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.
