Analyzeer

A while back Deezer sent me an email with statistics on what I listened to for the last month. As someone who discovers and listens to hours of music a week, I thought it was really cool to see. Sadly, I didn't receive another mail like this the following month, nor the month after that, so I decided to implement something myself using Deezer's API. Analyzeer was born.

Running this app yourself

First, create a new Deezer application. You'll need the Application ID and Secret Key.

Now

To deploy this app in production using Now, set a secret named analyzeer-settings containing the following:

{
    "appid": 123456,
    "secret_key": "your deezer app secret key",
    "url": "the base url for the app, including https://",
    "port": 9090,
    "db": {
        "host": "SQL database host",
        "user": "SQL database user",
        "password": "password for that user",
        "database": "which database to use"
    }
}

Then, run now GitSquared/analyzeer. See Now's documentation on deploying git repos for more info on this command.

Running locally (static)

Clone the repository, then create a now-secrets.json at the root of your clone containing the following:

{
    "@analyzeer-settings": "your settings string following the template in the 'Now' section above"
}

Then npm run build and finally npm start. Make sure the port you defined is available.

Running in "dev mode" (live recompilation)

(Only works on *nix systems for now, requires bash)

Follow the instructions in "Running locally" above, and use npm run live instead of build & start. The webapp's logic and all "static" files will be reloaded and recompiled automatically when changed on-disk. Also, in dev mode, a data sample is used instead of actually using Deezer's API.
