How to implement plyr.js within a Rails 6 site?

Question

https://plyr.io/ is a javascript library to play videos with support for YouTube and Vimeo. I'm trying to implement it within a Rails 6 site. What are the steps to make this happen?

Answer 1

Rails 6 using webpacker to manage their assets, to install plyr you just need install it through package manager:

yarn add plyr

then you can require it in your js file like the docs:

import Plyr from 'plyr';
 
const player = new Plyr('#player');

make sure you have run webpacker dev server, if not you may getting module not found. Hope this help, correct me if there is any mistake.
