Video Fieldtype

Extract embed URLs from Youtube, Vimeo, and HTML5 compatible video links and preview them right inline. Feel free watch the whole thing instead of working – we won't tell.

Usage#

Enter a video URL and it will be loaded in an embedded player directly beneath the field so you can preview it.

You may enter:

  • YouTube URLs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9F5fhJQo34
  • Vimeo URLs: https://vimeo.com/22439234
  • mp4, ogv, mov, or webm URLs: http://example.com/video.mp4

Data Structure#

The Video field will save the URL of the video you've entered. If you paste embed code into the field, it will extract the proper URL for you.

video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9F5fhJQo34

Templating#

You can use the is_embeddable and
embed_url modifiers to display your video player.

{{ if video | is_embeddable }}

    <!-- Youtube and Vimeo -->

    <iframe src="{{ video | embed_url }}" ...></iframe>

{{ else }}

    <!-- Other HTML5 video types -->

    <video src="{{ video | embed_url }}" ...></video>

{{ /if }}

@if (Statamic::modify($video)->isEmbeddable()->fetch())

	<!-- Youtube and Vimeo -->

	<iframe src="{{ Statamic::modify($video)->embedUrl() }}" ...></iframe>

@else

	<!-- Other HTML5 video types -->

	<video src="{{ Statamic::modify($video)->embedUrl() }}" ...></video>

@endif
