Setup

You'll need a Spotify developer account and a new project.

https://developer.spotify.com/

Redirect URI

Faveslist uses OAuth to connect to Spotify. In the final stage of the OAuth procedure, Spotify will need to redirect back to the app using the Redirect URI. It's basically a link from the web to the native app.

In the project settings in Spotify, set a Redirect URI to match this app's default protocol client.

For example, in the project I created for this app, I set the redirect URI to faveslist://. And then in the client itself I registered the protocol like this

API key

Create two json files in a config directory, one for each environment.

confg/env_development.json

confg/env_production.json

Add your id and secret using the following format:

{
  "name": "lowercase env name",
  "CLIENT_ID": "YOU ID HERE",
  "CLIENT_SECRET": "YOUR SECRET HERE"
}

The two files are reduntant, because Spotify only issues one key, but this respects the original setup of the electron boilerplate. Probably I should change this though...

Development

npm start

Build

npm run release
