YoutubeEmbed

Embed youtube videos in on site saving URL and get relevant output in view

1. Simple Embed

2. Embed with title, description & thumbnail

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install youtube_embed

And add CSS and JS

CSS in application.css

*= require youtube_embed

JS in application.js

//= require youtube_embed

It can be used in model where we can specify simple iframe embed or embedding with thumbnail & description

Simple:

youtube_embed :field_name, {:with_description => false, :width => 450, :height => 300}

With Thumbnail & Description:

youtube_embed :field_name, {:with_description => true, :width => 450, :height => 300}

This will modify the youtube link into html required to embed, If you don't want to modify html or simple change the view you can call method in view like this:

<?=  YoutubeEmbed::youtube_embed(attr_here) ?>
