A simple way to show the metadata of a YouTube video in Laravel

Installation

The LaravelYoutube service provider can be installed via composer by requiring the jorarmarfin/laravel_youtube package in your project's composer.json.

Laravel 5.5+ will use the auto-discovery function.

{
    "require": {
        "jorarmarfin/laravel_youtube": "0.0.2"
    }
}

If you don't use auto-discovery you will need to include the service provider / facade in config/app.php.

'providers' => [
    //...
    JorarMarfin\LaravelYoutube\LaravelYoutubeServiceProvider::class,
]

//...

'aliases' => [
    //...
    'LaravelYoutube' => JorarMarfin\LaravelYoutube\Facades\LaravelYoutubeFacade::class
]

That's it! You're good to go.

Here is a little example:

use LaravelYoutube; // at the top of the file

$data = LaravelYoutube::getData('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYgkfQUUwWQ');
$data is object
