TL;DR
Modified validation and sanitization of video IDs in the duck-player module.
What changed?
validateVideoId
function now checks first if the input is a string. If not, it returnsnull
. If the input is a string, the function extracts the first 11 characters, validates them against a regex pattern and returns these characters if they pass the validation.getValidVideoId
now potentially returnsnull
instead offalse
.How to test?
The testing responsibilities have been accounted for in the
duckplayer.spec.js
file. A test has been added that checks whether the ID validation correctly accepts only the first 11 characters of a video ID.Why make this change?
This change was required to improve the validation of video IDs, considering only the necessary characters and properly handling different data types. It also paves the way for more robust error handling by returning
null
instead offalse
in certain functions.
