Ooyala::Rails
Integrates Ooyala with Rails
Installation
Add the following to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'ooyala-rails'
source 'https://rails-assets.org' do
gem 'rails-assets-jquery-ooyala'
end
And then execute:
$ bundle
Configure an initialiser like so:
# config/initializers/ooyala.rb
Ooyala::Rails.configure do |c|
c.api_key = 'API_KEY_GOES_HERE' # required
c.secret_key = 'SECRET_KEY_GOES_HERE' # required
c.player_id = 'PLAYER_ID_GOES_HERE' # optional (see below)
c.player_options = {autoplay: false} # optional
end
Ideally, use ENV variables instead of storing your credentials in version control.
Usage
There are two modes of use:
1. Standard
- Render the JS:
<!-- using configured player_id -->
<%= ooyala_js %>
<!-- specifying player_id -->
<%= ooyala_js player_id: 'PLAYER_ID_GOES_HERE' %>
- Render the player(s):
<!-- using configured player_id and default player options -->
<%= ooyala_player 'your_embed_code' %>
<!-- specifying player_id and player options -->
<%= ooyala_player 'your_embed_code', player_id: 'PLAYER_ID_GOES_HERE', options: {autoplay: true} %>
2. Using jQuery
- Add the jquery-ooyala library to
application.js
:
//= require jquery-ooyala
- Render the players using the same arguments as with standard but using a different method:
<!-- using configured player_id and default player options -->
<%= jquery_ooyala_player 'your_embed_code' %>
<!-- specifying player_id and player options -->
<%= jquery_ooyala_player 'your_embed_code', player_id: 'PLAYER_ID_GOES_HERE', options: {autoplay: true} %>
See jquery-ooyala documentation more functionality.
CSS
The generated container <div>
will require some basic CSS, eg:
.oo-player { width:480px; height:360px; }
