<lite-vimeo>

A web component that displays Vimeo embeds faster. Based on Justin Ribeiro's excellent <lite-youtube>, which, in turn, is a shadow DOM version of Paul's lite-youtube-embed based on Alex Russell's <lite-vimeo> package.

This is basically a rebadge of Justin's component, but for Vimeo.

Features

• No dependencies; it's just a vanilla web component.
• It's fast yo.
• It's shadow DOM encapsulated! (supports CSS ::part)
• It's responsive 16:9
• It's accessible via keyboard and will set ARIA via the videotitle attribute
• It's locale ready; you can set the videoplay to have a properly locale based label
• Set the start attribute to start at a particular place in a video
• You can set autoload to use Intersection Observer to load the iframe when scrolled into view.
• Loads placeholder image as WebP with a Jpeg fallback

Basic Usage

<lite-vimeo videoid="364402896"></lite-vimeo>

Add Video Title

<lite-vimeo videoid="364402896" videotitle="This is a video title"></lite-vimeo>

Change "Play" for Locale

<lite-vimeo videoid="364402896" videoplay="Mirar" videotitle="Mis hijos se burlan de mi español"></lite-vimeo>

Customise Everything

Bring your own CSS to the party anc customise the web component to your liking.

<style>
  .vimeo-player {
    margin: auto;
    max-width: 1024px;
    width: 100%;
  }
</style>
<div class="vimeo-player">
  <lite-vimeo videoid="364402896"></lite-vimeo>
</div>

Using shadow DOM ::part

Because the shadow DOM exists outside of the normal page context it prevent global CSS from being applied. To overcome this you can make use of the ::part CSS pseudo-element that can traverse the shadow tree and apply styles from the global context.

.vimeo-player ::part(frame) {
  border: 2px solid red;
}

Available parts

| CSS pseudo-element | Description | | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | ::part(frame) | Targets the main player frame | | ::part(picture-frame) | Targets the <picture> element | | ::part(picture) | Targets the <img> element in <picture> | | ::part(play-button) | Targets the play button |

Set a video start time

<!-- Start at 5 min, 30 seconds -->
<lite-vimeo videoid="364402896" start="5m30s"></lite-vimeo>

Auto load with IntersectionObserver

IntersectionObserver is used to automatically load the Vimeo iframe when scrolled into view. This can reduce performance in some circumstances with multiple players on the same page.

<lite-vimeo videoid="364402896" autoload></lite-vimeo>

Auto Play (requires auto load)

When allowed by the browser the player will automatically start the vido upon it coming into view.

<lite-vimeo videoid="364402896" autoload autoplay></lite-vimeo>

Attributes

The web component allows certain attributes to be give a little additional flexibility.

| Name | Description | Default | | ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | | videoid | The Vimeo videoid | `` | | videotitle | The title of the video | Video | | videoplay | The title of the play button (for translation) | Play | | autoload | Use Intersection Observer to load iframe when scrolled into view | false | | autoplay | Video attempts to play automatically if auto-load set and browser allows it | false | | start | Set the point at which the video should start, in seconds | 0 |
