I have a node server that is running. and it sends a post to a Twitter Timeline, which I have an Ionic/Angular Application the consumes the Node Server and sends the message.
however, the problem is that in the node server my user's Twitter account info is hard coded and I would like to know how I can send the user's details that I get from the Twitter connect Plugin.
here is my node sever
const express = require('express');
const Twitter = require('twit');
const app = express();
const client = new Twitter({
consumer_key: '...',
consumer_secret: '...',
access_token: '...',
access_token_secret: '...',
});
app.use(require('cors')());
app.use(require('body-parser').json());
app.post('/post_tweet', (req, res) => {
tweet = req.body;
client
.post(`statuses/update`, tweet)
.then(tweeting => {
console.log(tweeting);
res.send(tweeting);
})
.catch(error => {
res.send(error);
});
});
app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server running'));
twitter service in my angular/ionic app
export class TwitterserviceService {
api_url = 'http://localhost:3000';
constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }
tweet(tweetdata: string) {
return this.http.post<any>(`${this.api_url}/post_tweet/`, {status: tweetdata})
.pipe(map(tweet => {
alert("tweet posted")
return tweet;
}));
}
}
and here is my angular Code that sends a tweet to the node server
sendTweet() {
this.api.tweet('sent from phone')
.pipe(first())
.subscribe(
data => {
console.log('yes')
},
error => {
'failed'
});
}
connect plugin
twitterLogin() {
this.twitter.login().then((res: any) => {
localStorage.setItem('twitterLogin', "true");
this.firebaseService.twitterDetail(this.userId, res);
this.twitterUser = true;
if(this.twitterUser == true){
this.twitter.showUser()
.then(user => {
console.log("User: " + user +
'username ' + res.username+ " " + user.username);
});
}
}, (err: any) => {
alert('error: ' + err);
});
}
