Tracknote (🎵) is an application for annotating Spotify playlists. Enhance your playlists by adding context and notes alongside your music selection
The tech stack for Tracknote is as follows:
client- built using React, Next.js, and TypeScriptserver- built using Node.js, Express, and TypeScript with MongoDB as our underlying database
This repo hosts Monorepo's API and client code which should be treated as separate apps. To faciliate easy type and code sharing, there is also a shared folder used between both.
client/- hosts our React/Next applicationserver/- hosts our Node/Express servershared/- hosts shared types, utilites, and data
Currently, Tracknote is not being hosted anywhere but the plan is use the following services:
- Our client app will be hosted on a Vercel instance
- Our API server will be hosted on a separate AWS instance
- Will use a managed MongoDB instance from TBD
Also looking into setting up a safe staging environment using a similar setup as above
TODO: clean this section up @WilhelmWillie
To start app and develop... first make sure to set up a Spotify Developer account and an app. Once you have that, install the dependencies for both client and server:
# In /server
yarn install
# In /client
yarn install
Next, set up your server/.env file:
MONGODB_HOST={mongodb uri}
SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID={your apps client id}
SPOTIFY_SECRET={your apps secret}
JWT_SECRET={ur server's JWT secret}
I need to clean this up, but you'll also need to update client/utils/authorizeSpotify and update line 1 to your Spotify client ID.
Once you have that set-up, you can run the dev script for both client and server:
# In /server
yarn dev
# In /client
yarn dev
(Note: make sure you have MongoDB up and running)
Everything should be smooth sailing after that. Visit localhost:3000 to test out your app or localhost:8000 to test out the API
