Im new in all this amazing thing called front end and i´m already working in a project but i need a little help with this:
So the thing is that the user could enter a youtube URL in a text box and a embed iframe video is automatically generated from it so he can preview it without reloading the page
How could i do that?
a have found 2 separated scripts that could help but i can´t make them work at the same time:
Extract YouTube video ID from URL:
[http://codepen.io/catmull/pen/cnpsK][1]
YouTube Embed Optimized with JavaScript:
[http://codepen.io/SitePoint/pen/CKFuh][1]
Any ideas? It will really help me if you answer with a live example :)
if you have youtube url https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGbxmsDFVnE, you can embed it by taking the video id off the end and putting at the end of youtube.com/embed/
you can get the video id using string.split()
var url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGbxmsDFVnE";
var id = url.split("?v=")[1]; //sGbxmsDFVnE
var embedlink = "http://www.youtube.com/embed/" + id; //www.youtube.com/embed/sGbxmsDFVnE
then just make that embed link the source to an existing iframe on the page
document.getElementById("myIframe").src = embedLink;
example of an iframe
<iframe id="myIframe" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
