Playlists created and managed seamlessly with Terraform!

Project Overview
This project focuses on using Terraform to create and manage multiple Spotify playlists for various occasions such as morning routines, evening relaxation, and party nights. Terraform automates the entire process, making it efficient and scalable.

Prerequisites

Terraform Installed: Ensure Terraform is installed on your machine.
Docker Installed: Make sure Docker is installed and running.
Spotify Account: A Spotify account is required (premium access not necessary).
Spotify Developer Account: Register and create an application to obtain the Client ID and Client Secret.
Spotify Provider for Terraform: Install and configure the Spotify provider for Terraform.
VS Code Editor: Recommended for editing Terraform files.
Steps to Complete the Project

Set Up Terraform Project

Create a new directory for your Terraform project and navigate to it in your terminal.
Create a file named spotifyterra.tf to define your configuration.
Define the Spotify Provider
terraform {
required_providers {
spotify = {
source = "conradludgate/spotify"
version = "0.2.7"
}
}
}

provider "spotify" {
api_key = var.api_key
}

In the spotifyterra.tf file, define the Spotify provider. Refer to the official HashiCorp documentation for the correct provider block.
Obtain API Credentials

To interact with Spotify's API, you'll need a Client ID and Client Secret.
Create a Spotify App

Visit the Spotify Developer Dashboard.
Log in with your Spotify account.
Click "Create an App" and complete the required settings.
Copy the Client ID and Client Secret keys and paste them into a .env file.
Run the Authorization Proxy

Run the following command to start the authorization process:

docker run --rm -it -p 27228:27228 --env-file .env ghcr.io/conradludgate/spotify-auth-proxy

After running this command, you should see a "Authorization Successful" message.
Add Playlists

Use Terraform to add a playlist by defining it in your configuration file.
Add Multiple Playlists

Utilize the data source block in Terraform to access Spotify's platform directly and create multiple playlists automatically.
Verify Playlists Creation

Check your Spotify account to see the newly created playlists.
By following these steps, your playlists will be created and managed seamlessly with Terraform!
