Playlist Management

This documentation provides an overview of the playlist management system. The playlist is managed through a store with specific reducers that handle different playlist operations.

Store Reducers

The store implements two main reducers to manage playlist operations:

1. Add song in the playlist

Purpose: Initialize a new playlist session.

Behavior:

• Clears any existing playlist content completely
• Adds the provided songs as a new playlist
• Automatically begins playback from the first song in the new playlist

Use Case:

• Starting playback of a new album
• Switching to a different playlist
• Initializing the player with fresh content

2. Add recommendations in the playlists

Purpose: Extend the current playlist without disrupting playback.

Behavior:

• Preserves the currently playing song
• Maintains the existing playlist order
• Appends new songs to the end of the current playlist
• Does not clear or reset any existing content

Use Case:

• Adding "recommended" or "similar" songs to the queue
• Extending the current listening session
• Creating a continuous playback experience

Usage Flow

1. New Playlist Creation:

• Trigger addSongsInThePlaylist() with an array of song objects
• The playlist will reset and begin playing the first song

2. Playlist Extension:

• While a song is playing, trigger addRecommendationsInThePlaylist() with additional song objects
• New songs will be added to the queue without interrupting the current playback

Implementation Considerations

• The current implementation doesn't support individual song removal
• There is no direct method to reorder the playlist after creation
• Both reducers expect properly formatted song objects
