Wrapping your app with a Provider

in order to use the Spotify API you are required to send an access token (read more here) with every single http request, but the SpotifyApiContext provider does that for you!

Import

import { SpotifyApiContext } from 'react-spotify-api'

Wrap your app with it (all react-spotify-api components must have a SpotifyApiContext.Provider parent)

<SpotifyApiContext.Provider value={token}>
    <App />
</SpotifyApiContext.Provider>

You can now use all components without worrying about getting your access token!

Component usage

import React, { Component } from 'react'

import { SpotifyApiContext, Artist } from 'react-spotify-api'

function Example(props) {
    return (
        <SpotifyApiContext.Provider value={props.token}>
            <Artist id={props.id}>
                {(artist, loading, error) =>
                    artist ? (
                        <div>
                            <h1>{artist.name}</h1>
                            <ul>
                                {artist.genres.map(genre => (
                                <li key={genre}>{genre}</li>
                                ))}
                            </ul>
                        </div>
                    ) : null
                }
            </Artist>
        </SpotifyApiContext.Provider> 
    )
}

Hooks usage (assuming the ExampleHooks component is wrapped with the SpotifyApiContext.Provider)

import React from 'react'

import { useArtist } from 'react-spotify-api'

function ExampleHooks(props) {
    const {data, loading, error} = useArtist(props.id);

    return (
        artist ? (
            <div>
                <h1>{artist.name}</h1>
                <ul>
                    {artist.genres.map(genre => (
                        <li key={genre}>{genre}</li>
                    ))}
                </ul>
            </div>
        ) : null
    )
}
