ncg-spotify

A NodeCG bundle to access the current song playing on spotify.

Requirements

• NodeCG v1.x

Installation

1. Clone (or download & extract) to nodecg/bundles/ncg-spotify
2. cd nodecg/bundles/ncg-spotify and run npm install --production
3. If nodecg-cli is installed run nodecg defaultconfig else go to nodecg/cfg and create ncg-spotify.json and refer to configschema.json
4. Create a spotify app from https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/applications
5. Click edit settings and set the redirect URI as http://localhost:9090/bundles/ncg-spotify/spotify-callback/index.html
6. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret to the ncg-spotify cfg in nodecg/cfg/ncg-spotify.json like the defaultconfig.json is
7. Run the nodecg server: node index.js (or nodecg start if you have nodecg-cli installed) from the nodecg root directory
8. Click log in on the spotify connector panel

The token should refresh automatically but if something weird happens there is a refresh token button.

Usage

ncg-spotify creates the replicant currentSong. To access it make a replicant like const song = nodecg.Replicant('currentSong', 'ncg-spotify');

currentSong properties

• name String - Name of the song
• artist String - Name of the artists
• albumArt String - URL of the album art, local files will not show album art
• playing Boolean - True if the song is currently playing

Example

const songRep = nodecg.Replicant('currentSong', 'ncg-spotify');

songRep.on('change', newVal => {
	songNameElement.innerHTML = newVal.name;
	artistElement.innerHTML = newVal.artist;
	albumImageElement.src = newVal.albumArt;
});

There is also a replicant rawSongData which is the value of all the data given when requesting the current song. Can be used for more advanced implementations.
