Fantastic is a party webapp that lets guests collaborate on a music playlist that should be played in the party. More details about the application can be found in the wiki. Live demo: https://partymusicapp.herokuapp.com

Responsive UI:

Real-time Synchronization (The left is a host page, right is a guest page):

1. Nodejs: Fantastic uses Node.js to build the backend, Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine.
2. Expressjs: Fantastic uses expressjs to build the API endpoints in the server
3. Socket.io: Fantastic uses socket.io to sync updates between multiple users and the client and server
4. MongoDB: Fantastic is built upon MongoDB Atlas Cloud Service. Set up a Clusters for your project. For user management, you can use website or Compass to connect to your database.
5. Spotify, Passport-Spotify: Fantastic plays music from Spotify. Set up a Spotify Developer Application (you need a Spotify Premium account) and configure the OAuth redirect URL. Usually at least http://localhost:3000 is needed for a dev-environment; Passport-Spotify is a library to authenticate with spotify following the OAuth2.0 strategy.
6. React: Fantastic constructs frontend using React, a JavaScript library for building user interfaces , which is Declarative, Component-Based and Scalable.

Fantastic loads sensitive configuration variables though .env files.

• server/.env: This file includes some configuration for Spotify and MongoDB such as spotify client ID, spotify client secret and spotify callback url and MongoDB database URI:

  SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID='...'
  SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET='...'
  SPOTIFY_CALLBACK_URL='...'
  MONGODB_URI='...'

The client/package.json contains all necessary dependencies for building the Fantastic frontend.

• npm run test: Runs all unit tests in the files with suffix .test.js.
• npm start: Starts the server locally at localhost:3000

The server/package.json contains all necessary dependencies for building the Fantastic backend.
