How to set up

1. Ensure that Gulp is installed
2. Log in to Spotify Dashboard and create a new client
3. Enter your Client ID and Client Secret in src/js/_config.js
4. In terminal, navigate to your cloned directory and install the npm packages: npm install babel-core babel-preset-env babel-register babelify browser-sync browserify browsersync eslint gulp gulp-autoprefixer gulp-babel gulp-concat gulp-cssnano gulp-notify gulp-plumber gulp-rename gulp-sass gulp-sourcemaps gulp-uglify vinyl-buffer vinyl-source-stream node-vibrant --save-dev
5. Once installed, enter gulp to run Gulp
6. You'll need to save a SCSS and JS file in the /src/ folder to initially compile the code and create a /dist/ folder.

Notes

I originally built this for personal use and decided to share the source code, so things could very well be broken and/or be done better.
