Youtube Instant Search with Jquery and Ajax

The instant search feature has massively changed the web in past couple of weeks. I had developed real-time Youtube instant search with Jquery and Ajax. It is very simple like my previous posts, just reading the Youtube API JSON file with Jquery. Take a look at this live demo

Youtube Instant Search

Download Script     Live Demo     Live Demo

Javascript Code
$(".search_input").keyup(function(){})- search_input is the class name of input tag. $(this).val() - calling the input search box value. The encodeURIComponent() function encodes special characters (More infomation).
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/
ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{

$(".search_input").keyup(function()
{
var search_input = $(this).val();
var keyword= encodeURIComponent(search_input);
// Youtube API 
var yt_url='http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q='+keyword+'&format=5&max-results=1&v=2&alt=jsonc';

$.ajax
({
type: "GET",
url: yt_url,
dataType:"jsonp",
success: function(response)
{

if(response.data.items)
{
$.each(response.data.items, function(i,data)
{
var video_id=data.id;
var video_title=data.title;
var video_viewCount=data.viewCount;
// IFRAME Embed for YouTube
var video_frame="<iframe width='640' height='385' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/"+video_id+"' frameborder='0' type='text/html'></iframe>";

var final="<div id='title'>"+video_title+"</div><div>"+video_frame+"</div><div id='count'>"+video_viewCount+" Views</div>";

$("#result").html(final); // Result

});
}
else
{
$("#result").html("<div id='no'>No Video</div>");
}
}
});
});
});
</script>
// HTML code
<input type="text" class='search_input' />
<div id="result">
</div>

    However, It would be more nice if the search results are more than one and i can select which video to play.

    However, it would have been much more cooler if you actually developed this a few weeks ago as Feross did so before you.

  34. I have a question about the performance. As far as performance is concerned, Is it better to hit the api on server side and render output as HTML or hitting the api from client side and building the HTML in jquery ?
    Note: page output will be cached on the server an so asp.net page cycle is not executed on every client request.

    ReplyDelete
