Since this version is a complete rewrite of the library, there is a significant change in the API.

Here is a quick demo.

By default embed-js does nothing. You will need to use plugins to use any functionality.

The current built-in plugins include :

  • Facebook
  • GitHub
  • Instagram
  • Code syntax highlighting
  • Emoji
  • Url - converts URLs to anchor tags.
  • noEmbed
  • Google Maps
  • Media (Audio, Video and Image)
  • Twitter

Its still early days for this version. Give it a try and let me know if you face any issues or want a new feature on GitHub or Twitter.
