Inspired by discourse's link expansion I am rolling out expansions for one line links on the blog waylonwalker. I was able to find a gatsby plugin gatsby-remark-embedder that expands one line links for social cards for popular platforms like twitter and YouTube through a repose from Kyle Mathews to my tweet.

Use Cases
This covers a couple of use cases I have with very little effort.
- YouTube
install
npm i gatsby-remark-embedder gatsby-plugin-twitter
This was super quick and simple to setup, the only thing that was extra was to
install the gatsby-plugin-twitter plugin as well as the
gatsby-remark-embedder.
enable
// In your gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
// Find the 'plugins' array
plugins: [
gatsby-plugin-twitter,
{
resolve: gatsby-transformer-remark,
options: {
plugins: [
{
resolve: gatsby-remark-embedder,
options: {
customTransformers: [
// Your custom transformers
],
services: {
// The service-specific options by the name of the service
},
},
},
// Other plugins here...
],
},
},
],
};
Thats it, now I can embed tweets and YouTube videos by just leaving the link on a single line.
