Embed Video

This package makes it easier to work with both Youtube and Vimeo video url's. It automatically detects the reference from the url.

For example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ
https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ

are all valid youtube links, but to embed an iFrame, you need the third option.

This package allows all the options as input, and is able to generate the correct output urls to embed the iframe.

Installation

You can install the package with composer

composer require justijndepover/embed-video

Usage

use Justijndepover\EmbedVideo\Video;

$video = Video::from('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ');

If you provide the class with a faulty link, a Justijndepover\EmbedVideo\VideoException will be thrown.

Validate

$validated = Video::validate('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ');

This will validate the given url and return either true or false

Embed

$html = $video->embed();

This will generate the embedded iframe for either Youtube or Vimeo.

<iframe type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ?autoplay=0&rel=0" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Embed url

$url = $video->embedUrl();

This will generate the embedded url used in the iframe for either Youtube or Vimeo.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ

Thumbnail

$thumbnail = $video->thumbnail();

This will generate a thumbnail url for the cover image;

http://img.youtube.com/vi/dQw4w9WgXcQ/0.jpg

Reference

$reference = $video->reference();

This will return the video reference;

Autoplay

To add autoplay to the embed iframe, you can make use of the fluent syntax:

$html = $video->autoplay()->embed();

<iframe type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ?autoplay=1&rel=0" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Class

To add a class to the embed iframe, you can make use of the fluent syntax:

$html = $video->class('video-container')->embed();

<iframe class="video-container" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ?autoplay=0&rel=0" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Additional attributes

To add additional attributes to the embed iframe, you can make use of the fluent syntax:

$html = $video->addAttribute('width', 'auto')->embed();

<iframe type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ?autoplay=0&rel=0" frameborder="0" width="auto"></iframe>
