Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

eleventy-plugin-embed-soundcloud

NPM Version Build test status
MIT License Contributor Covenant

This Eleventy plugin automatically embeds responsive SoundCloud players from URLs in Markdown files.


⚡️ Installation

In your Eleventy project, install the plugin through npm:

$ npm i eleventy-plugin-embed-soundcloud

Then add it to your Eleventy config file:

const embedSoundCloud = require("eleventy-plugin-embed-soundcloud");

module.exports = function(eleventyConfig) {
  eleventyConfig.addPlugin(embedSoundCloud);
};

🛠 Usage

To embed a SoundCloud player into any Markdown page, paste its URL into a new line. The URL should be the only thing on that line.

Markdown file example:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam vehicula, elit vel condimentum porta, purus.

https://soundcloud.com/megan-thee-stallion/sets/suga

Maecenas non velit nibh. Aenean eu justo et odio commodo ornare. In scelerisque sapien at.

Result:

Screnshot of Megan Thee Stallion album “Suga” on SoundCloud

⚙️ Settings

You can configure the plugin to change its behavior by passing an options object to the addPlugin function:

eleventyConfig.addPlugin(embedSoundCloud, {
  // edit options here
});

Plugin default options

Edit any of the default values to change the plugin’s behavior. These are the default settings, which will apply to all embed instances. Currently there’s no way to configure individual embeds.

{
  auto_play: false, // @Boolean: be cool, don’t do this!
  color: '#ff7700', // @String: hex code to control the color scheme
  embedClass: 'eleventy-plugin-embed-soundcloud', // @String: class name of wrapper div
  height: 400, // @Int/@String: height of the embedded iframe.
  // ☝️ Use Integer for pixels; Use String for percent value
  sharing: true, // @Boolean: show sharing button
  show_artwork: true, // @Boolean: show the track/playlist cover art
  show_comments: true, // @Boolean: show listener comments
  show_playcount: true, // @Boolean: show total number of plays
  show_reposts: false, // @Boolean: show total number of reposts
  show_user: true, // @Boolean: show the uploading user’s name above the track/set name
  small: false, // @Boolean: Convenience setting: Use smaller waveform embed style
  // ☝️ small: true overrides `visual` to `false` and `height` to `166`.
  single_active: true, // @Boolean: only one player active on a page at a time. 
  // ☝️ single_active behavior seems buggy right now, your mileage may vary
  visual: true, // @Boolean: Default SoundCloud player style shows a huge cover image.
  width: '100%' // @Int/@String: width of the embedded iframe
  // ☝️ Use Integer for pixels; Use String for percent value
}

Supported URL patterns

The plugin supports common SoundCloud URL types:

<!-- User profile  URL embeds a playlist of the most recent uploaded tracks -->
https://soundcloud.com/megan-thee-stallion

<!-- Albums and Playlists are both “sets” on SoundCloud -->
https://soundcloud.com/megan-thee-stallion/sets/suga

<!-- Individual tracks -->
https://soundcloud.com/megan-thee-stallion/rich

<!-- URL variants also work  -->
https://www.soundcloud.com/...
http://www.soundcloud.com/...
http://soundcloud.com/...
//soundcloud.com/...
soundcloud.com/...

If you run across a URL pattern that you think should work, but doesn’t, please file an issue!

⚠️ Notes and caveats

  • 📞 Unlike most plugins in the Embed Everything family, this one must make a network request to retrieve the relevant embed URLs. This is because SoundCloud widget iframe src URLs have no relationship to SoundCloud website URLs. I agree this is irritating, but it’s how the service works. Be aware that using this plugin will cause network requests during Eleventy’s build process. If the plugin experiences any network failure (such as if you're not connected to the internet), then it simply won’t complete the embed and the URL will be rendered as plain text.
  • SoundCloud has a bunch of embed settings that are available only to its “Pro Unlimited” accounts, such as a mini-player style. It’s pretty unlikely that this plugin will ever support SoundCloud’s paid embedding features.
  • This plugin is deliberately designed only to embed players when the URL is on its own line, and not inline with other text.
  • To do this, it uses a regular expression to recognize SoundCloud URLs. Currently these are the limitations on what it can recognize in a Markdown parser’s HTML output:
    • The URL must be wrapped in a paragraph tag: <p>
    • It may also be wrapped in an anchor tag, (inside the paragraph): <a>
    • The URL string may have whitespace around it
  • I’ve tried to accommodate common URL variants, but there are conceivably valid SoundCloud URLs that wouldn’t get recognized. Please file an issue if you run into an edge case!
  • This plugin uses transforms, so it alters Eleventy’s HTML output as it’s generated. It doesn’t alter the source Markdown.
