**Electron wrapper around YouTube Music featuring:**

## Dev
```sh
git clone https://github.com/th-ch/youtube-music
cd youtube-music
yarn
yarn start
```
## Build your own plugins
Using plugins, you can:
- manipulate the app - the `BrowserWindow` from electron is passed to the plugin handler
- change the front by manipulating the HTML/CSS
### Creating a plugin
Create a folder in `plugins/YOUR-PLUGIN-NAME`:
- if you need to manipulate the BrowserWindow, create a file `back.js` with the following template:
```node
module.exports = win => {
// win is the BrowserWindow object
};
```
- if you need to change the front, create a file `front.js` with the following template:
```node
module.exports = () => {
// This function will be called as a preload script
// So you can use front features like `document.querySelector`
};
```
### Common use cases
- injecting custom CSS: create a `style.css` file in the same folder then:
```node
const path = require("path");
const { injectCSS } = require("../utils");
// back.js
module.exports = win => {
injectCSS(win.webContents, path.join(__dirname, "style.css"));
};
```
- changing the HTML:
```node
// front.js
module.exports = () => {
// Remove the login button
document.querySelector(".sign-in-link.ytmusic-nav-bar").remove();
};
```
- communicating between the front and back: can be done using the ipcMain module from electron. See `utils.js` file and example in `navigation` plugin.
## Build
```sh
yarn build
```
Builds the app for macOS, Linux, and Windows, using [electron-builder](https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder).
## Tests
```sh
yarn test
```
Uses [Playwright](https://playwright.dev/) to test the app.
