   */
});
```

- __`names`__

```js
ytlist(url, 'name').then(res => {
  console.log(res);
  /*
  { data:
   { playlist:
      [ 'Singleton Design Pattern - Beau teaches JavaScript',
        'Observer Design Pattern - Beau teaches JavaScript',
        'Module Design Pattern - Beau teaches JavaScript',
        'Mediator Design Pattern - Beau teaches JavaScript' ] } }
   */
});
```

- __`ids`__

```js
ytlist(url, 'id').then(res => {
  console.log(res);
  // => { data: { playlist: [ 'bgU7FeiWKzc', '3PUVr8jFMGg', '3pXVHRT-amw', 'KOVc5o5kURE' ] } }
})
```

```js
ytlist(url, 'duration').then(res => {
  console.log(res);
  // => { data: { playlist: [ 291, 237, 164, 309 ] } }
})
```

```js
ytlist(url).then(res => {
  console.log(res.data);
  // = [{}]
});

// or

ytlist(url, ['id', 'name', 'url']).then(res => {
  console.log(res.data);
  /* Array
  [ { id: 'bgU7FeiWKzc',
    name: 'Singleton Design Pattern - Beau teaches JavaScript',
    url: 'https://youtube.com/watch?v=bgU7FeiWKzc',
    isPrivate: false },
  { id: '3PUVr8jFMGg',
    name: 'Observer Design Pattern - Beau teaches JavaScript',
    url: 'https://youtube.com/watch?v=3PUVr8jFMGg',
    isPrivate: false },
  { id: '3pXVHRT-amw',
    name: 'Module Design Pattern - Beau teaches JavaScript',
    url: 'https://youtube.com/watch?v=3pXVHRT-amw',
    isPrivate: false },
  { id: 'KOVc5o5kURE',
    name: 'Mediator Design Pattern - Beau teaches JavaScript',
    url: 'https://youtube.com/watch?v=KOVc5o5kURE',
    isPrivate: false } ]
   */
});
```

__Notice__: In `multiple details` - another prop will be added. `isPrivate` will be true when the video is private (for not loggedin user).

## API

```js
ytlist(url, opts)
```
#### `opts`

- __`id`__ `:` `returns only ids of all the videos present in a playlist`
- __`url`__ `:` `returns only urls of all the videos present in a playlist`
- __`name`__ `:` `return only name of the videos present in a playlist`
- __`duration`__ `:` `return only duration (in seconds) of the videos present in a playlist`

- Passing `opts` either as __`url`__ or an array of options __`['id', 'name', 'url', 'duration']`__ returns all the details.

__Type of__

- __`url`__ `:` __`string`__

- __`opts`__ `:` __`string`__ or __`array`__

#### NOTE

- This `api` already supports `url-redirection`, so you are free to use the shortened url.

- For data extraction, you can either choose -
	- __`playlist url`__
	- __`url of the content from playlist`__ __[`#1`](https://github.com/CodeDotJS/youtube-playlist/issues/1)__
