Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install plyr-rails
Now you need to edit your app/assets/javascripts/application.css file and add the following line:
*= require plyrNow you need to edit your app/assets/javascripts/application.js file and add the following line:
//= require plyrNote: Usage code has be updated to plyr version 3. Please update your code, if you're using plyr version 2
Here is the example of working code with Jquery to test with your Rails application.
Add this sample code to your app/assets/javascripts/application.js file
Using with Javascript and turbolinks
document.addEventListener("turbolinks:load", function() {
const player = new Plyr('#player');
});Using with Jquery required and turbolinks
$(document).on("turbolinks:load", function() {
const player = new Plyr('#player');
});Add this sample code to your template file like index.html.erb
<!-- Place somewhere in the <body> of your page -->
<div id="player" data-plyr-provider="youtube" data-plyr-embed-id="bTqVqk7FSmY"></div>Plyr extends upon the standard HTML5 media elementmarkup so that's all you need for those types.
<video poster="/path/to/poster.jpg" id="player" playsinline controls>
<source src="/path/to/video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="/path/to/video.webm" type="video/webm">
<!-- Captions are optional -->
<track kind="captions" label="English captions" src="/path/to/captions.vtt" srclang="en" default>
</video><audio id="player" controls>
<source src="/path/to/audio.mp3" type="audio/mp3">
<source src="/path/to/audio.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
</audio><div class="plyr__video-embed" id="player">
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bTqVqk7FSmY?origin=https://plyr.io&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&playsinline=1&showinfo=0&rel=0&enablejsapi=1" allowfullscreen allowtransparency allow="autoplay"></iframe>
</div>Note: The plyr__video-embed classname will make the player a responsive 16:9 (most common) iframe embed. When plyr itself kicks in, your custom ratio config option will be used.
Or the <div> non progressively enhanced method:
<div id="player" data-plyr-provider="youtube" data-plyr-embed-id="bTqVqk7FSmY"></div>Note: The data-plyr-embed-id can either be the video ID or URL for the media.
Much the same as YouTube above.
<div class="plyr__video-embed" id="player">
<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/76979871?loop=false&byline=false&portrait=false&title=false&speed=true&transparent=0&gesture=media" allowfullscreen allowtransparency allow="autoplay"></iframe>
</div>Or the <div> non progressively enhanced method:
<div id="player" data-plyr-provider="vimeo" data-plyr-embed-id="76979871"></div>Read the plyr.io documentation here https://github.com/Selz/plyr
