Has Vimeo Video

Validate a Vimeo URL attribute in Active Record, and retrieve access to the video's data through Vimeo API.

This repo has been transfered to engageis

The oficial repo is now https://github.com/engageis/has_vimeo_video please update your local repositories.

Installation

Add to your Gemfile and run the bundle command to install it.

gem "has_vimeo_video"

Requires Ruby 1.9.2 or later, and Rails 3.0.0 or later.

Usage

Call has_vimeo_video in an ActiveRecord class and pass the name of the attribute that will contain the URL for the video on Vimeo, e.g. http://vimeo.com/1234567890.

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_vimeo_video :video_url
end

This will automatically validate the format of the URL to match Vimeo's, and will add a vimeo object to your model, which will contain the following methods:

• info will give you access to a hash with the parsed response from Vimeo API

• id will parse the id of the video from the URL (no API requests here)

• embed_url will return a URL ready for embedding your video (no API requests as well)

• thumbnail will return the URL for the large thumbnail from Vimeo API (the same as info['thumbnail_large'])
