WDI Radio Lab

Please fork this repo. On Friday, submit your work a pull request.

Setup

API Setup

Fork and clone this repo. We'll be using a rails back end. It'll be a single model CRUD API for songs. Lets go into this directory and run all our initial rails setup and run our server.

$ cd wdi_radio_api
$ rake db:create
$ rake db:migrate
$ rake db:seed
$ rails s

This will be the backend we'll be using, from http://localhost:3000.

What follows are not explicit steps. Just guidelines to approach building out this angular application.

Angular Setup

• Create a main directory for your wdi_radio application.
• Create an index.html in your application's main directory.
• Create a skeleton for your content and include all dependencies.
• Create the main app.js file and create the module for this angular app.
• Create a module that defines songs.

UI-Router & Resources/Factories (Wednesday)

User Stories

As a user, when we go to the app, we see a welcome page. As a user, we should be able to see all of our songs in the database. As a user, we should be able to see a single song page.

Router

• Add a router to the app.js.
• Add a state for the routes /welcome and /songs.
• Create templates for these routes.

Controller

• Create a controller file and define a controller to handle songs.

Factory

• Create a factory for songs that point to the API we setup earlier.
• Remember to inject this dependency into the controller.

Views

• Use directives in the html to list all songs
• Use directives in the html to view a single song(separate template)

Bonus

• Implement full CRUD for songs

Custom Directive (Thursday)

User Stories

The same as before. We are refactoring existing functionality, not adding new features. Plus:

• As a user, when we select a song it starts playing. The world is a better place.

Refactor to Custom Directives

• Convert your existing controllers to custom directives. One at a time. Commit early, commit often.

Bonus

• Show the song on the index page.
  • When you click a song, it renders somewhere in the index
• Implement/refactor full CRUD for songs
• Get the song to play

Authorization and Tidying up (Friday)

User Stories

• As a user, we should be able to identify ourselves (sign up, login, logout)
• As an authorized user, we should be able to favorite

Add user authentication

• User can sign up, login, logout
• Authenticated user can favorite a song(s)

Tidy up

• Review and clean up, especially directives
