crews is a React application that serves as a frontend for the crews-be application also available at my Github profile. It displays the song currently being listened to in Spotify and searches for the credits with the help of crews-be.
It's deployed at Netlify
Application keys are needed for Spotify to run the application. Also, a Spotify account is needed.
Configuration variables need to be set in a .env.local file. Since this project is bootstraped with create-react-app, all vars start with REACT_APP_. They are all mandatory.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| REACT_APP_BE_DOMAIN | Domain where the backend is. If you're running locally crews-be with the default port, is likely localhost:3001 (this app runs on 3000). If you want to hit the one deployed at Heroku, it's https://crews-be.herokuapp.com |
| REACT_APP_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID | Given by Spotify when creating a new application |
| REACT_APP_SPOTIFY_SCOPES | Scopes to authenticate the app for. As of May 2018, user-read-playback-state user-read-currently-playing should suffice |
| REACT_APP_SPOTIFY_AUTHORIZE_URL | Url where the app redirects to authenticate. As of May 2018 it should be https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize. If it were to change, you'd probably find it at the Spotify docs |
- Clone and run
yarn - Run
yarn run start
You'll be redirected to authenticate with Spotify first. After that, app should display the song you're listening to and the results or progress of the search.
Components have stories using storybok. Run yarn run storybook and an instance of Storybook will run on localhost:9001.
