Vidage

This JS module will treat video as a background. It will determine when to hide/show & pause/play the video. Touch devices and/or smaller devices with width of 34em will display image provided as fallback.

Installation (pick one)

npm i @dvlden/vidage
pnpm i @dvlden/vidage
yarn add @dvlden/vidage

CDN (pick one)

Usage

Preferred way...

Add base structure and replace video source paths

<div class="vidage">
  <video id="vidage" class="vidage-video" preload="metadata" loop autoplay muted>
    <source src="videos/bg.webm" type="video/webm">
    <source src="videos/bg.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  </video>
</div>

Setup and import required styles

// set the fallback-cover image
$vdg-fallback-image: url('../images/fallback.jpg');

// import package
@import '~vidage/src/styles/vidage';

Import the JS module and create new instance

import Vidage from 'vidage'

new Vidage('#vidage')

Old fashioned way...

Below you will find complete html example...

<!doctype html>
  <html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Document</title>

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/vidage.css">
    <style>
      /* Override the cover image. Set the path to the actual image... */
      .vidage::before {
        background-image: url('images/fallback.jpg');
      }
    </style>
  </head>

  <body>
    <div class="vidage">
      <video id="vidage" class="vidage-video" preload="metadata" loop autoplay muted>
        <source src="videos/bg.webm" type="video/webm">
        <source src="videos/bg.mp4" type="video/mp4">
      </video>
    </div>

    <!-- START: Rest of your site content -->
    ...
    <!-- END: Rest of your site content -->

    <script src="dist/vidage.js"></script>
    <script>
      new Vidage('#vidage')
    </script>
  </body>
</html>
