event.target is null

[thesayyn]

The doc says that we can access the underlying youtube API with ready events target property which is null in my case.

For a quick fix export the player variable in the svelte YT component and bind:player in the parent to access the payer instance.

bind:player didn't work for me (or I did it wrong)

however, I could access the player from event.detail.target in the onReady event

// script
let player
function onReady(event) {
    player = event.detail.target
    player.playVideo()
}

// html
<YouTube on:ready={onReady}></YouTube>

MarcSallent THANK YOU SO MUCH I had not found the solution before read this.
