DanceFlix is a web application for users to stream dance videos. Inspired by Netflix, DanceFlix allows users to watch, favorite, and search for their best-loved dance videos of all time.
- User accounts with secure authentication
- full backend and frontend secure user authentication
- Video streaming with controls and no interruption
- full video streaming from YouTube
- User can favorite their preferred videos
- favorites appear on the Favorites Page
- User can search for a video by title.
- search is responsive, loading only the videos that match instantly
- User can view their most viewed videos
- Most Viewed page, with the videos sorted by view count
- Backend Testing with RSpec
- RSpec tests improve Rails functionality and provide automated tests for Jenkins
DanceFlix was designed and built in 2 weeks.
A proposal was drafted to help provide an implementation timeline for the development process along with a database schema.
DanceFlix is a single-page web application built on a Rails backend and a React frontend.
The following code snippet provides for me to set a different id for each page, which allows for a different background image on each page of a single-page web app.
const currentPage = () => {
const page = window.location.hash.slice(2);
if (page === "") {
return (
"splash"
);
} else {
return (
page
);
}
};
const App = () => (
<div id={currentPage()}>
...
)
...The following code snippet loads the video from YouTube.
render()
{
if (this.props.videoId === parseInt(this.props.match.params.id))
{
const video = this.props.currentVideo;
return (
<iframe className="current-video"
src={video.video_url}
frameBorder="0"
allowFullScreen></iframe>
);
} else {
...
);
}
}
...The following code snippet allows for dynamic search by year. Usually search by year will not search by key stroke; however, the following will overcome this challenge.
def search_by_year
year = params[:query][:year].to_i
if year == 0
@videos = Video.all
elsif year < 10
year = year * 1000
next_year = year + 1000
@videos = Video.where("year >= ? and year < ?", year, next_year)
elsif year < 100
year = year * 100
next_year = year + 100
@videos = Video.where("year >= ? and year < ?", year, next_year)
elsif year < 1000
year = year * 10
next_year = year + 10
@videos = Video.where("year >= ? and year < ?", year, next_year)
else
@videos = Video.where("year = ?", year)
end
...DanceFlix could be improved with the addition of a few future implementations. Future Development
