apostrophe-twitter-widgets

apostrophe-twitter-widgets is a module for the Apostrophe content management system. apostrophe-twitter-widgets lets you add a Twitter feed to any content area created with Apostrophe.

Requirements

Due to Twitter's API access policies, you must register a Twitter "app" to use this module. The consumerKey and consumerSecret, accessToken and accessTokenSecret options must be set when initializing the module. After registering your app on dev.twitter.com, click "create my access token." Then refresh the page as Twitter usually fails to display the token on the first try. nodemon

Setup

Adding this module is as simple as:

npm install apostrophe-twitter-widgets

And in your app.js file:

  modules: {
    ... other modules ...
    'apostrophe-twitter-widgets': {
      consumerKey: 'get',
      consumerSecret: 'your',
      accessToken: 'own',
      accessTokenSecret: 'credentials'
    },
    ... yet more modules ...
  }

Now it will be included in the default set of controls. If you are setting the controls option on your areas, the widget's name is twitter.

To insert it as a singleton, you might write:

{{ apos.singleton(data.page, 'twitter', 'apostrophe-twitter', { limit: 3 }) }}

If you want the same feed to appear on many pages, you might use the global doc:

{{ apos.singleton(data.global, 'twitter', 'apostrophe-twitter', { limit: 3 }) }}

Options

limit

The limit option controls the number of tweets to be displayed, at most. The limit option defaults to 3.

aposTwitterReady

Once the tweets have been fully loaded into the template, a jQuery event called 'aposTwitterReady' fires on the body element. If you are manipulating the tweets on the front-end, you will want to listen for aposTwitterReady, rather than other DOM events. If you don't, the tweets may take a few seconds to load and your wonderful functions will fire before the tweets are accessible.

You can then target the twitter widget easily. For example:

  $('body').on('aposTwitterReady', '.apos-widget', function() {
    $widget = $(this);
    $widget.find('.apos-tweets').makeThemMoreAwesome();
  });

Enjoy!
