1. Information

This is a very simple example of using babashka to rewrite into Clojure an existing BASH script that can be found here.

I hope you agree that the Clojure example is nicer :-)

2. Prerequisites

• babashka

• spotifyd

• dunst

• notify-send (comes with libnotify)

3. Usage

Create (or modify) $HOME/.config/spotifyd/spotifyd.conf adding within the Global section:

[global]
onevent = spotify-notification.clj <client-id> <client-secret> (1)

1. The client-id and client-secret can be obtained from the spotify developer dashboard.

Important

Ensure that spotifyd-notification.clj is in your path and is executable.

4. Example

[global]
onevent = spotify-notification.clj 12a1d445b4b4a1a4a216508faebb 11b4e44446dda9aea216518fdeba
