NAME

LinkEmbedder - Embed / expand oEmbed resources and other URL / links

SYNOPSIS

use LinkEmbedder;

my $embedder = LinkEmbedder->new(force_secure => 1);

# In some cases, you have to set a proper user_agent to get complete
# pages. This is done automatically by $embedder->serve()
$embedder->ua->transactor->name("Mozilla...");

$embedder->get_p("https://xkcd.com/927")->then(sub {
  my $link = shift;
  print $link->html;
})->wait;

DESCRIPTION

LinkEmbedder is a module that can expand an URL into a rich HTML snippet or simply to extract information about the URL.

This module replaces Mojolicious::Plugin::LinkEmbedder.

Go to https://thorsen.pm/linkembedder to see a demo of how it works.

These web pages are currently supported:

ATTRIBUTES

force_secure

$bool = $self->force_secure;
$self = $self->force_secure(1);

This attribute will translate any unknown http link to https.

This attribute is EXPERIMENTAL. Feeback appreciated.

ua

$ua = $self->ua;

Holds a Mojo::UserAgent object.

$hash_ref = $self->url_to_link;

Holds a mapping between host names and link class to use.

METHODS

get

$self = $self->get_p($url, sub { my ($self, $link) = @_ });

Same as "get_p", but takes a callback instead of returning a Mojo::Promise.

get_p

$promise = $self->get_p($url)->then(sub { my $link = shift });

Used to construct a new LinkEmbedder::Link object and retrieve information about the URL.

serve

$self = $self->serve(Mojolicious::Controller->new, $url);

Used as a helper for Mojolicious web applications to reply to an oEmbed request. Will also set "name" in Mojo::UserAgent::Transactor for "ua" if the incoming request contains a "User-Agent" header.

Note that in Mojolicious 9.11 and later, you must define the format for your route to serve with extension .html, .json or .jsonp.
