vue-vimeo-player

Vue wrapper for Vimeo Embed Player.

Embed a Vimeo player as a Vue 3 component with ease, even with Nuxt.js SSR.

Installation

Using npm:

npm install vue-vimeo-player@next --save
Bash

of load it via CDN

<script src="//unpkg.com/vue-vimeo-player@next"></script>
HTML

Getting Started

You can either import it in your whole project

import vueVimeoPlayer from 'vue-vimeo-player'
import Vue from 'vue'
 
const app = Vue.createApp(App)

app.use(vueVimeoPlayer)
Js

or import it locally in a component

  import { vueVimeoPlayer } from 'vue-vimeo-player'
  
  export default {
  	data: {},
  	components: { vueVimeoPlayer }
  }
Js

Usage without module bundler

Just include the script from the CDN and attach it to your app instance

<script src="//unpkg.com/vue@2.4"></script>
<script src="//unpkg.com/vue-vimeo-player"></script>
<!-- .... -->
<vimeo-player :video-id='videoId'></vimeo-player>
<script>
const app = Vue.createApp(App)
app.use(VueVimeoPlayer.default)
app.mount(...)
</script>
HTML

Usage with Nuxt.js

As we know Nuxt.js allows the really cool advantage of Server Side Rendering, but this means there is no window variable.
To fix this, we need to tell Nuxt.js to skip rendering our component on the server and render it just on the Browser.

We need to create a file inside the plugins directory called vimeo-player.js or what ever you see fit.

// plugins/vimeo-player.js
import Vue from 'vue'
import vueVimeoPlayer from 'vue-vimeo-player'

const app = Vue.createApp(App)
app.use(vueVimeoPlayer)
Js

Now we need to tell Nuxt to load our plugin inside nuxt.config.js

// ....
plugins: [
    { src: `~plugins/vimeo-player` }
],
build: {
    vendor: [
      'vue-vimeo-player'
    ],
}
// ....
Js

Now we have to use the client-only component to wrap the vue-vimeo component in the template.

<client-only>
  <vimeo-player ref="player" :video-id="videoID"/>
</client-only>
HTML
