Function updateRecentTracks

  • updateRecentTracks(): Promise<void>

    Updates the list of recently played tracks from Spotify

    Fetches the user's recently played tracks from the Spotify API and updates the application state to reflect the current listening history. This provides a baseline of listening data for skip detection and backward navigation identification.

    Returns Promise<void>

    Promise that resolves when the update is complete

    Example

    // Refresh recent tracks history
    async function refreshHistory() {
      await updateRecentTracks();
      console.log('Recent tracks history updated from Spotify');
    }

    Source

    export async function updateRecentTracks(): Promise<void> {
      try {
        // Get recently played tracks from Spotify API
        const recentlyPlayed = await spotifyApi.getRecentlyPlayedTracks();

        if (
          recentlyPlayed &&
          recentlyPlayed.items &&
          recentlyPlayed.items.length > 0
        ) {
          // Extract track IDs from the response
          const trackIds = recentlyPlayed.items.map((item) => item.track.id);

          // Update the state with the new list of recently played tracks
          setRecentTracks(trackIds);

          store.saveLog(
            `Updated recent tracks list (${trackIds.length} tracks)`,
            "DEBUG",
          );
        } else {
          store.saveLog(
            "No recent tracks found or API response was empty",
            "DEBUG",
          );
        }
      } catch (error) {
        store.saveLog(`Failed to update recent tracks: ${error}`, "ERROR");
      }
    }
