ytmp3dl-core

Async YouTube downloader - core Node.js module.

This project will be rewritten to use modern features available in recent Node.js releases. Main functionality and project architecture will stay roughly the same. The development of the new ytmp3dl-core project will happen simultaneously with the upgrade of the ytmp3dl-server project.

---

Install

npm install ytmp3dl-core

Requirements

• Node.js (>=10.16.0) + NPM

const Download = require('ytmp3dl-core').Download;

new Download({ v: 'NnTg4vzli5s' })
  .on('callMethod', method => console.log(`callMethod: ${method}`))
  .on('stream-progress', prog => console.log('stream-progress', prog))
  .on('conversion-progress', prog => console.log('conversion-progress', prog))
  .on('error', err => console.log('error', err))
  .on('succes', result => console.log('succes', result))
  .callMethod('start');

Events

Example:

const dl = new Download({ v: 'NnTg4vzli5s' });

dl.on('conversionProgress', progress =>
  console.log('conversionProgress', progress)
);

Custom event binding:

const dl = new Download({ v: 'NnTg4vzli5s' });

for (let eventName in dl._events)
  dl.on(eventName, (...args) => {
    console.log('event', eventName, args);
  });

Up next

• Better README.md & examples
• Clean logging
• Better logging
• Better error handling more try catch
• Command line interface ytmp3dl-cli.
• REST server ytmp3dl-server to CRUD (manage) downloads
• Front-end features. Which will be maintained in a new project repo.. More info soon. ytmp3dl-server will be used in the process of creating user friendly experiences

Develop

Previously this project was developed using Babel.js, but since Node.js LTS supports all the features that we were transpiling Babel.js is no longer used. To develop I run node insta.js, the insta.js file starts downloads when invoked.
