Due to restrictions from Spotify, a public api key could not be integrated into the app. Due to this, each user will be required to generate an API key for themselves
Head over to the Spotify developer dashboard and create a new application
After creating a new app, click on the newly created app and you will be taken to a new page listing your Client ID and Client Secret. Note these down as they will be used later.
Click on Edit Settings button on top-right and add the following URLs into Redirect URI field:
These URLs are required to allow fetching a token from the Spotify OAuth2 code.
If you feel moosync.app is suspicious, don't worry you can check out its code here
Now you can head over to Moosync app and click on Settings. Under Settings > System you will find text fields for Spotify Client ID and Spotify Client Secret.
Paste the string you copied earlier into these fields. Now you should be able to log in to your Spotify account.
You can add your alternate accounts under Users and Access and use the same Client ID and Client Secret for multiple users.
Functionnality of Moosync can be extended through Third party extensions. Extensions usually are archives with an extension of .msox. To install an extension, simply head over to Settings > Extensions > Install Extension. Here are some known extensions.

yarn install- Add appropriate values inside sample.config.env

Native dependencies need to be compiled for electron separately.
Incase this does not work, you can run
yarn nativeTo compile native dependencies.
To serve the app, run
yarn electron:serveBefore generating a production build, take a look at vue.config.js and change the builder options as required.
To generate a production optimized version run
yarn electron:buildIt is recommended to write your extensions using Typescript.
Typescript is Javascript but with strict typechecking which helps in preventing some (but not all) runtime errors.
