Documentation

No documentation yet, but you can look at the code of iTunes-Discord integration that is a great example of the usages possible with iTunes-bridge. There is also an example.js that you can run.

const iTunes = require('./itunes-bridge');
var currentTrack = iTunes.getCurrentTrack();

switch(currentTrack.playerState){
    case "playing": {
        var exampleMsg = "iTunes is currently playing " + currentTrack.name + " by " + currentTrack.artist + ' from the album "' + currentTrack.album + '". This song is ' + currentTrack.duration + 's long and will finish in ' + currentTrack.remainingTime+'s';
        var exampleMsg2 = "You have " + iTunes.getPlaylistCount('/Users/steve/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.xml') + " playlists in your library and " + iTunes.getTrackCount('/Users/steve/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.xml') + " tracks!";
        console.log(exampleMsg);
        console.log(exampleMsg2);
        break;
    }
    case "paused": {
        var exampleMsg = 'iTunes is currently paused';
        console.log(exampleMsg);
        break;
    }
    case "stopped":
    case "not running": {
        var exampleMsg = "iTunes is not playing at the moment.";
        console.log(exampleMsg);
        break;
