Progress:

Okay so the authentication for spotify is hard for me to understand and requires user authentication, then making a token request that while expire in an hour. So i focused on what I did know how to do and what I had access to token wise. The Spotify developer home page has a temporary access token for demos. I took that token and made a function to make get request to the API and two functions for top tracks and top artists. Then made some functions to print them in my terminal. Here is what my end product looked like in the terminal.

The data for tracks is proving to just show a years worth of listening even though I specified long_term in my get request.

Here is my code:

I tried just doing track.artist but Spotify handles that as multiple artists so I had to handle them as such.

Next Steps: Tackling the user authentication and token requests and including it in this code.

(Also yes I know that is a concerning amount of My Chemical Romance tracks. I had my MCR phase strike up again with a passion last October and I am still balls deep in it.)

Project update (Next.js) + little API routing tutorial

So my last post was about setting up my back-end using Node.js and Sequelize. After setting everything up it was time to create needed routes and queries. I didn't look too much into how to do it, just made an api folder, made a .ts file for every table I have in my database and filled it with CRUD operations + whatever additional query was needed.

After writing all of this I wondered how do I define links for all of these operations? Well as it turns out, when you put files in an api folder in Next.js, they generate by themself, meaning all of my crud operations were now under the same /api/file_table_name link. Obviously that's bad news. It took me 2 days of rearranging (it wasn't hard, just boring XD) and I got this structure

(This is not an entire structure, just a snippet because the whole structure is kinda big and pointless for demonstration)

So now for getting host/api/tag we have an index.ts file which carries the createTag function which requires just a body that contains new tagName.

For host/api/tag/id we have the [id].ts which carries getTagById and DeleteTag function. Now how do we differentiate between those two operations when they are on the same link?

At the end of your file you should have a handler function for which you write the cases in which certain operation happen. In this case it only depends on the http method, but it is possible to add other cases such as potential query string (the on that start with ? in the link ex. api/posts?sort=asc). Here's the code example from my /stickerpack/[id].ts file

So this means the link is going to be host/api/stickerpack/id?type="".

What surprised me was that you don't fetch id with req.params.id, but you fetch everything with req.query, and Next.js I guess just figures out what is a parameter and what is not based on the file name. Another surprising thing is the obvious "id as any" situation XD. It did not work any other way. No idea why. I'll look it up when I get the energy.

That's my wisdom for today, if you have any questions feel free to ask me anywhere XD I'm no professional tho lol

NPM vs NPX

During my first attempt at using React, I was following the installation instructions on the documentation which recommended using the command "npx create-react-app <my-app>". It was then that I realized I was not entirely sure about the difference between npm and npx, as I had been using them interchangeably without fully understanding their functions beyond package installation. This realization inspired me to write an article about the topic. A great explanation lies at the end of the article. Trust!

Finally got OAuth working!!!!

The war is over. Figured out the hard way that OAuth makes the routes for you <3

Now I can start coming up with models to store the data from users. If anyone has any ideas on how I should make those relationships with other data tables for songs and artists let me know. I’m going to reblog this post with some of my own ideas.

I also have a login page and dashboard with hard coded data to get a sense of what I want the backend to supply. Good progress! Will also reblog with pictures of that.

CAKE PHP DEVELOPMENT

What is CakePHP?

CakePHP is an open-source web framework written in PHP scripting language for web development based on the core PHP framework and MVC architecture. MVC architecture mostly Centre on model, view, and controller of the specific project to give logical separation of code from the end user.

CakePHP was created by Michal Tatarynowicz in April Year 2005. The framework gives a strong base for your application. It can hold each aspect, from the user’s beginning request all the way to the final supply of a web page.

And since the framework follows the fundamental of MVC, it permits you to simply customize and expand most aspects of your application.

The CakePHP also gives a simple organizational structure, from filenames to database table names, keeping your whole application constant and logical. This concept is easy but impressive. Go around with the protocol and you’ll always know absolutely where things are and how they’re arranged.

Here’s a quick list of CakePHP features such as:

It follows MVC architecture

Rapid development

Application scaffolding

Active, friendly community

Built-in validations

Secure, scalable, and stable

Flexible licensing

Localization

Why select CakePHP for website development:

1. Compatible : The Cakephp is compatible with several versions of PHP as well as with the in demand website directories.

2. Customizable Elements : The Elements residing inside the framework are simple to redesign and understand.

3. No Download Required : There is no requiring downloading the whole package as you can get started by directly installing the database.

4. Code Reusability : Coding from scratch isn’t needed as code-written can be used so many times in the project decrease time and effort.

5. MVC Pattern : Huge apps need a structured pattern to get started, which CakePHP offers with its special MVC pattern.

6. Code Simplicity : Easy code written in PHP can do the trick for you. The framework is simple, successful and high on areas like security and session handling.

NodeJS excels in web development with its event-driven, non-blocking I/O model, making it ideal for handling concurrent connections and real-time applications like chat apps and live streaming. Its single-threaded architecture and use of JavaScript, both on the server and client side, allow for seamless development across the entire stack. NodeJS is especially suitable for startups and projects that require fast, scalable, and high-performance solutions.

Java, on the other hand, is renowned for its robustness, security, and platform independence. It is a mature technology with a vast ecosystem and a wealth of libraries and frameworks, such as Spring and Hibernate, which facilitate the development of large-scale, enterprise-grade applications. Java's multithreading capabilities and strong memory management make it well-suited for complex, resource-intensive applications where stability and reliability are paramount.

Choosing between NodeJS and Java ultimately depends on the specific needs of your project. For real-time, scalable applications with a need for rapid development, NodeJS is a compelling choice. For enterprise-level applications requiring high stability, security, and comprehensive tool support, Java is often the preferred technology.
