Awesome Radio

Awesome Radio is a personal internet radio station aggregator. See the demo.

Features

• Browse radio stations by tag
• Listen while navigating
• Fully responsive UI for mobile, tablets, and desktop
• Light and dark theme automatically enabled by OS settings
• Deep linking for all UI actions
• User accounts
• Add content sources to import stations

Assumptions & Known Issues

• Any station with a reliability score less than 80 will not be displayed
• CNN and BBC both fail to play and require authentication. I decided to leave both present in the UI and discuss strategies for authentication.

Roadmap

• Support user favorites
• Support importing from other source types
• Support manually adding/editing/disabling stations
• Support PWA to allow user to save to home screen on mobile devices
• User profile page
• Fix: Primary drawer stays open after navigation
• Fix: Station id in deep-link url...should be station slug
• Fix: Missing form validation and error handling
• Tech Debt: Add more unit and E2E tests

Getting Started

1. Create .env file from .env.example

cp .env.example .env

2. Install dependencies

npm install

3. Migrate & Seed the SQLite DB

npx prisma migrate deploy
npx prisma db seed

Notes:

• Seeding adds a testuser account and imports stations from a remote json content source.
• The db schema, migrations, and seed steps are located in the prisma folder.

Running

npm run dev

Note: If you have not seeded the DB, then you'll need to create an user account to a content source to import stations.

Testing

Run unit tests

npm run test

Run E2E tests

npm run test:e2e:run

Run all checks

npm run validate

Deployment

This project uses Github actions to deploy changes pushed to the main branch to fly.io.

The deployment pipeline is defined in .github/workflows/deploy.yml and fly.toml. Application packaging and runtime are detailed in Dockerfile. Authentication to fly.io is enabled by a FLY_API_TOKEN repository secret.

The following commands were used to initialize the fly application.

fly apps create awesome-radio-1ae3
fly secrets set SESSION_SECRET=$(openssl rand -hex 32) --app awesome-radio-1ae3
fly volumes create data --size 1 --app awesome-radio-1ae3
fly scale memory 512 --app awesome-radio-1ae3

For details on installing the flyctl cli, see here.
