get twitter tokens

Use with twitter or twit package. Twitter tokens is basically an object of twitter tokens exported from environment. At some point of twitter api usage I become tired to copy-pasted tokens.js file in a lot of my projects, so I decided to extract this file to separate npm package.

You need to get Twitter API tokens first to be able to use this package.

Install

npm install --save twitter-tokens

Usage

import Twitter from 'twitter'; // or 'twit'. it works with both of them

/* Before:
const tokens = {
  consumer_key:        process.env.TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY,
  consumer_secret:     process.env.TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET,
  access_token:        process.env.TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_KEY,
  access_token_key:    process.env.TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_KEY,
  access_token_secret: process.env.TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET
}); */

// Now:
import tokens from 'twitter-tokens';

const client = new Twitter(tokens);
const params = { screen_name: 'nodejs' };
client.get('statuses/user_timeline', params, (err, tweets) => {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(tweets);
});
