Capacitor-twitter NPM

capacitor-twitter

Capacitor plugin to enable some native twitter features such as login, logout and check if whether user is logged in or not.

API

Login
Logout
isLogged

Usage

import { Twitter } from 'capacitor-twitter';
const twitter = new Twitter();

twitter
  .login()
  .then(r => console.log(r)) // { authToken:string, authTokenSecret:string, userName:string, userID:string }
  .catch(err => console.log(err));

twitter
  .isLogged()
  .then(r => console.log(r)) // returns { in: boolean, out: boolean }
  .catch(err => console.log(err));

twitter.logout();

iOS setup

ionic start my-cap-app --capacitor
cd my-cap-app
npm install —-save capacitor-twitter
mkdir www && touch www/index.html
npx cap add ios
add the consumer keys at capacitor.config.json

{
 …
  "plugins": {
   "TwitterPlugin": {
      "consumerKey": "xxx",
      "consumerSecret": "yyy"
    }
  }
…
}

npx cap open ios
sign your app at xcode (general tab)
add a new url type at Xcode (info tab) and make sure the url scheme follows the format twitterkit-your_consumer_api_key (grab a key at twitter developer site)
also at twitter developer site, add a new callback url in the same format: twitterkit-your_consumer_api_key

Then you should be set to go. Run ionic cap run ios --livereload to start the server and play it through xcode

Important Notice: every time you change a native code you may need to clean the cache (Product > Clean build folder) and then run the app again.

Android setup

ionic start my-cap-app --capacitor
cd my-cap-app
npm install —-save capacitor-twitter
mkdir www && touch www/index.html
npx cap add android
add the consumer keys at capacitor.config.json

{
 …
  "plugins": {
   "TwitterPlugin": {
      "consumerKey": "xxx",
      "consumerSecret": "yyy"
    }
  }
…
}

at twitter developer site, add this callback url: twittersdk://
[extra step] in android case we need to tell Capacitor to initialise the plugin:

on your MainActivity.java file add import io.stewan.capacitor.twitter.TwitterPlugin; and then inside the init callback add(TwitterPlugin.class);

Now you should be set to go. Try ionic cap run android --livereload to start the server and play/debug it through Android Studio

Important Notice: every time you change a native code you may need to clean the cache (Build > Clean Project | Build > Rebuild Project) and then run the app again.
