A [custom element](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Web_Components/Using_custom_elements)
for the YouTube player with an API that matches the
[`<video>`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/video) API.
- 🏄♂️ Compatible [`HTMLMediaElement`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLMediaElement) API
- 🕺 Seamlessly integrates with [Media Chrome](https://github.com/muxinc/media-chrome)
## Example
```html
<script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/youtube-video-element@1"></script>
<youtube-video controls src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rubNgGj3pYo"></youtube-video>
```
## Installing
`<youtube-video>` is packaged as a javascript module (es6) only, which is supported by all evergreen browsers and Node v12+.
### Loading into your HTML using `<script>`
Note the `type="module"`, that's important.
> Modules are always loaded asynchronously by the browser, so it's ok to load them in the head :thumbsup:, and best for registering web components quickly.
```html
<head>
<script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/youtube-video-element@1"></script>
</head>
```
### Adding to your app via `npm`
```bash
npm install youtube-video-element --save
```
Or yarn
```bash
yarn add youtube-video-element
```
Include in your app javascript (e.g. src/App.js)
```js
import 'youtube-video-element';
```
This will register the custom elements with the browser so they can be used as HTML.
