
</template>

<script>
import videojs from 'video.js';

export default {
    name: "VideoPlayer",
    props: {
        options: {
            type: Object,
            default() {
                return {};
            }
        }
    },
    data() {
        return {
            player: null
        }
    },
    mounted() {
        this.player = videojs(this.$refs.videoPlayer, this.options, function onPlayerReady() {
            console.log('onPlayerReady', this);
        })
    },
    beforeDestroy() {
        if (this.player) {
            this.player.dispose()
        }
    }
}
</script>

You can then use it like this: (see options guide for option information)

<template>
  <div>
        <video-player :options="videoOptions"/>
    </div>
</template>

<script>
import VideoPlayer from "@/components/VideoPlayer.vue";

export default {
    name: "VideoExample",
    components: {
        VideoPlayer
    },
    data() {
        return {
            videoOptions: {
                autoplay: true,
                controls: true,
                sources: [
                    {
                        src:
                            "/path/to/video.mp4",
                          type: "video/mp4"
                    }
                ]
            }
        };
    }
};

Don’t forget to include the Video.js CSS, located at video.js/dist/video-js.css.
