Extending Embed component!

[jezwn]

I was following this git repo for extending the Embed core component. Extension of the Embed component is possible by providing any of the following: 

• Custom URL Processor
• Custom oEmbed Configuration
• Custom embeddable fragment

The custom oEmbed configuration, I tried adding a new config in Core Components oEmbed client with the following values.

When I try to enter a URL like https://vimeo.com/76979871 I get a message that this URL is not supported and a 404 response in the network tab for that request.

The request URL: http://localhost:4502/content/project_name/_jcr_content/root/container/container/embed.urlProcessor.json?url=https://vimeo.com/7697987

Did I miss something here, could someone help!

Also how can use the custom URL processor for vimeo?

Hi @jezwn,

Could this be the issue? 😅

Hi @Theo_Pendle 

That was one thing for sure when I checked now. The other thing was the URL scheme, I changed the scheme from https://vimeo.com/* to https://vimeo.com/.* . I'm quite not sure the significance of this dot.
Thanks

Hi, I'm happy you found the issue 🙂 the scheme is in regex format, not glob. The dot means "any character" and the star means "0 or more times".

A great site for testing regex expressions is regex101.com 🙂

Also: I from a security perspective I recommend being as restrictive as possible to make sure people can't abuse the URL scheme. I don't recommend using the dot wildcard since that would let people link to http://vimeo.com/whatever-they-want for example 😛 restrict the pattern to allow only video IDs! I'm on my phone right now so it's hard to write regex but try the website I gave you, it has a validator and all the information about regex syntax.
