Getting Started

import { SpotifyWebSDK } from "spotify-web-playback-sdk-for-react";

<SpotifyWebSDK
      name="hahaha"
      getOAuthToken={(cb) => cb("token")}
      volume=0.5
      enableMediaSession=true
      >
</SpotifyWebSDK>

name: name of the Spotify instance.

getOAuthToken: The callback getOAuthToken expected to provide a valid access_token.

volume: The volume of the player represented as a decimal value between 0 and 1.

enableMediaSession: If set to true, the Media Session API will be set with metadata and action handlers. Default value is false.

Given valid token and run the code, you should see a device named name from the official Spotify app.
