In the latest iteration of my YouTube Playlist Player plugin, I decided to remove all jQuery dependencies. I replaced the following jQuery each()
loop with its JavaScript equivalent.
I have replaced:
jQuery.get("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&fields=items(id,snippet)&id=" + videoId + "&key=" + ytApiKey, function (data) {
var videoId = jQuery('.yt-api-container').data('vdid'),
videoArray = videoId.split(',');
jQuery.each(videoArray, function (index, value) {
var videoElement = '<div class="yt-api-video-item yt-' + data.items[index].id + '" data-id="' + data.items[index].id + '"><div class="yt-api-video-thumb"><img src="' + data.items[index].snippet.thumbnails.high.url + '" alt="' + data.items[index].snippet.title + '"></div><div class="yt-api-video-description">' + data.items[index].snippet.title + '</div></div>';
jQuery('.yt-api-video-list').append(videoElement);
});
});
with:
var ytApiKey = document.querySelector('.yt-api-container').dataset.apikey,
videoId = document.querySelector('.yt-api-container').dataset.vdid,
httpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
httpRequest.open('GET', "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&fields=items(id,snippet)&id=" + videoId + "&key=" + ytApiKey, true);
httpRequest.onreadystatechange = function (data) {
if (httpRequest.readyState === 4) {
data = JSON.parse(httpRequest.responseText);
var videoId = videoId = document.querySelector('.yt-api-container').dataset.vdid,
videoArray = videoId.split(','),
videoElement;
videoArray.forEach(function (item, index) {
videoElement = '<div class="yt-api-video-item yt-' + data.items[index].id + '" data-id="' + data.items[index].id + '"><div class="yt-api-video-thumb"><img src="' + data.items[index].snippet.thumbnails.high.url + '" alt="' + data.items[index].snippet.title + '"></div><div class="yt-api-video-description">' + data.items[index].snippet.title + '</div></div>';
document.querySelector('.yt-api-video-list').innerHTML += videoElement;
});
}
};
httpRequest.send();
Enjoy!
