##Overview
This is a sample project that I put together to learn more about OAuth, Node.js and Twitter's API.
For the time being, it's up and running at: http://friendline.azurewebsites.net. I reserve the right to take it down without notice if it starts costing me any significant money for hosting.
This is a basic friend/follower info browser. I wrote from the ground up (not using express or connect) so that I'd have to understand more of the low-level interactions between node and the clients. Session management is a simple cookie(rid initially, then twauth). In the current design, the accessTokenSecret is held in-memory on the server, so client logins will expire if the server process is recycled.
##Dependencies
- cookies: ~0.4.0
- node-twitter-api: ~1.1.3
- nconf: ~0.6.9
##How do I get this working?
First, you'll need to create an App over at dev.twitter.com. Once you have an App consumerKey and consumerSecret, copy settings_sample.json to settings.json and enter the key and secret in the appropriate locations.
You'll also need to edit 'app:callbackUri' in the settings file to reflect where you're going to run. If you're running local, just use 'http://localhost:1337/twauth'.
Launch locally by running node server.js then open your browser to http://localhost:1337/
