## What it is
Vidage is a lightweight JavaScript library that turns HTML5 video into a full-screen background, automatically pausing, playing, hiding, or showing the video based on device and viewport conditions. It provides a fallback cover image for touch devices and small screens, with simple JS and SCSS configuration.

## Use cases
- add a full-screen background video to a landing page
- show a fallback image instead of video on mobile or touch devices
- pause background video when the tab is hidden or viewport is small
- implement hero sections with looping background video
- replace CSS background images with video backgrounds

## When to choose
- you need a simple, dependency-free background video solution
- you want automatic fallback images for touch or small-screen devices
- you prefer a small vanilla JS library over a full framework

## When to avoid
- you need advanced video controls like playlists or captions
- your project uses a framework with its own video background components
- you need guaranteed support for legacy browsers

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: video-processing, ui-components, frontend-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend, media
- platform: browser
- tags: background-video, fallback-image, responsive, javascript, nodejs
