Olly.js makes it simple to turn your URLs into rich media. Use it to embed things like YouTube, Vimeo, or videos from a variety of other services automatically.

Core Java Script Video_Audio Web

Documentation

Olly.js (1.0)

A JavaScript library to convert URLs into embedable HTML.

Example

Live Demo

Usage

Instal with bower or download dist/olly.js

bower install Olly.js 

After being included with a <script> tag, Olly exposes the olly object (weird, right?). This object has one important method olly.embed The .embed method takes, at a minimum, a URL from a supported service and a DOM element. The method then fills the provided element with the rich media from the provided URL. For example, a link to a Youtube video will fill the provided element with an embedded Youtube player for the video:

olly.embed("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-8QAFqAAJ8", document.getElementById("youtube"));

This will fill #youtube with the following markup.

<embed width="420" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/x-8QAFqAAJ8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">

These methods can both take an optional services argument which allows you to specify which types of URLs should be embedded. For example, if we only want Youtube videos to be embedded, we can do this:

olly.embed("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-8QAFqAAJ8", document.getElementById("blog-post"), {youtube: olly.EMBED});
