electron-twitter-oauth

Authenticate your user with OAuth on Twitter in your Electron.js application. It will open a new BrowserWindow on Twitter authentication page, ask to authenticate then send you back the access tokens in the callback.

Note: This code is extracted and adapted to be reused from the Twitter auth part of the awesome surfbirdapp/surfbird application.

Usage

`` bash
npm add --save electron-twitter-oauth


or


yarn add electron-twitter-oauth
`

Then create a new Twitter application on https://apps.twitter.com/app/new and get the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret to be used as shown below.


` js
import {TwitterOAuth} from 'electron-twitter-oauth';

const twitterAuthWindow = new TwitterOAuth({
callbackURL,
consumerKey,
consumerSecret
});

twitterAuthWindow.authenticate((err, token) => {
if (err) {
return console.log(err, err.stack);
}

console.log('Got the token data', token.accessTokenKey, token.accessTokenSecret, token.id_str);
});
``
