Add playlist info

[SO9010]

This PR aims to add the playlist image, description and owner to the top of the playlist, much like on the top of Albums and Artists. This will be useful when users have been implemented so we can allow the user to navigate to other users by clicking on the username.

Hey @jacksongoode could you check this out #630 should get merged before this one. This is the start to being able to add the ability to view users

[SO9010]

@jacksongoode any chance to have a quick look at this?

[jacksongoode]

Very cool! A few thoughts.

• I think the playlist could function a little more like an album view rather than an artist view, so maybe we should make the image the same size as the album cover in the album view? We also have a ton of height there as a result given that most playlist descriptions are short.
• Collaborative: false looks a little odd, we could either make it a different icon (we have a unique icon for playlists next to their name) or we just hide the case where its false and only show Collaborative when the playlist is collaborative.

Could you rebase on main?

[SO9010]

Yes that makes sense, I agree. I will have time to do this in a few days!

[SO9010]

Should look better now!

[jacksongoode]

I'll have a look tonight! It would also be great if you added a short description on the PR just to get a sense for historical record of what the PR does.

[SO9010]

Done and thanks!

[jacksongoode]

Ok a few things,.

In the case of the album info, there is a artist name, date, and label. Also note the padding between the album art and the start of the left alignment. Is it possible to get the playlist created date? If so that would be nice info to add then we could have:

Creator name
January 1, 2025
10 tracks

Much more like the album view. I think this could make sense given that the description is not often included? Maybe this means we should just mimic the album format for the playlist view?

However there is a little annoyance given that when the description is long, it currently doesn't wrap. We could just keep it that way or implement wrapping for the last line (description).

I'm just kind of feeling the ":" are a little odd and out of place? Its nicer without the field name and colon.

[SO9010]

Okay, that makes sense - I agree. I'm sure I can find an endpoint that provides the playlist creation date!

Personally, I don't think the cover would look good if it's too far to the right. For playlists, it aligns better with the text or the album covers. Also, unlike albums, playlists don't have track numbers.

That said, I'm happy to implement it your way if you'd prefer!

I agree with keeping the design almost the same as the albums, except for that one difference.

[jacksongoode]

Would you be up for me making a few changes and we can revert if you don't think they work?

[SO9010]

Of course please do!

[jacksongoode]

I was trying this out and realized that maybe the collaborative label isn't accurate? Its always false for my playlists, even collaborative ones? Does it work for you?

[SO9010]

Oh! I don't have any collaborative ones so I couldn't check!

[jacksongoode]

I made some changes to adapt a bit the last line will show if its public/private and if its collaborative that's added like "Public • Collaborative". @SO9010 what do you think? If you test & think its good feel free to merge!

[jacksongoode]

See comment above ^

[SO9010]

Looks much better, thank you! One thing though I am thinking some hierarchy to the text like the one for albums would look nice. It currently looks a bit flat if that makes sense. I will change that then ask you to check it out again :)

[SO9010]

I think this look better! @jacksongoode just waiting for you final ok again now :)

[jacksongoode]

Looks good! Merge away!
