What is this repository for?

This extends the npm twit module.
Tweets authors/users are stored in a mongo database. Users can be favorited and added to the follow list or blocked.

The main FmeTwitter object is instatiated with a mongo database and the keys object which corropsond to the format needed for NPM Twit.

Once institaed you can start a stream after you load up IDS and Filter words you want the stream to filter on.

fmeTwitter.adaptiveFilter <string []> is a string array of words you want watch on the twitter stream.. ie. $ibm if you want to follow IBM stock for instance.

fmeTwitter.users.addImportant(id:number) is is the twitter ID of the user and will add the user to the importnat list for inclusion the following ids.

fmeTwitter.user.addBlock(id:number) will add the user to the blocked user list.

The users are stored in a mongo collection twitter_users and is read when the fme-twitter object is constructed.

To start a stream use fmeTwitter.startStream()
to get twitter data: fmeTwitter.stream.on("message" (message:tweet) => {do something with the message});

if your twitter app keys are setup to allow writing you can write via the twitter account fmeTwitter.send(message:string)
