Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Install

yarn add react-native-spotify-remote

or

npm install --save react-native-spotify-remote

Android 11 and Above

Add the following to your Android Manifest:

<queries> <package android:name="com.spotify.music" /> </queries>

Linking

As of React Native > 0.61, auto linking should work for both iOS and Android. There shouldn't be any modifications necessary and it Should work out of the box. If you do run into issues or are using an older version of React Native, the following sections should help get you up and running.

iOS

This library requires being built with XCode 11 for reasons given here.

Cocoapods (Recommended)

By far the easiest way to integrate into your project. In your ios/PodFile add the following lines to your projects target:

	pod 'RNSpotifyRemote', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-spotify-remote'

See the Example App PodFile for a full example.

I have only tested this against RN > 0.60 in the example app. So if you have issues with a RN version < 0.60 that might be a place to start troubleshooting.

Manual

Manual linking is needed for projects that don't use Cocoapods.

  1. Manually add the frameworks from node_modules/react-native-spotify-remote/ios/external/SpotifySDK to Linked Frameworks and Libraries in your project settings.

iOS Framework Search paths;

  1. Then add ../node_modules/react-native-spotify-remote/ios/external/SpotifySDK to Framework Search Paths in your project settings see the screenshot below. (By default it won't show the options in XCode so you may need to check all)

iOS Framework Search paths;

Troubleshooting

'React/RCTConvert.h' file not found might be due to a build dependency issue where RNSpotifyRemote is being built before React. Try adding React as an explicit dependency of the RNSpotifyRemote target/project in XCode. Otherwise, Cocoapods should solve this for you.

Auth Callback

In order to support the callback that you will get from the Spotify App you will need to add a url handler to your app.

iOS

Modifications are needed for the AppDelegate.m:

#import "AppDelegate.h"

#import <React/RCTBundleURLProvider.h>
#import <React/RCTRootView.h>
#import <RNSpotifyRemote.h>

@implementation AppDelegate

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)URL options:(NSDictionary<UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey, id> *)options
{
  return [[RNSpotifyRemoteAuth sharedInstance] application:application openURL:URL options:options];
}

@end

Android

If you need to link your project manually, here are some things you'll need to do.

  1. Open up android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainApplication.java
  • Add the following imports to the top of the file
import com.reactlibrary.RNSpotifyRemotePackage;
  • Add to the list returned by getPackages() for example:
      @Override
      protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
        @SuppressWarnings("UnnecessaryLocalVariable")
        List<ReactPackage> packages = new PackageList(this).getPackages();
        // Packages that cannot be autolinked yet can be added manually here, for example:
		   packages.add(new RNSpotifyRemotePackage());
        return packages;
      }
  1. Append the following lines to android/settings.gradle:

    include ':react-native-spotify-remote'
    project(':react-native-spotify-remote').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-spotify-remote/android')
  2. Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in android/app/build.gradle:

    implementation project(':react-native-spotify-remote')
  3. As per the Spotify Android SDK Docs Insert the following lines into android/app/src/AndroidManifest.xml

      <activity
            android:exported="true"
            android:name="com.spotify.sdk.android.authentication.AuthCallbackActivity"
            android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar">

            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>

                <data
                    android:scheme="<YOUR_APPLICATION_SCHEME>"
                    android:host="<YOUR_APPLICATION_CALLBACK>"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

        <activity
            android:name="com.spotify.sdk.android.authentication.LoginActivity"
            android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar">
        </activity>

If you have issues linking the module, please check that gradle is updated to the latest version and that your project is synced.

Usage

Example Application

This repo contains an Example App which should be the quickest and easiest way to get up and running to try things out. It is using React Hooks (cuz they're pretty cool) and exercises all of the remote API calls.

In Code

Again, I recommend looking at the example app. If you specifically want to see some code that actually does stuff take a look at the App.tsx.

Here's how you would use this library with Typescript (though the same mostly applies to Javascript) and the async/await syntax for promises (Just cuz I like em).

import {
  auth as SpotifyAuth,
  remote as SpotifyRemote,
  ApiScope,
  ApiConfig,
} from "react-native-spotify-remote";

// Api Config object, replace with your own applications client id and urls
const spotifyConfig: ApiConfig = {
  clientID: "SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID",
  redirectURL: "SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URL",
  tokenRefreshURL: "SPOTIFY_TOKEN_REFRESH_URL",
  tokenSwapURL: "SPOTIFY_TOKEN_SWAP_URL",
  scopes: [ApiScope.AppRemoteControlScope, ApiScope.UserFollowReadScope],
};

// Initialize the library and connect the Remote
// then play an epic song
async function playEpicSong() {
  try {
    const session = await SpotifyAuth.authorize(spotifyConfig);
    await SpotifyRemote.connect(session.accessToken);
    await SpotifyRemote.playUri("spotify:track:6IA8E2Q5ttcpbuahIejO74");
    await SpotifyRemote.seek(58000);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error("Couldn't authorize with or connect to Spotify", err);
  }
}

Token Swap & Refresh

A server must be running for with endpoints that allow Spotify to authenticate your app.

In order to support the OAuth flow, you need to have a server to support the calls for token swap and refresh. I have included the same server setup defined in the react-native-spotify repo as it does exactly what you need.

See the Server Readme for further instructions.

Additional notes

Nothing has been special to deal with Spotify Free Users but this module should still work.

Opening Issues

Please do not open issues about getting the module to work unless you have tried using both the example app and the example token swap server. Please make sure you have tried running on the latest react-native version before submitting a bug.

Contributors

Big thanks to @lufinkey and all of the great work that he has done in the react-native-spotify repo which was the original source of inspiration and some useful patterns for this package.
