Example

<template>
  <section class="section">
    <v-embed :options="options">
      Cur rumor nocere ? :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:
      Emeritis adelphis satis perderes domina est.Gloss cadunt in bi-color
      brema!
    </v-embed>
  </section>
</template>

<script>
import VEmbed from vue-embed';

export default {
  name: 'Hello',

  components: {
    VEmbed,
  },

  data: () => ({
    options: {
      plugins: [{ name: 'emoji' }],
    },
  }),
};
</script>

Options

| option | default | Description | | --------------- | ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | plugins | [] | Accepts an array of plugins. See below | | preset | null | Accepts a preset. Currently accpets only one preset. It can be combined with plugins. | | inlineEmbed | true | If case you want to to embed contents at the end of texts, turn this to false. | | replaceUrl | false | Useful when inlineEmbed is set to true. Replace text with the embed. | | fetch | window.fetch or window.unfetch | If you are willing to use the library on both server and client side you need to pass an isomorphic fetch library like isomorphic-unfetch or isomorphic-fetch. This is only needed if you are using a plugin that has to make a HTTP request. |

Plugins

url

A plugin that can be used to parse urls into anchor tags.

<script>
import VEmbed from vue-embed';

export default {
  name: 'Hello',

  components: {
    VEmbed,
  },

  data: () => ({
    options: {
      plugins: [
        {
          name: 'url',
          options: {
            attributes: {}, // a hash of attributes to be added in the url
            escape: false   // whether on not to escape special characters in url
          }
        }],
    },
  }),
};
</script>

Note : Avoid using escape: true when using with the highlight plugin.

emoji

A plugin that can be used to convert :emoji_name: to actual emojis.

It supports all the emojis supported by emoji.css. If you are using this plugin, you need to load

<script>
import VEmbed from vue-embed';

export default {
  name: 'Hello',

  components: {
    VEmbed,
  },

  data: () => ({
    options: {
      plugins: [
        {
          name: 'emoji',
          options: {
            regex: /emojiRegex/gi, // in case you want to define a custom regex
            template(emojiName) {
              // optional template
            }
          }
        }],
    },
  }),
};
</script>

Known issue : It doesn't check if a particular name is a valid emoji name. So if you use a test like :not_valid_emoji_name:, it will still convert it to a span element with that class name.

You also need to import the embed css file :

<link
  href="https://unpkg.com/emoji.css/dist/emoji.min.css"
  media="all"
  rel="stylesheet"
/>

Media

A plugin that can be used to embed video, audio or image those are supported by the browser.

<script>
import VEmbed from vue-embed';

export default {
  name: 'Hello',

  components: {
    VEmbed,
  },

  data: () => ({
    options: {
      plugins: [
        {
          name: 'media',
          options: {
            regex: /regex/gi, // in case you want to define a custom regex
            template(args) {
              // optional template
            },
            onLoad(element) {} // in case you want to do something when the component has loaded on the client.
          }
        }],
    },
  }),
};
</script>

Highlight

A plugin that can be used to syntax highlight code.

You need Prism.js to use this plugins. So import the necessary libraries to support it.

<!-- import the theme of your choice -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/prism/1.6.0/themes/prism-dark.css" />

<!-- import the umd build of prism.js -->
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/prism/1.6.0/prism.min.js">

Note : On the server, the plugin automatically imports prism.js from node_modules. But it doesn't bundle the PrismJS library with the umd build to keep the size to minimal. Technically prismjs = isServer ? require('prismjs') : window.Prism.

<script>
import VEmbed from vue-embed';

export default {
  name: 'Hello',

  components: {
    VEmbed,
  },

  data: () => ({
    options: {
      plugins: [
        {
          name: 'highlight',
          options: {
            regex: /(`{3})(\s|[a-z]+)\s*([\s\S]*?[^`])\s*\1(?!`)/gm, // in case you want to define a custom regex
            prismjs: prismjs, // By default it takes window.Prism on client side and global.Prism on server side.
            template(args) {
              // optional template
            },
            onLoad(element) {} // in case you want to do something when the component has loaded on the client.
          }
        }],
    },
  }),
};
</script>

Github

A plugin that can be used to embed GitHub repo description.

<script>
import VEmbed from vue-embed';

export default {
  name: 'Hello',

  components: {
    VEmbed,
  },

  data: () => ({
    options: {
      plugins: [
        {
          name: 'github',
          options: {
            regex: /githubRepoRegex/gi, // in case you want to define a custom regex
            template(args) {
              // optional template
            }
          }

            // If set to false, it doesn't make API calls to Youtube for video details. Instead it just embeds the video.
            details: true,

            // This is a mandatory field.
            gAuthKey: ''

            // height of video iframe
            height: 300,

Twitter

A plugin that can be used to embed tweets.

Embeds Tweets in the website. You need to load https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js in advance to get this working.

<script>
import VEmbed from vue-embed';

export default {
  name: 'Hello',

  components: {
    VEmbed,
  },

  data: () => ({
    options: {
      plugins: [
        {
          name: 'twitter',
          options: {
            // Regex that matches the string and sends to the template method.
            regex: /https:\/\/twitter\.com\/\w+\/\w+\/\d+/gi,

            // The maximum width of a rendered Tweet in whole pixels.
            // This value must be between 220 and 550 inclusive. A supplied
            // value under or over the allowed range will be returned as the
            // minimum or maximum supported width respectively; the reset width
            // value will be reflected in the returned width property. Note that
            // Twitter does not support the oEmbed maxheight parameter. Tweets
            // are fundamentally text, and are therefore of unpredictable height
            // that cannot be scaled like an image or video. Relatedly, the
            // oEmbed response will not provide a value for height. Implementations
            // that need consistent heights for Tweets should refer to the hide_thread
            // and hide_media parameters below.
            maxWidth: 550,

            // When set to true , t, or 1 links in a Tweet are not expanded to photo,
            // video, or link previews
            hideMedia: false,

            // When set to true , t, or 1 a collapsed version of the previous Tweet
            // in a conversation thread will not be displayed when the requested Tweet
            // is in reply to another Tweet
            hideThread: false,

            // Specifies whether the embedded Tweet should be floated left,
            // right, or center in the page relative to the parent element.
            // Valid values are left, right, center, and none
            align: "none",

            // Request returned HTML and a rendered Tweet in the specified Twitter
            // language supported by embedded Tweets. https://dev.twitter.com/web/overview/languages
            lang: "en",

            // When set to dark, the Tweet is displayed with light text over a dark background
            theme: "light",

            // Adjust the color of Tweet text links with a hexadecimal color value
            linkColor: "#355acee",

            // Set to video to return a Twitter Video embed for the given Tweet
            widgetType: "",

            /**
            * It accepts the matching url and returns the html
            * content that replaces or appends to the URL based
            * on options. This can return a asynchronous response.
            */
            template(args, options, pluginOptions, { html }) {
              return html
            },

            // The twitter object loaded from widgets.js. By default it takes twttr
            // from window object.
            twttr: isBrowser ? window.twttr : null,

            // executed when the tweet has been loaded
            // and rendered on the client side
            onLoad() {}
          }
        }],
    },
  }),
};
</script>
