For this application, I wanted to focus on improving the following skills:
- Improving my knowledge about interacting with an API
- Concurrent programming (primarily asyncronous HTTP requests)
- State Management via
GenServers - Functional Programming concepts and pipelining
- Start up the server
mix deps.get
mix phx.server-
Navigate to http://localhost:4000/authorize in order to authorize the application to access your spotify
-
Navigate to http://localhost:4000 and have fun creating your playlist!
Warning
Due to the limitations of the Spotify API, some playlist creation processes may not
be successfully fulfilled in a timely manner. In order to combat this, I call the add_songs function recursively until it
is successful. That being said, some requests may take longer than others. There
will be a fix for this in the near future
