<youtube-video>

NPM Version NPM Downloads jsDelivr hits (npm) npm bundle size

A custom element for the YouTube player with an API that matches the <video> API.

Example

<script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/youtube-video-element@1"></script>
<youtube-video controls src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rubNgGj3pYo"></youtube-video>

Installing

<youtube-video> is packaged as a javascript module (es6) only, which is supported by all evergreen browsers and Node v12+.

Loading into your HTML using <script>

Note the type="module", that's important.

Modules are always loaded asynchronously by the browser, so it's ok to load them in the head 👍, and best for registering web components quickly.

<head>
  <script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/youtube-video-element@1"></script>
</head>

Adding to your app via npm

npm install youtube-video-element --save

Or yarn

yarn add youtube-video-element

Include in your app javascript (e.g. src/App.js)

import 'youtube-video-element';

This will register the custom elements with the browser so they can be used as HTML.
