object-fit-videos

An open-source polyfill for CSS object-fit and object-position on videos. Supports IE9-11, Edge, and Safari <10 (and more?). Does nothing on browsers that support these properties.

Installation

$ npm install --save object-fit-videos

Or yarn!

$ yarn add object-fit-videos

Usage

Include the polyfill in your markup

<script src="path/to/object-fit-videos/dist/object-fit-videos.min.js"></script>

Add a special font-family CSS property for targeting IE/Edge or Safari

video {
  object-fit: cover;
  font-family: 'object-fit: cover;';
}

object-position can be used similarly. Note that object-position only supports keyword positioning at this time. That's top, bottom, left, right, and center

video {
  object-fit: cover;
  object-position: left top;
  font-family: 'object-fit: cover; object-position: left top;';
}

Make the JavaScript call to initialize the videos with the special CSS property

objectFitVideos();

You can make the call before the closing </body> tag or whenever the DOM is ready. The polyfill will do the rest.

Polyfilling Specific Elements

You can also pass elements to the objectFitVideos() function to only polyfill specific videos. A couple examples:

objectFitVideos(document.querySelectorAll('.videos'));

objectFitVideos(document.getElementById('vid'));

So on and so forth.
