Vue wrapper for Vimeo Embed Player

Embed a Vimeo player as a Vue 3 component with ease, even with Nuxt.js SSR.

If you want the Vue 2 version, follow the instructions on the master branch.

Installation

Using npm:

npm install vue-vimeo-player@next --save

of load it via CDN

<script src="//unpkg.com/vue-vimeo-player@next"></script>

Getting Started

You can either import it in your whole project

import vueVimeoPlayer from 'vue-vimeo-player'
import Vue from 'vue'
import App from '@/App.vue'
 
const app = Vue.createApp(App)

app.use(vueVimeoPlayer)

or import it locally in a component

  import { vueVimeoPlayer } from 'vue-vimeo-player'
  
  export default {
  	data: {},
  	components: { vueVimeoPlayer }
  }

Usage without module bundler

Just include the script from the CDN and attach it to your app instance

<script src="//unpkg.com/vue@3"></script>
<script src="//unpkg.com/vue-vimeo-player@next"></script>
<!-- .... -->
<vimeo-player :video-id='videoId'></vimeo-player>
<script>
const app = Vue.createApp({...})
app.use(VueVimeoPlayer.default)
app.mount(...)
</script>	

Usage with Nuxt.js

Warning: Nuxt does not yet support Vue 3. Use the Master branch for now.
