PCO x Spotify Playlist Generator

A SvelteKit app that pulls your active worship songs from Planning Center Online and matches them on Spotify so you can generate a playlist with one click.

How It Works

1. Server-side: SvelteKit server routes fetch your song list from the PCO Services API (keeping your API credentials safe on the server).
2. Client-side: After authenticating with Spotify via OAuth, the app searches for each song on Spotify and lets you curate the list.
3. One click: Hit "Make the playlist!" to create a Spotify playlist from the matched tracks.

Songs are filtered to those in "active" rotation — scheduled in the last 6 months, used more than once, and excluding Christmas songs.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 24+
• A Planning Center Developer Personal Access Token (Application ID + Secret)
• A Spotify Developer Application (Client ID)

Setup

1. Clone and install

   pnpm install
   

2. Configure environment variables

   Copy the example env file and fill in your credentials:

   cp .env.example .env
   

   Edit .env:

   PCO_APP_ID=your_planning_center_app_id
   PCO_APP_SECRET=your_planning_center_app_secret
   VITE_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID=your_spotify_client_id
   

   Note: PCO_APP_ID and PCO_APP_SECRET are server-only and never exposed to the browser. VITE_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID is prefixed with VITE_ because it needs to be available in the browser for the Spotify OAuth redirect.

3. Configure your Spotify app

   In the Spotify Developer Dashboard, add the following Redirect URI to your app:

   http://127.0.0.1:5173/callback
   

   For production, also add your deployed URL (e.g. https://your-site.netlify.app/callback).

Development

pnpm run dev

Open http://127.0.0.1:5173.

Build

pnpm run build
pnpm run preview

Deploy to Netlify

This project uses @sveltejs/adapter-netlify and includes a netlify.toml configuration.

1. Push your repo to GitHub/GitLab.
2. Connect it to Netlify.
3. Set the following environment variables in Netlify's site settings:
   • PCO_APP_ID
   • PCO_APP_SECRET
   • VITE_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID
4. Netlify will auto-detect the build command (pnpm run build) and publish directory (build) from netlify.toml.

Tech Stack

• SvelteKit (Svelte 5)
• Tailwind CSS v4
• Spotify Web API
• Planning Center API
• Netlify (serverless deployment)
