Using the components

.astro files

To use components in your .astro files, first import them in the component script.

---
// src/components/Example.astro
import { Tweet, Vimeo, YouTube } from 'astro-embed';
---

<Tweet id="https://twitter.com/astrodotbuild/status/1512144306898976768" />

<Vimeo id="https://vimeo.com/32001208" />

<YouTube id="https://youtu.be/xtTy5nKay_Y" />

MDX pages

You can also import an embed component for use in MDX pages when using the Astro MDX integration.

---
# src/content/examples/page.mdx
title: My MDX page with embed components
---

import { Tweet, Vimeo, YouTube } from 'astro-embeds';

Hey look! I can embed a tweet _in Markdown_!

<Tweet id="https://twitter.com/astrodotbuild/status/1512144306898976768" />

Vimeo and YouTube videos work too :-)

Using the integration

You can use the provided integration to automatically convert standalone URLs in MDX files to embed components.

To enable the integration, add it to the integrations array in your astro.config.mjs file before the mdx() integration:

import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import mdx from '@astrojs/mdx';
import embeds from 'astro-embed/integration';

export default defineConfig({
  integrations: [embeds(), mdx()],
});

With the integration enabled, any isolated URL in an MDX file that matches one of the astro-embed component types will be converted to the appropriate component.

For example, MDX like this will render an optimised YouTube player component in place of the URL.

I saw this cool video the other day:
