eleventy-plugin-embed-ted

\

This Eleventy plugin automatically embeds TED.com videos from URLs in markdown files. It’s part of the eleventy-plugin-embed-everything project.

Install in Eleventy

In your Eleventy project, install the plugin through npm:

``sh
$ npm i eleventy-plugin-embed-ted
`

Then add it to your Eleventy config file (usually .eleventy.js):

`javascript
const embedTed = require("eleventy-plugin-embed-ted");

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

Usage

To embed a TED.com video into any markdown page, paste its URL into a new line. The URL should be the only thing on that line.

Settings

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

`javascript
eleventyConfig.addPlugin(embedTed, {
// just an example, see default values below:
embedClass: 'custom-classname'
});
`

The plugin’s default settings reside in lib/defaults.js. All of these values can be customized with an options object passed to the plugin.

Option | Type | Default | Notes
---|---|---|---
allowFullscreen | Boolean | true | Set to false to prevent the embedded video from being viewed in fullscreen mode.
containerCss | String | "position:relative;width:100%;padding-top: 56.25%;" | CSS applied to the container
