# YoutubeVideoIdGenerator
This class mimics the algorithm used by YouTube to generate unique video IDs.
## Let me explain the class:
- We define a class called `YoutubeVideoIdGenerator` that represents our YouTube video ID generator.
- We define three constants: `VIDEO_ID_LENGTH` with a value of 11, which represents the length of a YouTube video ID, `VIDEO_ID_CHARACTERS` with a string that contains all the characters that can be used in a YouTube video ID, and `DEFAULT_ALGORITHM` with a value of `sha256`, which represents the default algorithm to use for ID generation.
- We define two private properties: `$algorithm`, which represents the algorithm to use for ID generation, and `$secret_key`, which represents the secret key to use for ID generation. We also define a constructor that allows us to set the `$secret_key` and `$algorithm` properties.
- We define a public method called `generateId` that generates a YouTube video ID. This method calls two private methods: `generateRandomString` and `convertHashToId`. `generateRandomString` generates a random string of characters with a length of 11 using the characters in `VIDEO_ID_CHARACTERS`, while `convertHashToId` converts a hash generated by the algorithm and the random string to a YouTube video ID.
- We define two private methods: `generateRandomString` and `convertHashToId`. `generateRandomString` generates a random string of characters with a length of 11 using the characters in `VIDEO_ID_CHARACTERS`, while `convertHashToId` converts a hash generated by the algorithm and the random string to a YouTube video ID.
- We define a public method called `getVideoLink` that returns the YouTube video link for a given video ID.
To use this class, you can create an instance of it with a secret key:
```php
$generator = new YoutubeVideoIdGenerator('your_secret_key');
# You can then generate a YouTube video ID:
$video_id = $generator->generateId();
# Finally, you can get the YouTube video link for the generated ID:
$video_link = $generator->getVideoLink($video_id);
echo $video_link;
```
This will output a link like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhiFw_2EasE, which is a valid YouTube video link.
