Getting Started

1. npm install
2. Duplicate the file named .env_template and rename it to .env. The following variables are required:

Variable name	Description
BACKEND_API_BASEURL	URL to the server handling Spotify's token requests, e.g. http://localhost:4000. Can be left empty if not needed during debugging. (Minimal server code is available here)

3. Build the project with npm run build:dev or npm run build:dev -- --watch.
4. To test your changes:
   • Create a symbolic link inside Wallpaper Engine's projects folder pointing to the build directory:
     mklink /D "WALLPAPER_ENGINE_ROOT\projects\myprojects\aCAV-dev" "REPO_ROOT\dist"
   • Launch Wallpaper Engine and open the new wallpaper.
   • Set up a CEF devtools port in Wallpaper Engine's settings, e.g. port 10000.
   • Open your browser and go to e.g. http://localhost:10000.
