Greaby/markdown-it-oembed

MarkdownIt plugin allowing the integration of hundred of embeddable urls (thanks to the oEmbed standard): Youtube, Vimeo, Instagram, Giphy...

Installation

npm install markdown-it-oembed --save

How it works

This plugin uses a list of providers providers.json to match embeddable URLs and retrieves the HTML code required to display the embed. Since the oEmbed process requires making an HTTP request, it must be done asynchronously. I have reimplemented the MarkdownIt.render function to support that. The new function is called  MarkdownIt.renderAsync (or for inline: MarkdownIt.renderInlineAsync)

In the markdown code, you need to put the embed URL in the image tag as follows:

![Getting Started: Sktch.io](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMfBj0U221k)

Example usage

const MarkdownIt 			= require('markdown-it');
const MarkdownItOEmbed 			= require('markdown-it-oembed');

var md = new MarkdownIt({
	linkify	: true,
	breaks	: false,
});
md.use(MarkdownItOEmbed);
(async () => {
	console.log(await md.renderAsync('![Getting Started: Sktch.io](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMfBj0U221k)'));
})();
