# HowTo

### Requirements:

SilverStripe 4

### Installation:

composer require betterembed/betterembed-silverstripe (?packagist url?)

After that, make sure you rebuild the database, class and configuration manifests by going to <http://yourwebsite.com/dev/build?flush=all>

Usage:

Upon installation, BetterEmbed shortcodes are available to use on the SilverStripe website.\
Shortcode syntax should follow this format\
\[betterembed,url=write\_url\_here]

Example shortcode with Twitter post URL:\
\[betterembed,url=<https://twitter.com/BetterEmbed/status/1201878663173726208>]

So, just add a new shortcode inside any Content field:
