embedica

Converts links into embed HTML for several sites.

Usage

No external libraries required. Just include and use. Pass in a string as a parameter. Returns the string with URLs converted to the desired HTML. Each embedded element is wrapped in a span with the class embedica_element and a class coresponding to it's type (Example: embedica_youtube) to help you target with CSS and JavaScript as needed.

    /* Default to convert all */
    string = embedica(string);
    
    /* Specify which URLs to convert */
    var embedica_settings = {
        "youtube": true,
        "vimeo": true,
        "twitch": true,
        "soundcloud": true,
        "vocaroo": true,
        "imgur": true,
        "video_url": true,
        "image_url": true,
        "general_url": true
    };
    var string = embedica(string, embedica_settings);

Inside of .embedica_element is a hidden span with the class embedica_original_input that contains the original message.
