Provider Height Resizing

Embedly allows providers to set the height of the embed through JavaScript. This is useful if your Embed has a fixed height or does not predictably resize with default responsive sizing.

Right now this only works for customers that use Native embeds like Medium and Embedly's cards.

If you are a provider all you need to do is send the height via postMessage like so:

window.parent.postMessage(JSON.stringify({ 
	src: window.location.toString(), 
	context: 'iframe.resize', 
	height: 300 // pixels
}), '*')

So as an example, for a fixed height embed you can use the following.

window.addEventListener('resize', function(){
	window.parent.postMessage(JSON.stringify({ 
    src: window.location.toString(), 
    context: 'iframe.resize', 
    height: 300 // pixels
  }), '*')
})

Please make sure you stringify the object before you send it up via postMessage, if you don't the code will not work.
