How to handle playlist in custom extractor?

[Lutra-Fs]

Greetings! I am the creator of Flowease and I require assistance regarding the proper handling of playlists. I have observed that the official extractor has linked various types such as songs, playlists, and albums to the source. However, third-party extractors do not have access to these classes. My current strategy involves generating a distinctive string and comparing it to ascertain if the request is for a playlist. However, I am open to adopting a type-based solution for easier maintenance. Thank you!

it has

import { BaseExtractor, Playlist,Track } from "discord-player"

Check doc

That is in the extractor. I would like to know how to identify if a user would select a playlist instead of a song.

Use some RegEx to check if it's a playlist url or track url.

It's up to you on what to return from your extractor. QueryType constant is for discord-player's internal implementation of extractors, which has been around for quite a while. At the moment, you cannot extend QueryType values so you have to implement the validator yourself. However, you are able to target a specific extractor to execute by using ext:EXTRACTOR_ID as searchEngine value.
