NO LONGER MAINTAINED - LOOKING FOR MAINTAINER

netlify-cms-widget-youtube

Check out a demo!

Based on https://github.com/hennessyevan/netlify-cms-widget-youtube

Looking for suggestions for additional functionality. PRs are Welcome!

Install

As an npm package:

npm install --save netlify-cms-widget-youtube-expanded

import youtube from "netlify-cms-widget-youtube-expanded";

CMS.registerWidget("youtube", youtubeControl, youtubePreview);

Via script tag:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/netlify-cms-widget-youtube@^0.3.0"></script>

<script>
  CMS.registerWidget('youtube', youtubeControl, youtubePreview)
</script>

How to use

Add to your Netlify CMS configuration:

    fields:
      - { name: <fieldname>, label: <fieldlabel>, widget: youtube, extraInfo: false, APIkey: "<KEY>" }

Enabling extraInfo will return an object in frontmatter

<fieldname>:
	url: String
	id: String
	mediaType: String
	imageURL: String

If you provide an API KEY in the configuration you will get additional information in the Control (as seen in the screenshot above). You can use this API key here to test but it's better you get your own to make sure it always works!

FAQ

Q: My control doesn't show the title or description

You need to add an API Key to the widget settings. Learn about getting an API Key here

Q: How can I get and image url in my output

You need to add extraInfo: true to your Netlify CMS configuration (usually config.yml)

Roadmap

• Youtube Image in Preview
• Extended Details in Control from Youtube Data API
• Optional YAML object output
• Youtube Search function
• Couple with a Youtube "Editor Widget"
