Embedit
-——

Embedit is an embedding tool written in Ruby.

We are currently re-writing dothegreenthing.com and allow users to add media from pretty much anywhere. Handling all the
different embed codes/api’s validations and everything else that comes with this functionality can be/is a pain.

Embedit is extremely simple to use. You have the url? Just plonk it in here =>

media = Embedit::Media.new(‘here’)

Thats it!

At the time of writing, you now have the ability to call:
media.title => Shows the title of whatever was uploaded
media.format => The format of the file
media.url => The url to the media
media.html => The embed code, whether this is a generic flash player, a company player (Vimeo, Youtube), image tag and
more to come.

You also specify media sizes => media.html(:width => 200, :height => 700)

You can also validate an url (useful for a active record (or whatever you use) validation)
media.valid? => Returns true or false

At the moment Embedit supports
