lazy-load-youtube v1.0.7

Lazy-load YouTube Iframe

JavaScript library for lazy loading YouTube videos

Demo

Working with the library

Place html markup in your project:

<div class="video__wrap">
    <div class="video__item js-video-item" data-video-link="https://youtu.be/Kt-tLuszKBA">
        <button class="video__play js-video-play"></button>
    </div>
</div>

In the attribute data-video-link, you need to insert a link to the YouTube video or specify an id Example:

 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_plhk1FUQA&t=8278s  <-link video
 - https://youtu.be/Y_plhk1FUQA  <-link video
 - Y_plhk1FUQA  <-id video

If necessary, you can also insert your own "placeholder" for the video:

<div class="video__item js-video-item" data-video-link="..." 
    style="background-image: url (img/intro.png);">

You can also add a caption to a video by adding a tag with avideo__caption class and a js-video-caption :

<div class="video__item js-video-item" data-video-link="...">
    <span class="video__caption js-video-caption">Your text</span>
    <button class="video__play js-video-play"></button>
</div>
