# spotifyi3

Spotify CLI for Linux required: `(sudo) pip install spotify-cli-linux`

## Building

`git clone https://github.com/TsundereBug/spotifyi3 && cd spotifyi3`

`sbt assemble`

There will now be a `spotifyi3-assembly-0.1.jar` under `target/scala-2.12/`.

## Enabling

Create a new directory anywhere you want. I will be calling this directory

`$cdir`.

Find your i3 config (most likely under `~/.config/i3/config`). Set the part

with `bar` like this:

```

# Start i3bar to display a workspace bar (plus the system information i3status

# finds out, if available)

bar {

        status_command $cdir/spotbar.sh

}

```

Now copy the `spotifyi3-assembly-0.1.jar` to `$cdir` with the name

`spotifyi3.jar`.

[Create a config file

named `$conf.conf` in `$cidr`.](https://i3wm.org/i3status/manpage.html)

Make sure this configuration sets i3status to `i3bar` mode or

else JSON parsing will fail and you will get errors!

Then, create `$cdir/spotbar.sh` with the following content:

```sh

#!/bin/sh

# shell script to prepend i3status with spotify song and artist

i3status --config $cdir/$conf.conf | java -jar $cdir/spotifyi3.jar

```

Remember to replace `$cdir` and `$conf.conf` with the actual locations

in these files.

Restart i3 to restart the bar using `meta+shift+R`.
