jquery.tube.js

Tube is a jQuery plugin to access YouTube's player and data APIs transparently. The basic approach is centered around 'tube' objects: a tube is an abstract container filled with videos based on a YouTube playlist, user's feed or a search query; a tube offers the basic control and event handling interfaces you would expect from a playlist (play, pause, next, etc.) and is associated with a player instance. A player is a thin wrapper around YouTube's iFrame or (if window.pushMessage is unavailable) JavaScript player API; thus, the player is intended to work transparently on legacy browsers (IE7) and modern HTML5 capable devices without Flash support.

This plugin contains no stylesheets; tube instances create simple HTML lists of their contents (the structure can be adjusted for each instance through a simple template system).

Installation

Simply grab jquery.tube.js or jquery.tube.min.js from the project's root directory. For bower users simply run:

$ bower install jquery.tube

Or add "jquery.tube" as a dependency to your component.json file.

Documentation

For the time being, consult the examples in the demo and test directories.

Development

This plugin uses the awesome mocha framework for testing; in order to run the tests you need to install a few libraries through npm:

$ npm install
$ npm test

If you customize any of Tube's components, you can build a new version of the plugin as follows:

$ bundle install
$ rake build minify
