DVD Collector

This project is a lightweight Vue.js application designed to help you manage and maintain a listing of your personal DVD collection. It integrates with Firebase for hosting and data storage, and utilizes the OMDB API to fetch movie details. It fetches IMDB ratings but you can also add your own personal rating to titles. Managing your DVDs is behind a login that you can setup in Firebase.

Getting Started

1. OMDB API

The app fetches movie information from the OMDB API. To use this feature, you’ll need to sign up and obtain an API key from OMDB.

2. Firebase Setup

To store your data, you’ll need to configure a Firebase database. Ensure you have a Firebase project set up and add your credentials to the .env file.

Firebase Hosting

This app is deployed using Firebase Hosting. To deploy updates:

1. Install the Firebase CLI.
2. Run npm run build to build your app.
3. Run firebase deploy to push the latest version.

Make sure your Firebase authentication and permissions are properly configured. You’ll need to create a user account for logging in.

Firebase Security Rules

Ensure your Firestore database rules are set to the following:

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /{document=**} {
      // Allow anyone to read the data
      allow read: if true;

      // Allow write only if the user is authenticated
      allow write: if request.auth != null;
    }
  }
}

This configuration allows anyone to read the data, but only authenticated users can write to the database.

Recommended IDE Setup

VSCode + Volar (and disable Vetur) + TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar).

Type Support for .vue Imports in TS

TypeScript cannot handle type information for .vue imports by default, so we replace the tsc CLI with vue-tsc for type checking. In editors, we need TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar) to make the TypeScript language service aware of .vue types.

If the standalone TypeScript plugin doesn't feel fast enough to you, Volar has also implemented a Take Over Mode that is more performant. You can enable it by the following steps:

1. Disable the built-in TypeScript Extension
   1. Run Extensions: Show Built-in Extensions from VSCode's command palette
   2. Find TypeScript and JavaScript Language Features, right click and select Disable (Workspace)
2. Reload the VSCode window by running Developer: Reload Window from the command palette.
