Basic Usage

You need to use plugins or presets to do anything. By default embed-js does nothing.

Let's assume that the HTML structure is as written below

<div id="element">
   <!--===== your string here =======-->
</div>

Creating an instance of embed.js

import EmbedJS from 'embed-js'
import url from 'embed-plugin-url'
import emoji from 'embed-plugin-emoji'
 
const x = new EmbedJS({
  input: document.getElementById('element'),
  plugins: [
    url(),
    emoji()
  ]
})

Next step is replacing the original text with the processed text.

//Render the result
x.render();

There may be cases where you just want the processed string to use it according to your need. You can get it by the following method. This can be used on the server side to get the string. Still if the plugin involves interactions, you will have to load it on the client side.

//Get the resulting string
x.text().then(({ result }) => {
  console.log(result); //The resulting string
})

If you wan't to destroy the instance. It will also replace the processed string with the original string.

//Destroy the instance
x.destroy()

Options

option	default	Description
plugins	[]	Accepts an array of plugins.
preset	null	Accepts a preset. Currently accpets only one preset. It can be combined with plugins.
inlineEmbed	true	If case you want to to embed contents at the end of texts, turn this to false.
replaceText	false	Useful when inlineEmbed is set to true. Replace text with the embed.
fetch	window.fetch || window.unfetch	If you are willing to use the library on both server and client side you need to pass an isomorphic fetch library like isomorphic-unfetch or isomorphic-fetch. This is only needed if you are using a plugin that has to make a HTTP request.
