Embed Fieldtype

Fieldtype for embedding and previewing external content.

Features

• Augment URLs with embed data: iframe, thumbnail, title, description
• Live preview of embedded content in the control panel
• Powered by the Embed library and extensible with custom adapters
• Supports any provider with oEmbed endpoint or Open Graph meta tags

Vs. the Built-In Video Fieldtype

If you need to embed videos from YouTube and Vimeo, you should probably stick with Statamic's built-in video fieldtype. It comes with less complexity as it doesn't need to fetch the metadata or embed codes.

The fieldtype of this addon becomes useful if you need:

• Other providers and content types like audio players, social media posts, etc
• Ready-to-render html for embedding the content in an iframe
• Additional metadata like title, description, thumbnail, etc

Installation

Install the addon via Composer:

composer require daun/statamic-embed-fieldtype

Fieldtype

The addon ships with an embed fieldtype that accepts a url and shows a preview in the editor.

fields:
  -
    handle: embed
    field:
      type: embed
      display: Embed

Frontend

The fieldtype augments the url to an array of embed data. The following example will render a simple embed card with either an iframe (if available) or a preview image.

{{ if embed:url }}
  <article class="border rounded-lg overflow-hidden">
    {{ if embed:code }}
      <div
        class="relative aspect-(--embed-ratio) overflow-hidden [&_iframe]:w-full [&_iframe]:h-full [&_iframe]:border-0"
        style="--embed-ratio: {{ embed:code:ratio }}"
      >
        {{ embed:code:html }}
      </div>
    {{ elseif embed:image }}
      <img
        src="{{ embed:image:url }}"
        class="w-full h-auto"
      />
    {{ /if }}
    {{ if embed:title }}
      <div class="p-4">
        <p class="line-clamp-1 font-semibold">
            <a href="{{ embed:url }}">{{ embed:title }}</a>
        </p>
        {{ if embed:description || embed:author:name }}
          <p class="line-clamp-1">{{ embed:description ?? embed:author:name }}</p>
        {{ /if }}
        {{ if embed:provider:url }}
          <p class="text-gray-500">{{ embed:provider:url | replace('https://', '') }}</p>
        {{ /if }}
      </div>
    {{ /if }}
  </article>
{{ /if }}

Unaugmented URL

If you want to use the raw url without augmentation, you can access it via embed:url. To turn off augmentation completely, you can set the field config augment_to_embed_data to false. This will return the url as-is in all frontend contexts.

fields:
  -
    handle: embed
    field:
      type: embed
      display: Embed
+     augment_to_embed_data: false

Extending the Embed Library

The addon uses the Embed library under the hood, which supports a variety of providers out of the box: YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, Flickr, etc. You can customize the library instance and settings and also create custom adapters for unsupported providers by registering a resolving callback in your service provider. See Extending Embed for details and examples.

namespace App\Providers;
 
use Embed\Embed;
 
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function register()
    {
        $this->app->afterResolving(Embed::class, function (Embed $embed) {
            $embed->getExtractorFactory()->addAdapter('mysite.com', MySite::class);
            $embed->setSettings([
                'instagram:token' => '12345678',
                'twitter:token' => 'abcdefgh',
            ]);
        });
    }
}
