🛤️ rails-top-tracks-api

Today's deliverable is a link to your GitHub repository with at least one fully implemented GET and POST action in app/controllers/top_tracks_controller.rb.

Getting Started: Step by Step

  1. Fork this GitHub Repo.
  2. Clone your new fork locally and navigate to it in your shell.
  3. Run rails db:migrate to apply initial migrations.
  4. Run rails server and navigate to the [http://localhost:3000/top_tracks][http://localhost:3000/top_tracks] page.
  5. Click the Sign in with Spotify button to authenticate with OAuth.
  6. Open app/controllers/top_tracks_controller.rb. All changes should be made in this file!
  7. Review the rspotify documentation and consider how you would fill in the actions in your controller. For example, can you create an action that would find information about a certain track?
  8. Create the API! It can return either a JSON response, or a Rails view containing the data.
  9. Add, commit, and push your changeset to GitHub.
  10. If you finish early, add more features! Example stretch challenge: can you create an action that returns recommendations based on the already provided track data?

Important Notes

  • You must run this locally and serve the website over port 3000 to ensure access to the Spotify Web API.
