mglaman, 1 month ago For my blog, I wrote a media type source plugin that allows adding rich embeds of links (like on social platforms.) Should I turn it into a contrib module? I call them "Embed links", I'm not sure what the project would be named.

DaleTrexel, 1 month ago @mglaman @mandclu Are you thinking that "Embed Links" might be too generic? "Social Embed Links" is a bit more descriptive, but is that too specific for your application? "Rich Embed Links" actually has a good ring to it: you're adding a link that's enhanced with additional display elements.

mglaman, 1 month ago @DaleTrexel @mandclu I was thinking "Rich" should be in the name, and "Rich Links" is probably too generic. Unless media_rich_links

media_rich_links
DaleTrexel, 1 month ago @mglaman We already use "media" to refer to files (images, video, sound), whether local or remote, so that might be confusing. If you're linking to general "content" that could be social media posts or web pages, maybe you'd want something like: Content Preview Links Content Embed Links Content Rich Links "Rich Content Links" reads better to me, but I could see you wanting the name to start with the object, followed by modifiers in this case.

mglaman, 1 month ago @DaleTrexel I was thinking the media prefix in machine name since it's for the media module. The display name could be "Media: Content Embed Links" or just call it "Media: Embed Links", media_embed_links and call it a day

DaleTrexel, 1 month ago @mglaman Ah right, that makes sense!

DaleTrexel, 1 month ago @mglaman I like it! It would be good to have something like that which is agnostic of specific platforms. What are you looking at for metadata to identify things like title, feature image, etc.?

mglaman, 1 month ago @DaleTrexel I use the embed/embed library, which normalizes open graph and other metadata. It's really simplistic $embed_link = (new Embed)->get($media_url); return match ($name) { 'default_name', 'title' => $embed_link->title, 'url' => $media_url, 'description' => $embed_link->description, 'image' => $embed_link->image, default => null, };

DaleTrexel, 1 month ago @mglaman Nice! I was trying to imagine doing a DIY of all the platform-specific formats out there on top of opengraph and thinking that could be a deep rabbit hole to chase down.
