WWW::Y...::Utils(3pm)

📦 version 3.11.6, in alpine 3.24

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is the WWW::Y...::Utils(3pm) page — User Contributed Perl Documentation, bestie — for WWW::YoutubeViewer::Utils, and it is literally Various utils. That’s the whole vibe: little helper routines doing their thing.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

The starter pack is exactly this:

use WWW::YoutubeViewer::Utils;

my $yv_utils = WWW::YoutubeViewer::Utils->new(%opts);

print $yv_utils->format_time(3600);

No cap, that print is serving format_time(3600) realness. 💅

🎀 SUBROUTINES/METHODS 🎀

💖 new(%opts)

The new(%opts) situation comes with these options:

  • thousand_separator => "" — character used as thousand separator.
  • months => [] — month names for format_date().
  • youtube_url_format => "" — a youtube URL format for sprintf(format, videoID).

📦 extension($type)

Returns the extension format from a given type.

Like, hand it a string like 'video/webm;+codecs="vp9"' and it returns 'webm' — just the extension part, periodt.

⏰ format_time($sec)

Returns time from seconds. That’s the whole thing. The synopsis uses 3600, iykyk.

🕰️ format_duration($duration)

Return time (01:20:10) from duration (PT1H20M10S). So yeah: duration string in, time string out.

📅 format_date($date)

Return string "04 May 2010" from "2010-05-04T00:25:55.000Z". It’s giving date glow-up. ✨

🧓 date_to_age($date)

Return the (approximated) age for a given date of the form "2010-05-04T00:25:55.000Z".

✅ has_entries($result)

Returns true if a given result has entries. Simple vibe check.

🧼 normalize_filename($title, $fat32safe)

Replace file-unsafe characters and trim spaces. That’s the cleanup era, bestie.

📝 format_text(%opt)

Formats a text with information from streaming and video info.

The structure of %opt is:

(
    streaming => HASH,
    info      => HASH,
    text      => STRING,
    escape    => BOOL,
    fat32safe => BOOL,
)

🔢 set_thousands($num)

Return the number with thousand separators.

🎬 get_video_id($info)

Get videoID.

📄 get_description($info)

Get description.

🏷️ get_title($info)

Get title.

🖼️ get_thumbnail_url($info;$type='default')
