Configuration

There are some variables which you can modify in order to change the playback text:

let g:vim_spotify_playback_pattern = "{playbackIcon}{artist} - {title}"
let g:vim_spotify_icon_play = "⏯️"
let g:vim_spotify_icon_pause = "⏸️"

g:vim_spotify_playback_pattern variable has three placeholders which can change however you like:

• let g:vim_spotify_playback_pattern = "{playbackIcon} > {artist} - {title}"
• let g:vim_spotify_playback_pattern = "{artist} {title} "
• let g:vim_spotify_playback_pattern = "{artist}:{title} | {playbackIcon} 🎶"

Note: Default values are using fontawesome icons, so you might want to install vim-devicons

Integration with lightline.vim

This plugin has a SpotifyPlayback function, which returns information about currently playing song on spotify. In order to show this information in the statusline, add a component function to your lightline configuration:

let g:lightline = {
      \ 'active': {
      \   'left': [ [ 'mode', 'paste', 'spotify'],
      \             [ 'readonly', 'filename', 'modified'] ]
      \ },
      \ 'component_function': {
      \   'spotify': 'SpotifyPlayback',
      \ },
      \ }
