Challenge 4: Spotify Application

Challenge 4: Spotify Application


My 4th challenge was to create an application using the Spotify API. In this application a user can search for a particular artist. Once they select an artist a list of albums is displayed. The user can click an album and see all songs on the album. They can also preview the songs AND visit the spotify page for the song/album. Below is a video of the working application:

The main problem I faced in the development of this application is that I would be copying similar functions and forget to change all of the variable names. This meant that I was doing things like looking for albums with the artist URL. From this problem I learned to be very careful when swapping out code.

The point of developing this application was to explore using Router Link. I did successfully use Router link for the navigation and feel as though I would be able to easily do so in the future. I also gained experience with another API. To date in my self-directed I've worked with both the Spotify/Github APIs. I would like to explore the Instagram API in the future.
