The requirement of this project was to build a copy of a page from Spotify. The UI should have as much operation as needed to function properly for that page . In addition to having the same look and feel of the original. While working in a larger grup we all needed to handle atleast one component of the site setup. We also had to use RESTful API calls and use REACT as a basis for building the site.To get full functionality from our site you will need to have a Spotify premium account.

- The client ID be there with the client secret
- Also click edit to add http://localhost:4000/api/login to the Redirect URIs
- From there add this to your .env
- Run Docker container and copy the seed and migration files to the /tmp folder created by docker.
- run postgreSQL through VS Code
- create a Database to hold all the data
- initialize the migration and seed file into the database created
docker exec -it (docker container ID) bash
psql -U postgres
CREATE DATABASE (database name);
\c (database name)
\i /tmp/migration.sql
\i /tmp/seed.sql- from here cd into the server folder
- run the database using nodemon index.js
- to run the client side just run npm run dev to get the client side up and running.
nodemon index.js

Overall, we enjoyed working together to build this project. By collaborating, we realized the effectiveness of team projects and how to manage projects without having to continually check on each other's progress. This experience also helped us understand the complexity and nuances required to build everyday sites.
