Props

Vue.component 'embed', Embed

Why use vue-embed?

vue-embed solves the problem of script tags not executing on client-rendered pages. Often these same script tags execute normally when the page is loaded via SSG. A common scenario for this is a CMS with an Embed Block that renders script tags to the front end, such as embedded videos or publisher tags.

How does vue-embed work?

• On SSG and SSR, vue-embed renders the provided HTML code with the script tags removed.
• On mounted, vue-embed finds all script tags with external URLs and appends them to the document head with async="true"
• On mounted, vue-embed finds all script tags with inline code and executes them using eval().
