oEmbed plugin

This plugin renders oEmbed previews for the links that support them.

Update provider dimensions file

The plugin needs to know the expected dimensions of the embed representation for every provider in advance. To fetch them, there is a script in the generator folder that runs an example query per provider and saves the dimensions for the provider from the response.

To run the script, first go to the generator folder and install the node dependencies:

cd generator
npm install

and with the dependencies installed, run:

npm run generate

the script will write a provider-dimensions.json file that you can use to replace the webapp/src/provider-dimensions.json file before building the plugin.
