Detect YouTube, Vimeo & SoundCloud links and turn them into URLs for iFrames

Embed Detector

Really simple package to return a URL for an iFrame for media content. Supports SoundCloud, Vimeo & YouTube links so far.

The regex could be a lot better, still very much a WIP.

npm install embed-detector

import EmbedDetector from 'embed-detector';

let iFrameUrl = EmbedDetector.detect('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKq2nlV4DYk');
// Returns the correct URL for iFrame

let linkSource = EmbedDetector.getSourceType('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKq2nlV4DYk');
// Returns 'youtube'

let isMediaLink = EmbedDetector.qualifySource('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKq2nlV4DYk');
// Returns true

This package can also be used in the browser with a regular <script> tag.
