if (process.env.NODE_ENV == 'development' ) {
You need to create a file called dev.js in the config folder that contains all the environment variables above. dev.js is included in the .gitignore file and should not be committed. Please double check!
} else if ('production') {
You need to export the necessary environment variables to the host machine of the authentication server.
}
Enter the following commands in the terminal:
touch config/dev.js
echo 'module.exports = {
spotifyClientID: "<<Spotify Client ID>>",
spotifyClientSecret: "<<Spotify Client Secret>>",
spotifyRedirectURI: "<<Spotify Redirect URI>>",
spotifyCallbackURI: "<<Spotify Callback URI>>",
};' > config/dev.js

Based on simple REST principles, the Spotify Web API endpoints return JSON metadata about music artists, albums, and tracks, directly from the Spotify Data Catalogue. All requests to Web API require authentication. This is achieved by sending a valid OAuth access token in the request header. For more information about these authentication methods and the Web API, see the Web API Developer Guide.
