Usage

First, install twitter.js from the command line:

npm i js-twitter --save

From there, the first step is, of course, to make a Twitter application.

Once you have your application's credentials, require twitter.js and create a client object with the following:

const Twitter = require('js-twitter');
let client = new Twitter({
  consumer_key: "Your application's consumer key here",
  consumer_secret: "Your application's consumer secret here",
  token: "Your application's token here",
  token_secret: "Your application's token secret here"
});

Once you have that set up, you can post a tweet.

client.postTweet("Hello world!");

twitter.js is promise-based, so this postTweet method will return a Tweet that you can do all sorts of fun stuff with. For instance:

client.postTweet("Hello there!")
.then(tweet => {
  tweet.reply("General Kenobi!");
})

Or whatever floats your boat.
