REQ: Lazy load embedded YouTube videos

[huphtur]

You're killing it with these plugins Graham, figured I may as well throw another challenge at you...

Be awesome to have an option for lazy loading of YouTube videos: https://css-tricks.com/lazy-load-embedded-youtube-videos/

It exists! Added lazy as an option in v1.4.0.

To use it with the Everything plugin:

eleventyConfig.addPlugin(embedEverything, {
  youtube: {
    options: {
      lazy: true
    }
  }
});

I feel like I haven't thought of a good way to surface the options available through the underlying standalone plugins — hence why you'd have to go digging to know this feature existed. Open to suggestions on how to make that easier and more discoverable!

Sorry, should have linked to this: https://dev.to/haggen/lazy-load-embedded-youtube-videos-520g It's a different way of embedding the YouTube video.

Oh, interesting, this method is new to me but seems pretty doable. Let me look into it!
