Installation

Usage

Here's a simple example of how to use musixmatch-api-js in a React project to fetch and display track lyrics.

Importing and Initializing

First, import the package and create an instance of MusixMatchAPI:

import MusixMatchAPI from 'musixmatch-api-js/dist/musixmatchAPI.bundle.js';

const musixmatch = new MusixMatchAPI();

Fetching Track Lyrics

To fetch track lyrics, use the getTrackLyrics method. This method requires a trackId to identify the track:

async function fetchTrackLyrics(trackId) {
    try {
        const lyrics = await musixmatch.getTrackLyrics(trackId);
        console.log(lyrics);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error fetching track lyrics:', error);
    }
}

fetchTrackLyrics('123456');

Using in a React Component

Below is an example of a React component that fetches and displays lyrics for a given track ID.

import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import MusixMatchAPI from 'musixmatch-api-js/dist/musixmatchAPI.bundle.js';

const musixmatch = new MusixMatchAPI();

const TrackLyrics = ({ trackId }) => {
    const [lyrics, setLyrics] = useState(null);
    const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);
    const [error, setError] = useState(null);

    useEffect(() => {
        const fetchLyrics = async () => {
            setLoading(true);
            setError(null);
            try {
                const response = await musixmatch.getTrackLyrics(trackId);
                setLyrics(response.message.body.lyrics.lyrics_body);
            } catch (err) {
                setError('Error fetching lyrics');
            } finally {
                setLoading(false);
            }
        };

        fetchLyrics();
    }, [trackId]);

    return (
        <div>
            {loading && <p>Loading...</p>}
            {error && <p>{error}</p>}
            {lyrics && <pre>{lyrics}</pre>}
        </div>
    );
};

export default TrackLyrics;

Adding the Component to Your App

Finally, use the TrackLyrics component in your main application:

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import TrackLyrics from './TrackLyrics';

const App = () => {
    return (
        <div>
            <h1>Track Lyrics</h1>
            <TrackLyrics trackId="123456" />
        </div>
    );
};

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));
