Spotify Playlist Sorter

Spotify's API provides a lot of extra information which isn't visible to the user in their web client. Artists can have genre information as specific as 'nu-gaze; aussietronica; deep melodic german house'. Individual tracks also have a machine learning analysis performed on them by Spotify, therefore tracks have a score for variables such as 'dancability', 'acousticness', tempo, key, and time signature. The purpose of Splaylist is to use this API to help sort and categorise a user's playlists.

To explore the data which Spotify's API holds, check out MusicalData.com or any of the other projects listed on Spotify's developer site.

While initially I was going to use this as an opportunity to learn JavaScript / React, I then discovered that I could create this project in C# with the recently released Blazor framework. Originally, the project was created targeting Blazor WebAssembly, but it has been configured such that it can also run as a Blazor Hosted project (mostly to utilise the Visual Studio debugger).

• Install Blazor through Microsoft's Get Started guide.
• Clone this project, making sure to recurse submodules git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ajmck/splaylist [output directory]
• Use the Spotify Developer Dashboard to create a client key.
• Edit splaylist/splaylist/Config.cs and populate the above client key.
• Add the callback URI https://localhost:44326/callback to the app in Spotify's developer dashboard.
  • Note that the port number changes depending on if the project is running as WebAssembly or as Hosted; both Config.cs and Spotify's developer dashboard must be set with the appropriate link.
• Open splaylist.sln in Visual Studio, use the top toolbar to choose between splaylist or splaylist.Hosted, and use the play button to run the project.
  • Alternatively (and untested), if using the CLI, change directory in to either splaylist/splaylist or splaylist/splaylist.Hosted and use the command dotnet run

• Very early development at this stage; I'll spend some more time to get crucial features implemented then tidy the codebase, and then once an alpha version is deployed online I'll appreciate contributions.

• Blazor
• BlazorDual - plenty of time spent figuring out how to switch between a WebAssembly and Hosted Blazor project
• stsrki/Blazorise.DataGrid - DataBound listings
• JohnnyCrazy/SpotifyAPI-NET - .NET library for making requests against Spotify's API, forked due to Blazor incompatibilities with proxy config / other edits
