toptracks

Just gets top tracks for a Spotify artist. Not much code, but it DRYs up a common task. Requires ES6.

The Spotify API requires an auth token for top tracks requests, so you'll have to register an application and go through the auth process (a module like get-spotify-client-credentials' can help you on the server) in order to pass a token toTopTracks`.

Installation

npm install toptracks

Usage

var TopTracks = require('toptracks');
var request = require('request');
var getSpotifyClientCredentials = require('get-spotify-client-credentials');

getSpotifyClientCredentials(
  {
    clientId: <Your Spotify API clientId>,
    clientSecret: <Your Spotify API clientSecret>,
    request: request
  },
  useCreds
);

function useCreds(error, token) {
  if (error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
  else {
    var topTracks = TopTracks({
      request: request // Any http request function that implements the request interface can go here
    });
    topTracks({artist: 'spotify:artist:69lt02nubfNbPdrvH4tJxx', country: 'US'}, logTopTracks);
  }
}

function logTopTracks(error, tracks) {
  if (error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
  else {
    console.log(tracks.map(track => track.name));
  }
}

Output:

[
  'Disavow Your God',
  'Celestial Nature',
  'Programmers Of Decline',
  'Temple of the Art-God',
  'Inner Alchemy',
  'Diverted Logic',
  'The Mystic Triad of Artistry',
  'An Order to Reclaim',
  'Rebirth Of Senses',
  'From Passion to Holiness'
]

artist can be either a Spotify URI like spotify:artist:69lt02nubfNbPdrvH4tJxx or just the id like 69lt02nubfNbPdrvH4tJxx.

Any request function that implements the request interface can be passed to the constructor, freeing you up to use something lightweight in the browser if desired. Here is an example of a function that implements request.
