fetchGenresRequest
fetchSongByIdRequest
fetchAlbumByIdRequest
fetchArtistByIdRequest
fetchAlbumsAndSongsTopChartRequest
searchRequest
getUserPlaylistsRequest
getPlaylistInfoRequest
getMultiplePlaylistInfoRequest

Good To Know

In order to make Apple Music Requests you need to have a Developer Token. Read more about it here After that you can use this script to generate the JWT token for you.

Usage

import MusicPlayer, { MusicPlayerEvents, AppleMusicRequests, IPlayerState } from 'rn-music-player';

// ...
useEffect(() => {
  MusicPlayer.play();
  MusicPlayerEvents.addListener('onSongChange', (playerState: IPlayerState) => {
    // handle song change
  });
  return () => {
    MusicPlayerEvents.removeAllListeners('onSongChange');
  };
}, []);
