Beam

This is a music player that uses Resonate's API.

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

View the project board where work is tracked for this repository.

Development​

Install yarn if you don't yet have it on your machine by running:

npx install yarn
git clone git@github.com:resonatecoop/beam.git
cd beam
yarn install
yarn start

Runs the app in the development mode.\ Open http://localhost:8080 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.\ You will also see any lint errors in the console.

Running against the API​

The client is set up to run against a locally running version of the API. Check instructions there for how to get it to run. You can also run the client against our stage server (please be nice to it), but for that you'll have to ask us to add a client to the server.

Logging in.​

By default, most of the app will work without logging in, but if you want to log in you'll need a client_secret. Logging in will let you play complete songs, manage your playlists, etc.

First, create a local .env file:

cp .env .env.local

Then, you'll need to set REACT_APP_CLIENT_SECRET to be the client \ secret for your client app. If you're working on beam directly, \ you can message Si \ to get a client secret.

Production build​

yarn build

You can then run that locally with

yarn serve

Tests​
