In this tutorial, we'll create a Lyrics Finder web application using React. This project is perfect for those looking to practice integrating APIs, managing state, and displaying dynamic content.
The Lyrics Finder allows users to search for song lyrics by entering the song title and artist name. It fetches the lyrics from a public API and displays them on the screen. Users can quickly find and read the lyrics of their favorite songs.
- Search Functionality: Users can search for lyrics by song title and artist name.
- API Integration: Fetches lyrics from a public lyrics API.
- Dynamic Content: Displays lyrics dynamically based on user input.
- User-Friendly Interface: Clean and easy-to-use interface for searching and viewing lyrics.
- React: For building the user interface and managing component states.
- CSS: For styling the application.
- JavaScript: For handling API requests and app logic.
The project is organized as follows:
├── public
├── src
│ ├── components
│ │ ├── LyricsFinder.jsx
│ │ ├── SearchForm.jsx
│ ├── App.jsx
│ ├── App.css
│ ├── index.js

- LyricsFinder.jsx: Manages the search logic and displays the fetched lyrics.
- SearchForm.jsx: Provides a form for users to input song title and artist name.
- App.jsx: Renders the main layout and the

component.

The Lyrics Finder project is an excellent way to practice integrating APIs and handling dynamic content in React. It provides a practical example of building a useful application with a clean and interactive user interface.
- Inspiration: The project is inspired by the need for quick access to song lyrics while listening to music.
