Spotify Player React

Introduction

Spotify Player React is a JavaScript library that provides a customizable and user-friendly interface for playing music from Spotify. It allows developers to integrate Spotify music playback functionality into their web applications using React.

Features

• Seamless integration with Spotify's Web API
• User authentication and authorization
• Access to user's Spotify playlists, albums, and tracks
• Real-time playback controls (play, pause, skip, seek)
• Music playback in the background
• Track information display (title, artist, album, cover)

Installation

To get started with Spotify Player React, you need to have Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) installed on your development machine.

1. Install the package using npm:

npm install spotify-player-react

2. Import the package in your React component:

import SpotifyPlayer from 'spotify-player-react';

Usage

Once you have installed Spotify Player React, you can use it in your React components to create a Spotify player interface. Here's a basic example:

import React from 'react';
import SpotifyPlayer from 'spotify-player-react';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>My Spotify Player</h1>
      <SpotifyPlayer
        clientId="YOUR_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID"
        redirectUri="YOUR_AUTH_REDIRECT_URI"
      />
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

Make sure to replace YOUR_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID with your actual Spotify client ID obtained from the Spotify Developer Dashboard, and YOUR_AUTH_REDIRECT_URI with the URI where Spotify should redirect after successful authentication.

Options

The SpotifyPlayer component accepts several options as props to customize its behavior:

• clientId (required): The client ID of your Spotify application.
• redirectUri (required): The URI where Spotify should redirect after successful authentication.
• autoPlay (optional): Specifies whether to start playing music automatically or not (default: false).
• showSaveButton (optional): Specifies whether to show the save button for saving the current track to the user's library (default: true).
