# jekyll-oembed

oEmbed plugin for jekyll that creates an `oembed` liquid tag

## Installation

### With bundler
Within your project's `Gemfile`, add the following within the `:jekyll_plugins` group:

```ruby
# Gemfile
group :jekyll_plugins do
gem 'jekyll_oembed'
end
```

### Standalone

Add [the code](lib/jekyll_oembed.rb) directly to your `_plugins` directory
Create the following plugin in your projects _plugins directory.

If you do this, you will also need to add [`ruby-oembed`](https://github.com/ruby-oembed/ruby-oembed) to your `Gemfile`

```ruby
# Gemfile
gem "ruby-oembed"
```

## Usage

To use an oembed, simply do the following. Pass the embedded url as plain text, not wrapped in quotes like a string.

```liquid
# Correct
{% oembed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPUaUgjbbsA %}

# Incorrect
{% oembed "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPUaUgjbbsA" %}
```

`jekyll_oembed` does not support customizing width, height, or adding any attributes directly to the embedded HTML.

## Limitations

Protected URLs: some URLs are private. If this is the case, oembed _may_ not function properly

## Attribution

Thank you to:

- @stereobooster for creating a [different version](https://github.com/stereobooster/jekyll_oembed) of the gem

This will automatically require all of the gems specified in your Gemfile.
