Spotify allows the functionality to create ordered playlists to sort and save songs which are then shareable with other users. This then led to people creating playlists where the title of each song creates a sentence. Our program will generate a playlist (group of songs) based on a string input by the user. These then get assigned to the user’s account and the user can also edit the contents of the playlists. This allows users of our program (with pre-existing spotify accounts) to be able to create custom playlists with ease, outside of their spotify application.

course-project-tylersgroup's Issues

UserManager instance attribute

What should the instance attribute of UserManager be?

Should it be a Map<String, User> or Map<String, String>?

The former makes the most sense as it stores the username as key and User datatype as value.

The latter makes some sense if we want to have addUser(String username, String password), or else we need to create an entity (User) for the second argument.

"List<Playlist> playlists" attribute of PlaylistManager

After reviewing the code of PlaylistManager, I have found out some issues:

1. "List playlists" is never used any of the methods of the class
   Possible solution A: delete it, if we do not care about any of the old playlists generated by all the users

Possible solution B: when we add a playlist to the user, we will also add this playlist to the "playlists" attribute. We should only do
this if users CAN access other user's (list of) playlists and "use" their playlists. In other words, we want a "database" of playlists that were added in the past.

Extended solution for B: when we call the removePlaylist method, it removes a playlist from the user's (list of ) playlists. If we adapt solution B, do we want to also remove this playlist from the "database"?

In short: do we want to keep track of playlists created by all the users, or each user keep track of their own playlists so we do not need the private attribute.

Web App CSS and HTML (broken links, poor format)

Since I'm not at all familiar with CSS and HTML, I have just finished the styling of all pages in the webapp, but there are still some links broken and some of the CSS elements are broken...)
