VideoLinkHelper
This is a simple library to help deal with embedded video links. It allows you to extract the ID from a video link, and can use that ID to generate an iframe to embed the video into a web application.
This library supports Youtube and Vimeo links.
Installation
This package can be installed by adding video_link_helper
to your

]

Usage
Extract an identifier from a Youtube or Vimeo URL:
VideoLinkHelper.extract_id("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ")
This will return a tuple containing the video type and the ID of the video, for example:
{:youtube, "dQw4w9WgXcQ"}
A video can be embedded on a page in one of two ways:
- Using the function component:
import VideoLinkHelper.VideoComponent
~H"""
<.video id="dQw4w9WgXcQ" video_type="youtube" width="560" height="315" />
"""
- Using the raw HTML function:
raw(VideoLinkHelper.render_embed("dQw4w9WgXcQ", width: 560, height: 315))
