Rails assets gem for the amazing jquery-oembed-all plugin.
oEmbed is a format for allowing an embedded representation of a URL on third party sites. The simple API allows a website to display embedded content (such as photos or videos) when a user posts a link to that resource, without having to parse the resource directly.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'jquery-oembed-rails'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install jquery-oembed-rails
Add this line to application.js
//= require jquery.oembed
Also Add this line for application.css
*= require jquery.oembed
Then add this to you javascript file.
$(function(){
$("a.embed").oembed();
});
Add class="embed" to anchor tag which contains the URL you wish to embed.
Ex: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mwKq7_JlS8" class="embed"></a>
or use link_to helper method <%= link_to link.url, link.url, class: 'embed' %>
