YouTube Provider for Faker

This package will allow Faker to generate fake, but technically valid, YouTube URLs in various formats as well as an embed HTML.

YouTube's hashing algorithm ensures that the possibility of collisions is really low, so the chances of a random URI generated by this packge being a real video is also really low, but not impossible.

Upgrading to the new Faker?

Since the original Faker was sunsetted, this package was updated to 2.0 to work with the new Faker, bringing along updated version requirements, which now apply to this package as well.

• php: ^7.1 || ^8.0
• phpunit/phpunit: ^7.5.20 || ^8.5.8 || ^9.4.2

If you are still using the original Faker, you can continue to use versions 1.x of this package.
