output to JSON ?

[gordielachance]

Hi, is there a way to output the tracklist as a JSON object, based, ideally, on the XSPF playlist (since it's a standard) ?

Thanks !

I did add support for JSPF (http://www.xspf.org/jspf/) in 5ae308fabe93cf235e71db3360db2b3fdad3954f but it isn't in a released version. Is that any use to you?

Or would do you mean a JSON export of the internal data model? I was considering adding support for YAML and JSON. And maybe write a schema 🤔

wow ! JSPF would be exactly what i'm looking for. Didn't knew about that. For your information, i'm working on a music API, that's why i'm interested in your project. Would you considerer release that ? Thanks.

I'm quite new to Ruby, how could I test this ? (where are stored the gems ?) Thanks !!!

I personally use bundler for my gems.

You can add the current git version to your project's Gemfile using:

gem 'rack', git: 'https://github.com/njh/ruby-playlist'

Otherwise you will have to clone the repo and then build and install the gem locally:

git clone https://github.com/njh/ruby-playlist
cd ruby-playlist/
gem install rspec rubocop yard
rake build
gem install ./pkg/playlist-1.3.0.gem

I guess you meant

 gem 'playlist', git: 'https://github.com/njh/ruby-playlist'

but anyway, OK, I got it, thanks !

[gordielachance]

I can confirm JSPF works with 1.3.0.

This is the output for the tracklist image - is this correct ? The specs here just show an URL. Track images seems ok (just an URL).

"image": {
  "height": null,
  "url": "https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67706c0000da84c3f4168e56a7662a53c0142a",
  "width": null
}

Thanks for your great work.

[njh]

Thanks for testing!

Ok, I will check the image thing and then make a release.

Hi,

There isn't any code that would add width and height to an image object when serialising to JSPF. Are you assigning it from some kind of object, rather than a string?

I wonder if I should be calling #to_s on values somewhere - although it doesn't seem very rubyish.

[gordielachance]

mhh i'm check, yes, maybe that's my error. Thanks.

[gordielachance]

it was my error, thanks.
