[dependencies]

spotify_token_manager = {path = "../spotify-api-token-manager"}

and yea the obvious, please do not forget to actually clone or download the repo :D

prerequisites

rust language

setup in the spotify dashboard your application, there are several tutorials online how to do that

what matters for us specifically are a few things

client id
client secret
redirect url

please note that the redirect url should always end with /callback

here is a quick example usage

use spotify_token_manager::TokenManager;
use std::net::TcpListener;
use tokio::signal;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let listener = TcpListener::bind("127.0.0.1:8080").unwrap();

    let client_id = "05fd6ff8a5d84f399b5491410b9b22e5";
    let client_secret = "32b3b73d7ac4425bbf60484a5deab9f5";

    let init = TokenManager::new(client_id.to_string(), client_secret.to_string(), listener);

    init.start_server().await;

    let result = init.get_token().await;

    println!("result: {}", result);

    signal::ctrl_c().await.expect("failed to listen for Ctrl+C"); //keep the the thread alive, if you dont keep the thread alive unexpected issues will occur. 
}

note that the url of the listener always needs to be the same url you defined earlier in the spotify developer dashboard.

after you have done it open the listener url in your browser along wihj /login to authorize your account

example of the url could be http://127.0.0.1:8080/login
