Play function Message Return and Console Log.

[KayPls]

Hello,

Everything works as intended, so thank you for that.

To note: my prefix is ( . )
The .play <YT URL video ID> function works perfectly, but I would like to know how to create a message return when needed:
(1) When .play is entered alone or .play <Song title>, I want to return a message to the user stating to enter a valid YT URL in order for the function to work.
(a) Also but not as important, I would like to get rid of the console errors that stem from not entering .play <YT URL video ID> exactly (unhandlePromiseRejectionWarnings).

Thank you for your time!

Hi, what you’re looking for is a function to validate whether or not args[1] is a YouTube URL.

Here’s a function that will do so.

function validateYouTubeUrl()
{
var url = $('#youTubeUrl').val();
if (url != undefined || url != '') {
var regExp = /^.(youtu.be/|v/|u/\w/|embed/|watch?v=|&v=|?v=)([^#\&\?]).*/;
var match = url.match(regExp);
if (match && match[2].length == 11) {
// Do anything for being valid
// if need to change the url to embed url then use below line
$('#ytplayerSide').attr('src', 'https://www.youtube.com/embed/' + match[2] + '?autoplay=0');
}
else {
// Do anything for not being valid
}
}
}

Replace the //Do anything for not being valid with
message.channel.send(“Enter valid Youtube URL”)

And //Do anything for being valid with the function to perform the !play command.

Hopefully that helps! (:
