Automatically close Modaal when video stops playing about modaal HOT 2 CLOSED

@danhumaan thank you! And that's perfectly understandable, actually it's what I love about Modaal (how clean it is) so it makes sense. I'll have a look at the links you provided and see what I can do.

Hey @elliottmangham thanks for the kind words. Currently there is no support to detect video end, and allow for an event to fire, or other video events.

Our goal is to keep Modaal as lean as possible while ticking all the right boxes of accessibility, aesthetics and features other designers and developers might want. Extending the plugin to support video events would introduce other dependencies and weight that not all users may want, such as the need for the Vimeo Froogaloop library.

See this stack overflow thread, and this Vimeo developer page for information and examples on how you may be able to connect to your video to a 'finish' event. You could then, using that event, call the $('.modaal-selector').modaal('close'); method to trigger the modal close.

Youtube appears to be slightly more friendly however I don't believe it would be wise at this time to add these event checks for one supported video format and not the other in the plugin's current setup, without overcomplicating things.

We may look into this again sometime down the track if we ever extend the video functionality for more control.
