ng-twitter

Angular directive tweets display.

Idea is to provide a tweet listing for you website.

I have made some tests using angular http service to query Twitter API (authentication, query) and it works. But at the end , I have faced CORS issues, and it was just working on localhost.

So one thing you need to do on your own is the server side.

Installation

Using npm:

npm install ng-twitter

How to use it

You should already have script required for Angular, note sanitize module use.

<script type="text/javascript" src="angular.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="angular-sanitize.min.js"></script>

to the list above, you should add:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ng-twitter.min.css">

<script type="text/javascript" src="ng-twitter.min.js"></script>

Then, inject ngTwitter in your application module:

angular.module('myApp', ['ngTwitter']);

and then just add an div with tweets directive name attribute, hashtag scope variable attribute.

<div tweets hashtag="hashtag" button="true" count="15" refresh="60"/>

'hashtag' is your default hashtag search value.

$scope.hashtag = 'football';

Attribute

• hashtag: scope hashtag string variable object, default 'football'
• button: show refresh button, default true
• hash: show hash input field, default true
• count: number of tweets to show, default 15
• refresh: refresh time in seconds

Example with all above features:

<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="ctrl">
    <div tweets hashtag="hashtag" hash="true" button="true" count="5" refresh="10"/>
</div>

Customization

If you look at the code, module provide one angular service, here is the service side call with $http. So, for your needs, just play with it.

// TWEETER PROXY SERVICE
.service('twitter', ['$http', function (http) {                        
    return {
            asyncSearch: function(hashtag, since) {
                    var cfg = {        };
                    var paramSince = since ? '&since_id='+ since : '';
                    // should add 'since' but not there because of mock
                    //var queryUrl = '/search?hashtag='+hashtag+paramSince;
                    
                    // YOUR SERVICE CALL : manage auth and search on server side
                    var queryUrl = '/search?hashtag='+hashtag;
                    var promise = http.get(queryUrl, cfg).then(function (response) {
                            return response;
                    });
                    return promise;
            }
    };
}])

Build

You can run the tests by running
