twauthorize

twauthorize

This is a fork of login-with-twitter, adding authorization, so you end up able to do things with the user's twitter account, not just having the user identified.

One should perhaps use passport + oauthorize, but I wanted something smaller and easier for me to understand, for now.

install

npm install twauthorize

Usage

For now, see the test/server.js

Testing

Step 1. Register a Twitter App

If you don't already have one, go to https://apps.twitter.com/app/new

The name needs to be unique across Twitter, and the callback URL can be anything, eg https://example.com/twitter/callback. It's not actually used, because we override it at runtime.

Then click on then "Keys and Access Tokens", to get the "Consumer Key (API Key)" and "Consumer Secret (API Secret)".

Record these values in a file, something like this:

cat <<_END > .secret.json
{
   "consumerKey": "E1f6Z48489494wsBGJalc1v5gl",
   "consumerSecret": "HjlcC46C2h242342534534545EPzEcTRIndBEusZ5aIgYgEmHmmu",
}
_END

... or otherwise make sure they get to our constructor.

Step 2.

Now you can run the tests:

npm test

It'll tell you to visit a URL. Do that. You should see Twitter asking if it's okay to authorize your app. Say yes and the test should complete successfully.
