Jukebox30

Demo project, presentation and notes for a talk about quickly building a Jukebox web-app on Azure with Node.js and the Spotify Web API.

The talk

"Hacking on Azure with Node.js and the Spotify Web API" is a deep-dive introductory session, suitable for experienced developers who may not yet have explored Node.js or Azure Websites in depth.

I will be talking about building this project at these upcoming meetups:

• Code Camp 2104
• Wellington .NET UG, October 29th 2014
• Ellerslie .NET UG, November 25th 2014
• North Shore .NET User Group, 2015
• Microsoft Ignite NZ 2015

The demo app

http://jukebox30.azurewebsites.net/

This is a proof of concept web-app for demonstration purposes. Contributions, comments and issues welcomed. License is MIT.

Technologies used

Node.js Tools for Visual Studio (NTVS), Microsoft Azure Websites, Azure Table and Queue Storage, Webjobs SDK, the Spotify Web API, Node.js, Angularjs, Bootstrap, and socket.io.

Getting started

• Register for a Spotify API Key.
• Install NTVS (optional)
• Create a .env file "Jukebox.env" and add your secret keys for the Spotify API and Table Storage, e.g.

SpotifyApiClientId=abcdef1234567890
SpotifyApiClientSecret=abcdef1234567890
StorageAccountName=youraccountname
StorageAccountKey=youraccountkey==
StorageAccountTableStoreHost=yourstorageaccounthost.com

• git clone https://github.com/DanielLarsenNZ/Jukebox-30.git
• Then open your favourite console and run:

cd Jukebox-30\Jukebox.Web
npm install

• To run the app, in the same directory run node app.js or run in Visual Studio using NTVS.
