Turn YouTube URLs into embedded players in Datasette

Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.

datasette install datasette-youtube-embed

Usage

Once installed, any columns containing URLs that look like one of these:

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyz
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyz&start=30
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyz&start=30&end=50

Will be turned into YouTube embeds like this:

<lite-youtube videoid="xyz" params="start=30" style="min-width: 200px"></lite-youtube>

These will then be rendered using Lite YouTube Embed, which avoids loading the full YouTube embed until someone interacts with it.
