Muso

A simple music list and discussion app built with React-Redux and Firebase.

Still to do:

• Add redux-persist so the single page album views are persisted across refresh.
• Add user authentication so they can save their lists and delete comments that they added.
• Build a better, more robust comments database object that is tied to album ID (album.code) instead of being embedded within the album object.
• Design proper UI.
• Add client side database management (CRUD) for site owner.
• Build the database (add more album details such as tracklisting, song duraton, etc.)!

Nice to have (to be done after the above):

• User editable album details.
• Enable users to add albums themselves and have them sent for approval.
• Have links to streaming services/embedded player.
• Have notifier icon for new comments on an album the user has in their collection.
• Improve commenting functionality, e.g. have nested replies, ability to quote, etc.

Useage

• Run npm install.
• Add the starter JSON file (albums.json) to the root of your Firebase database.
• To use this app you will need to create a file in the src directory called 'base.js'. This will include your firebase credentials:

import * as firebase from "firebase";

var config = {
  apiKey: "YOURAPIKEY",
  authDomain: "your-database-name.firebaseapp.com",
  databaseURL: "https://your-database-name.firebaseio.com"
};

firebase.initializeApp(config);

const base = firebase.database();

export default base;

• Profit!

Database

You can add your own album objects to your database manually (I will add client side ability in future). They must have:

• artist: artist name
• artwork: link to cover artwork
• code: (a unique identifier - this will be done automatically on upload in future)
• description: a short description of the album (or lipsum)
• label: record label
• tags: an array of tags
• title: the album title
• year: the year of release

comments are not necessary as they are automatically added.
