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.
npm i @dvlden/vidagepnpm i @dvlden/vidageyarn add @dvlden/vidage
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...
