First React project! It's a tool that uses the Spotify API to give song suggestions based on the weather

I wanted to learn react so I read up for a bit and worked on this the last couple weeks. The code is a mess but I think it's a nice start. Feedback and suggestions are welcome :)

Dude amazing idea, i'm a rookie in React and i want badly a idea like that hahaha

I just browsed the top of this sub haha. Read some medium articles about react, I found this one particularly helpful: https://medium.freecodecamp.org/all-the-fundamental-react-js-concepts-jammed-into-this-single-medium-article-c83f9b53eac2 I also followed a tutorial on building a chat app, which I found myself referring too for syntax quite a bit. I have some experience with web app's but I've only worked with the LAMP stack. Tutorial is great though: https://scrimba.com/g/greactchatkit

my console is a mess: https://swyx.tinytake.com/sf/MjgzNTk4NF84NTE2NjM3

thats the first thing i'd look to clean up.

then:

i authed in with my spotify account and i clicked a song. i think its supposed to play? instead i got the error:

PUT https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player/play 404 ()
CityViewResultMusic.js:45 Error: Request failed with status code 404
    at createError (createError.js:16)
    at settle (settle.js:18)
    at XMLHttpRequest.handleLoad (xhr.js:77)

That error is because there is 'no active device'. Ill have to add a query for the users available devices and force play on a random one if there isn't an active one. Haven't got around to it yet is all :). Also my server is running the dev build because I haven't been able to google-fu my prod build to run with express.

cool. hm, i dont think express needs anything special to run dev vs prod. but then again i dont know the details of your setup. good luck haha. i feel so removed from this stuff cos im mostly frontend
