Song Request Queue

Demo

You can try a live demo at https://song-request.grinnz.com. The admin account has the username and password demo, and demo also works as a bot key.

Requirements

PostgreSQL 9.5+
Perl 5.20+

Setup

Create a PostgreSQL database and user (that can create tables in the database) for the app to use.

$ createuser song_request_user -lP
$ createdb song_request_queue -O song_request_user

Create song_request_queue.conf as a perl configuration file, example:

{
  pg => 'postgresql://user:pass@/dbname',
  hypnotoad => {
    listen => ['http://*:8080'], # 8080 is default for hypnotoad
  },
  secrets => ['change this'],
}

Create an empty stopwords file named empty.stop in the tsearch_data subdirectory of your PostgreSQL share directory.

# pg_config --sharedir
/path/to/sharedir
# touch /path/to/sharedir/tsearch_data/empty.stop

Install the perl module prerequisites from the cpanfile.

$ cpanm --installdeps .

Start the application.

$ perl song_request_queue.pl daemon --listen='http://*:3000'

Or with hypnotoad (production web server):

$ hypnotoad song_request_queue.pl

See the Mojolicious deployment cookbook for more information on deployment options.

Users

Admin users must be manually added to the users table (created once the webapp has been run and successfully connected to the database). The binary field password_reset_code can be set to a one-time-use code to allow the user to set a password on the /set_password page.

> INSERT INTO "users" ("username","password_reset_code","is_admin","is_mod") VALUES ('someuser',E'\\xDEADBEEF',true,true);

Admin users can add queue moderators on the /admin page. The reset code will be returned and can be used similarly on the /set_password page.

Song format

Songs can be manually added on the Admin page, but can also be imported in CSV or JSON format. The CSV format is expected to be that exported by the C3 Tools Setlist Manager, or in general to have headers and the following columns (order not important):

Song Title
Artist
Album Name
Track #
Source
Duration

The JSON format is expected to be that exported by Clone Hero, or in general to be an array of JSON objects with the following elements (order not important):

songName
artistName
albumName
charterName
songLength

Bot Requests

Requests can be sent from a bot to the API endpoint /api/queue/add. The parameters bot_key, requested_by, and query should be included in the query string. bot_key must match a value in the bot_keys array in the config file. The endpoint accepts GET requests to accomodate bots with limited HTTP request functionality, but POST should be used when possible to avoid resubmitting requests. The endpoint returns a text string indicating success or error that can be displayed by the bot.

song_request_queue.conf:
...
  bot_keys => ['foobar'],
...

GET https://example.com/api/queue/add?bot_key=foobar&requested_by=Grinnz&query=something
