If you use this package in production, we ask that you buy the world some trees to thank us for our work. By contributing to our forest you’ll be creating employment for local families and restoring wildlife habitats.

Installation

Add the package to your Laravel project using composer:

$ composer require leewillis77/cached-embed

Configuration

You can publish the configuration file using the following artisan command:

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Leewillis77\CachedEmbed\CachedEmbedServiceProvider" --tag="config"  

You can change the following values in the configuration file (config/cachedembed.php):

• expiry The default expiry time of cached embed data (in minutes).
• store The name of cache store to use to store embed data. This must be a valid cache store as defined in config/cache.php

Usage

Simply use CachedEmbed::create instead of Embed::create, e.g

<?php

use Leewillis77\CachedEmbed\CachedEmbed;

$data = CachedEmbed::create('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ');

As with the underlying embed library, you can pass arguments as the second variable, e.g.

<?php

use Leewillis77\CachedEmbed\CachedEmbed;

$data = CachedEmbed::create(
	'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ',
	[ 'choose_bigger_image' => true ]
);

The library also supports setting a specific expiry time for individual embeds via a third parameter:

<?php

use Leewillis77\CachedEmbed\CachedEmbed;

$data = CachedEmbed::create(
	'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ',
	[ 'choose_bigger_image' => true ],
	30
);

Treeware

You're free to use this package, but if it makes it to your production environment you are required to buy the world a tree.

It’s now common knowledge that one of the best tools to tackle the climate crisis and keep our temperatures from rising above 1.5C is to plant trees. If you support this package and contribute to the Treeware forest you’ll be creating employment for local families and restoring wildlife habitats.
