twit-wrapper


Highly opinionated Twitter API client for Node.js

This is a small heavily opinionated utility wrapper library around twit.
It is implemented with facade pattern which translates twit library's existing interface into simplified one.

#### Prerequisite

To interact with Twitter API, head over to Twitter Developer Platform and create new application.
Once you are done filling out information, you need to generate four access tokens:

- Consumer API Key
- Consumer API Secret Key
- Access Token
- Access Token Secret

Install

``shell
npm i twit-wrapper
`

Usage:

Only most commonly used function for interacting with Twitter API are implemented:

- postTweet(msg)
- getTweets(keyword, fromDate, lang = 'en', maxResults = 100)

`js
const TwitterClient = require('twit-wrapper');
const twitterClient = new TwitterClient(
consumerAPIKey,
consumerAPISecretKey,
accessToken,
accessTokenSecret,
);

// post new tweet
try {
const msgToPost = 'Post a test message';
const postedMsg = await twitterClient.postTweet(msgToPost);
console.log(postedMsg);
} catch (e) {
console.error(e);
}

// search twitter for all tweets containing the word 'javascript' since January 1, 2017
try {
const searchedTweets = await twitterClient.getTweets('javascript', '2017-01-01');
console.log(searchedTweets);
} catch (e) {
console.error(e);
}
