Youtube.Search.list(..).getItems return a String? how to easily transform or filter items?

I call YouTube Data API and get this error:

searchResults.getItems().map(item => item.id.videoId)};

searchResults.getItems(...).map is not a function

items are a String? how can I easily transform or filter items?

enter image description here

Solution

  • The code:

    var a = [0], b = [1], c = a + b;
console.log(typeof(c));

    produces string on console. This one:

    var a = {};
console.log(String(a.map));
a.map();

    produces the line:

    undefined

    along with the error message:

    TypeError: a.map is not a function

    The same things happen when having var a = ""; instead.

    You should replace:

    searchResults['items'] =
searchResults['items'] + nextPage['items'];

    with:

    searchResults['items'] =
searchResults['items'].concat(nextPage['items']);

    assuming that both searchResults['items'] and nextPage['items'] are arrays.
