Welcome to Part 14 of the Spotify Clone App Development Training series! In this video, we’ll implement a Favorites system, allowing users to tag songs they love for quick access later. Just like Spotify’s heart button, this feature enhances personalization and boosts user engagement.
You’ll use React state, icons, and optional Supabase or Firebase integration to store favorite selections in real time or locally for unauthenticated users.
✅ What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✔️ Adding a Favorite (heart) icon to each song in the audio list
✔️ Managing favorite state using React hooks
✔️ Toggling favorites on click with smooth visual feedback
✔️ Optionally syncing favorites to a backend database (e.g., Supabase)
✔️ Displaying favorite tracks in a dedicated component or section
💡 Why This Step Matters:
🔹 Enhances user engagement and personalization
🔹 Mimics real-world streaming platforms like Spotify
🔹 Prepares your app for user-based playlists and liked content
