Embed youtube videos in on site saving URL and get relevant output in view
-
Simple Embed
-
Embed with title, description & thumbnail
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'youtube_embed'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install youtube_embed
And add CSS and JS
CSS in application.css
*= require youtube_embed
JS in application.js
//= require youtube_embed
It can be used in model where we can specify simple iframe embed or embedding with thumbnail & description
Simple:
youtube_embed :field_name, {:with_description => false, :width => 450, :height => 300}
With Thumbnail & Description:
youtube_embed :field_name, {:with_description => true, :width => 450, :height => 300}
This will modify the youtube link into html required to embed, If you don't want to modify html or simple change the view you can call method in view like this:
<?= YoutubeEmbed::youtube_embed(attr_here) ?>
Working on further improvements
youtube_embed
