get-youtube-id-ng

Parse a youtube url returning the video ID. Fork of get-youtube-id.

Why fork

• Fix types for ESM (see: https://github.com/jmorrell/get-youtube-id/issues/10)
• Simplify and update regular expressions
• Modern ES that's easier to read
• More tests

Installation

npm install get-youtube-id-ng

Example

import { getYouTubeID } from 'get-youtube-id-ng';

const id = getYouTubeID("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0");
console.log(id); // "9bZkp7q19f0"

Fuzzy matching

By default getYouTubeID will make a last-ditch effort to look for anything that resembles an 11-character id. If you want it to be more strict you can turn this off with an options argument.

import { getYouTubeID } from 'get-youtube-id-ng';

const id = getYouTubeID("youtube abcdefghijk", {fuzzy: false});
console.log(id); // null
