Installation

API

`TwitterComponent = require('twitter-component`)

Import TwitterComponent component class.

`tweet = new TwitterComponent([opts])`

Create a new instance of the twitter component. opts is an options objec that can have the following options:

{
  placeholder: true // Enables placeholder text while loading tweet cards
}

`tweet.render(tweetURL)`

Returns a div that, when mounted into the page, will be the target of twttr.widgets.createTweet. Mounting the DOM node returned by .render will also load platform.twitter.com/widgets.js into the page, and any other side-effects and visitor tracking implications that script brings along with it.

Twitter employees: Please release a module version of platform.twitter.com/widgets.js because this took 5 hours of freetime™ of just trying to get caught up with your ever changing API and widget ecosystem.

Native DOM component model powered by nanocomponent and nanomorph.
