New Version

If you're running PHP 8+ I highly recommend using new version of the library: OEmbed.
It has more features while still working almost the same way as this one.

Embed

Generate media html (YouTube, Vimeo, Kickstarter etc.) based on the url.

Installation

Add following require to your composer.json file:

For Laravel 5:

    "cohensive/embed": "dev-master"
    // or
    "cohensive/embed": "5.5.*"

For Laravel 4:

    "cohensive/embed": "4.3.*"

Then run composer install or composer update to download it and autoload.

In providers array you need to add new package:

'providers' => array(

	//...
	'Cohensive\Embed\EmbedServiceProvider',
	//...

)

In aliases:

'aliases' => array(

	//...
	'Embed' => 'Cohensive\Embed\Facades\Embed'
	//...

)

Usage

$embed = Embed::make('http://youtu.be/uifYHNyH-jA')->parseUrl();
// Will return Embed class if provider is found. Otherwie will return false - not found. No fancy errors for now.
if ($embed) {
	// Set width of the embed.
	$embed->setAttribute(['width' => 600]);

	// Print html: '<iframe width="600" height="338" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/uifYHNyH-jA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>'.
	// Height will be set automatically based on provider width/height ratio.
	// Height could be set explicitly via setAttr() method.
	echo $embed->getHtml();
}
