Note

• If you want to clone this app from github and run it yourself, you would need to supply your own .env file for it to work. This file should have the content below.

# Spotify API keys

SPOTIFY_ID=your-spotify-id
SPOTIFY_SECRET=your-spotify-secret

• This file will be used by the dotenv package to set what are known as environment variables to the global process.env object in node. These are values that are meant to be specific to the computer that node is running on.
