# Lazyframe

[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/lazyframe.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/js/lazyframe)

Dependency-free library for lazyloading iframes. [Demo](https://vb.github.io/lazyframe/)

## Why?

Because embedded content takes time to load.

* **Youtube** – 11 requests ≈ 580kb
* **Google maps** – 52 requests ≈ 580kb
* **Vimeo** – 8 requests ≈ 145kb

Lazyframe creates a responsive placeholder for embedded content and requests it when the user interacts with it. This decreases the page load and idle time.

Lazyframe comes with brand-like themes for Youtube, Vimeo and Vine.

$ bower install lazyframe
```

### Import

JavaScript ES6 imports

```

Sass import

```sass
@import 'src/scss/lazyframe';
```

Include css in html

```

### Initialize

```js
// Passing a selector
lazyframe('.lazyframe');

// Passing a nodelist
let elements = document.querySelectorAll('.lazyframe');
lazyframe(elements);

// Passing a jQuery object
let elements = $('.lazyframe');
lazyframe(elements);
```

## Options

You can pass general options to lazyframe on initialization. Element-specific options (most options) are set on data attributes on the element itself.

General options and corresponding defaults

```js
lazyframe(elements, {
   apikey: undefined,
   debounce: 250,
   lazyload: true,

   // Callbacks
   onLoad: (lazyframe) => console.log(lazyframe),
   onAppend: (iframe) => console.log(iframe),
   onThumbnailLoad: (img) => console.log(img)
})
```

### `apikey`

If you want to load a thumbnail and title for a YouTube video you'll have to have an API key with the YouTube data API library enabled. Get it from [here](https://console.developers.google.com/)

_If you don't feel like getting a key, just use your own thumbnail and title in data-thumbnail and data-title attribute_

### `debounce`

Value (in milliseconds) for when the update function should run after the user has scrolled. [More here](https://css-tricks.com/the-difference-between-throttling-and-debouncing/)

### `lazyload`

Set this to `false` if you want all API calls and local images to be loaded on page load (instead of when the element is in view).

### `onLoad`

Callback function for when a element is initialized.

### `onAppend`

Callback function for when the iframe is appended to DOM.

### `onThumbnailLoad`

Callback function with the thumbnail URL

## Element-specific options

```html
<div
    class="lazyframe"
    data-vendor=""
    data-title=""
    data-thumbnail=""
    data-src=""
    data-ratio="1:1"
    data-initinview="false">
</div>
```

### `data-vendor`

Attribute for theming lazyframe. Currently supported values are `youtube`, `youtube_nocookie`, `vimeo` and `vine`.

### `data-title`

Attribute for custom title. Leave empty to get value from API.

### `data-thumbnail`

Attribute for custom thumbnail. Leave empty to get value from API.

### `data-src`

The source of what you want to lazyload.

### `data-ratio`

The ratio of the lazyframe. Possible values: 16:9, 4:3, 1:1

### `data-initinview`

Set this to true if you want the resource to execute (for example video to play) when the element is in view.
