Example Implementation

Android

//app.ts or main.ts
import * as app from "application";
if (app.android) {
    const TNSTwitter = require("nativescript-twitter").TNSTwitter;
    TNSTwitter.init("key", "secret");
}

IOS

Note Twitter Kit looks for a URL scheme in the format twitterkit-<consumerKey>, where consumerKey is your application’s Twitter API key, e.g. twitterkit-dwLf79lNQfsJ.

In your app’s Info.plist, add URL Schemes by adding code below after <dict> Source

// Info.plist
<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
<array>
  <dict>
    <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
    <array>
      <string>twitterkit-<consumerKey></string>
    </array>
  </dict>
</array>
<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
<array>
    <string>twitter</string>
    <string>twitterauth</string>
</array

//custom-app-delegate.ts
import * as utils from "utils/utils";
declare const UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, Twitter;
export class CustomAppDelegate extends UIResponder implements UIApplicationDelegate {
    public static ObjCProtocols = [UIApplicationDelegate];
    applicationDidFinishLaunchingWithOptions(application, launchOptions) {
        utils.ios.getter(Twitter,Twitter.sharedInstance).startWithConsumerKeyConsumerSecret("key" ,"secret");
        return true;
    }
    applicationOpenURLOptions(application, url, options) {
        return utils.ios.getter(Twitter,Twitter.sharedInstance).applicationOpenURLOptions(application, url, options);
    }
}

//app.ts or main.ts
import * as app from "application";
if (app.ios) {
    app.ios.delegate = require('./custom-app-delegate').CustomAppDelegate;
}

IMPORTANT: Make sure you include xmlns:twitter="nativescript-twitter" on the Page tag

<twitter:TNSTwitterButton id="twitter"/>

Listen when user auth is successful or fails

import * as frame from "ui/frame";
 frame.topmost().getViewById('twitter').on('loginStatus', (args) => {
        if (args.object.get("value") === 'failed') {
            console.log(args.object.get("message"))
        } else {
            TNSTwitter.getCurrentUser(args.object.get("userID")).then(
                (user) => {
                    console.dump(user)
                }, err => {
                    console.dump(err)
                })
        }

    });

Send api request

import { CustomApiService } from "nativescript-twitter"
const api = new CustomApiService();
    api.makeRequest("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/account/verify_credentials.json", "get")
        .then(
        data => {
            console.log(data)
        }, err => {
            console.log(err.message)
        });

Angular

import { registerElement } from "nativescript-angular/element-registry";
registerElement("TNSTwitterButton", () => require("nativescript-twitter").TNSTwitterButton);

<TNSTwitterButton id="twitter"/>
