Collabify

This repo is for a Spotify Playlist Creator and Manager called Collabify. It's a simple app that allows users create collaborative playlists, add and remove songs and listen their playlists. There are two parts to it, the auth-server, and the client.

Getting Statrted

1) Create an App

• Visit https://developer.spotify.com/
• Log in and create an app
• Enter http//localhost:8080/callback as the redirect URI
• Save your changes
• Copy down the following: Redirect URI, client id, client secret

2) Start Auth Server

• Navigate to the auth-server directory cd auth-server/authorization_code
• Install the dependencies npm install
• Paste in the redirect uri, client id, and client secret you copied in step 1 to a .env file (and make sure to include that file in your .gitignore!)
• Run the Server node app.js

3) Start Client

• Navigate to the auth-server directory cd client
• Install the dependencies npm install
• Run the Server npm run start-poll

4) Use the App

NOTE: All users must have an account with Spotify to use this app

• Create a Playlist! New Playlists will only post to Spotify if there is a Playlist name. Descrption is optional. The empty (collaborative) playlist instantly shows up on your Spotify account.
• Add songs! Clicking on any of the playlists on the right will open them up in the window. You can add or delete songs from within there.
• Share with friends! Enter the phone number of a friend you want to share your playlist with! They'll receive a link which opens the playlist in their Spotify mobile app, where they can add songs.
