Embed a YouTube player with a simple directive

Angular YouTube

Embed a YouTube player with a simple directive.

Can I use it?

Sure! Let me show you.

<!-- Include the file -->
<script src="angular-youtube-player-api.js"></script>

// Create your app with 'youtube' dependency
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['youtube']);

// Inside your controller...
myApp.controller('MyCtrl', function ($scope) {
  // have a video id
  $scope.theBestVideo = 'sMKoNBRZM1M';
});

<!-- Use 'youtube-player' as an element or attribute. -->
<!-- Must have an ID -->
<youtube-player id="best-vid" video-id="theBestVideo"></youtube-player>

It's that simple. See it in action.

Is that it?

Not quite!

Events and Player Controls

• youtube.player.ready
• youtube.player.ended
• youtube.player.playing
• youtube.player.paused
• youtube.player.buffering
• youtube.player.queued

Events allow you to keep an eye on the state of things from your controller. For example, let's say you want to automatically play the best video.

// Inject '$youtube' dependency
myApp.controller('MyCtrl', function ($scope, $youtube) {
  $scope.theBestVideo = 'sMKoNBRZM1M';

  $scope.$on('youtube.player.ready', function () {
    $youtube.player.playVideo();
  });
});
