Spootify Coding Challenge 🎧  

 

Goals/Outcomes ✨

• To test knowledge of consuming APIs and handling responses
• Loading state and knowing where and how to make multiple API calls efficiently

 

Pre-requisites ✅

• Add your Spotify client ID & secret to a .env file in root using the environment variables REACT_APP_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID and REACT_APP_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET
  • Note. Never add this type of config to version control. This would usually come from your build server.

 

Requirements 📖

• Fetch and display Released This Week songs
  • Use the API path new-releases
• Fetch and display Featured Playlists
  • Use the API path featured-playlists
• Fetch and display Browse genres
  • Use the API path categories
• Loading state/UI (optional, current UX is already clean)

 

Think about 💡

• Taking a look at the Spotify API documentation
• Do you resolve each API request one after the other or in parallel?
• Where do you make the API requests?
• How much logic do you offload out of the UI components?

 

What's Already Been Done 🏁

• UI/UX for all elements, including previews (mobile responsive)
