Spotify.nvim

Simple Spotify integration for Neovim

Note:

This is still a work in progress and everything will not be perfect.

I highly appreciate contributions, so if you have any ideas, go ahead!

FAQ

• Why is there a NodeJS CLI for this? Why not write it in LUA?

  I saw this as the easiest way to handle this. Since we need to be able to host a web server for the Spotify callbacks. As well as the fact that we need to open the auth link in the user's browser.

  This very well might be possible with some trickery in Lua. But at the time of writing this, I did not feel like spending a bunch of hours just to set up a WS in NVim Lua. Which at the end of the day most likely would just end up freezing/locking NVim's input whilst running tasks.

Setup

Install into NVim

(Example with lazy.nvim as pkg manager)

{
  "Z3rio/spotify.nvim",

  config = function()
    require("spotify").setup({
      debug = false,
      clientId = "",
      clientSecret = ""
    })
  end,

  lazy = false
},

Install the Node CLI

(This runs the background tasks, such as Spotify auth, etc)

Go into ./cli and run npm install -g .

Usage

Get the current song

local currentSong = require("spotify").getCurrentSong()
