Using it
The smallest call that compiles — required props only. The import is
written for your own file at src/components/Example.astro;
adjust the relative import if yours sits elsewhere.
Everything optional is in the table above, with its default.
---
import LiteYoutubeEmbed from './velocity/lite-youtube-embed/LiteYoutubeEmbed.astro';
---
<LiteYoutubeEmbed
title='title'
/>Built from Lite Youtube Embed's own prop signature and the path the CLI installs it to, so it can't drift from either.
Accessibility
- ARIA attributes
- aria-disabled, aria-label
- Keyboard
- Built on native controls — Enter/Space work as standard
Read from the source, not asserted — anything not listed simply isn't in this component's markup.
Behaviour
- Ships client JS
- No — renders to static markup
Theming
This component paints from 2 steps of
your theme scale — no hardcoded colours, and no font-family of
its own, so your type cascade wins. Override the variables and it follows.
primary-600primary-700
Also reads --vx-ink
directly.
Get the Velocity preset and CSS theme from the public source guide. The CLI theme command is not available on npm yet.
File this creates
The CLI writes this path into your project — nothing
else moves. Paths are under your source root, which defaults to
src/; pass
--dest if yours is elsewhere.

How do I install Lite Youtube Embed?
Run velocityx add lite-youtube-embed . The CLI writes the source straight into your project — it is not a runtime package dependency.
Do I need a licence for Lite Youtube Embed?
Yes. It is part of the lifetime library — buy access at https://aidxn.com/shop/velocity-x-component-library/, authenticate once, and install it. Your lifetime licence includes future component updates.
Can I edit Lite Youtube Embed after installing it?
Yes — the files are yours once written. The CLI compares its lockfile hash before upgrades and refuses to overwrite code you changed.
Does Lite Youtube Embed ship JavaScript to my users?
No. It renders to static markup with no client-side JavaScript of its own.
Will Lite Youtube Embed match my brand colours?
Yes. It paints entirely from your theme scale — 2 steps of primary-* / accent-* — with no hardcoded hex values and no font-family of its own. Override the theme CSS variables and it follows your design system instead of ours.
Does Lite Youtube Embed pull in any dependencies?
No external ones. Every component in the library is built with react/react-dom or plain Astro only — no GSAP, Radix, Swiper or Headless UI — which is what makes dropping it into an existing project safe.
