<lite-vimeo>

A web component that displays Vimeo embeds faster. Based on @slightlyoff's work (among others), this extends the component to allow for custom image placeholders and unlisted videos.

Features

• No dependencies; it's just vanilla JS & a web component.
• It's fast 🏎️.
• It's Shadow Dom encapsulated!
• It's responsive 16:9
• It's accessible via keyboard and will set ARIA via the videotitle attribute
• It's locale ready; you can set the videoplay to have a properly locale based label
• Set the start attribute to start at a particular place in a video
• You can set autoload to use Intersection Observer to load the iframe when scrolled into view.
• Loads placeholder image as WebP with a Jpeg fallback
• Allows custom placeholder images
• Allows unlisted vimeo videos

Install

This web component is built with ES modules in mind and is available on NPM:

Install code-block:

Misc.

I also wrote a script to track videos views with Google Tag Manager. Since it's in the ShadowDOM, it gets a bit tricky, so here's a link to that repo.
