Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Install the package via composer:

```
composer require waynestate/parse-youtube-id

```

Parse full YouTube URL's

```
use Waynestate\Youtube\ParseId;

...

$youtube_id = ParseId::fromUrl('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCjTG0rOIXQ');
echo $youtube_id; // 'yCjTG0rOIXQ'
```

Parse short YouTube URL's

```
$youtube_id = ParseId::fromUrl('https://youtu.be/yCjTG0rOIXQ');
echo $youtube_id; // 'yCjTG0rOIXQ'
```

Null strings or non-YouTube URL's return an empty string

```
$youtube_id = ParseId::fromUrl('');
echo $youtube_id; // ''
```

See [`/tests/UrlParseTest.php`](tests/UrlParseTest.php) for all supported URL variations.
