<lite-vimeo>

A web component that displays Vimeo embeds faster. Based on Justin Ribeiro's excellent <lite-youtube>, which, in turn, is a Shadow DOM version of Paul's lite-youtube-embed.

This is basically a rebadge of Justin's component, but for Vimeo.

Features

• No dependencies; it's just a vanilla web component.
• It's fast yo.
• It's Shadow Dom encapsulated!
• It's responsive 16:9
• It's accessible via keyboard and will set ARIA via the videotitle attribute
• It's locale ready; you can set the videoplay to have a properly locale based label
• Set the start attribute to start at a particular place in a video
• You can set autoload to use Intersection Observer to load the iframe when scrolled into view.
• Loads placeholder image as WebP with a Jpeg fallback
