Spotify Authorization seems to not work

Hi guys

I'm from Pod 2.1.1 and I was checking out other explorer projects in retro week.

You project sounds really cool, I tried to give it a go! I found the following issues which led to the app not being authorized by spotify:

• There wasn't an example secrets file to use, but I guessed how to make it. I made a pull request if you want to add the example file you mentioned back in (assuming my one is OK). Here is my PR: https://github.com/larkinds/Spotify.MLH/pull/42
• Even so, it seems the client_id isn't passed to Spotify
• I hacked the redirectURI to include the client_id, but then when Spotify authoirzes the app, this error happens: Error exchanging authorization code for access token: An authentication error occurred while communicating with Spotify's Web API. Details: invalid_client.

It's just my notes and I'm going through the retro week tasks, so no worries really, I think it's a nice project and you should submit it to the VS Code Extensions, once newbs like me can get it working easy!

Ah, found the issue. Your template file doesn't export its variables, so if you open extension.ts you'll probably see something like this:

This import issue leads to client_id becoming undefined, which is why it's not sent in the web requests. Using the proper template should resolve the error.

Thanks for filing this issue, I added the proper secrets template to the repository.

Hey @jkmartindale thanks for checking it out! I see , I learnt something with the "exports" thing then :) Thanks a lot!
