Usage
Create a .env file in the root folder with the following info. I know some info may seem redundant, but it is to ensure nothing is hard-coded. Make sure to change it to your information:
TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY=YOUR-TWITTER-CONSUMER-KEY
TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET=YOUR-TWITTER-CONSUMER-SECRET
TWITTER_TOKEN_KEY=YOUR-TWITTER-TOKEN-KEY
TWITTER_TOKEN_SECRET=YOUR-TWITTER-TOKEN-SECRET
TWITTER_FETCH_USER_TWEETS=comma,separated,list,of,@screennames (without the @),to,follow
OWNER_SCREEN_NAME=DISCORD-SERVER-OWNER-TWITTER-@SCREENNAME
OWNER_WEBHOOK_URL=NOTIFICATION-CHANNEL-WEBHOOK-URL
GAMING_WEBHOOK=GAMING-NEWS-CHANNEL-WEBHOOK-URL
Optional: Open index.js and tweak the look of the embeds by adjusting this codeblock (a full list of commands can be found in /classes/messageBuilder.js):
const embed = new MessageBuilder()
// Sets the embed color to Twitter blue.
.setColor('#1DA1F2')
// Tweet Author (name, link, profile pic)
.setAuthor(`${tweet.user.name} (@${tweet.user.screen_name})`, `https://twitter.com/${tweet.user.screen_name}`, `${tweet.user.profile_image_url_https}`)
// Embed title with clickable link to tweet through .setURL
.setTitle(`A New Tweet from ${tweet.user.name}!`)
.setURL(`https://twitter.com/${tweet.user.screen_name}/status/${tweet.id_str}`)
// Time the tweet was made in human-readable format.
.setFooter(moment(tweet.created_at, 'ddd MMM DD HH:mm:ss Z YYYY').local().format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm a'))
// Check if tweet has extended text or not so it doesn't truncate
if(tweet.extended_tweet)
embed.setDescription(tweet.extended_tweet.full_text)
else embed.setDescription(tweet.text)
// Set the thumbnail to the Twitter profile pic when no image is present
if(!tweet.entities.media) embed.setThumbnail(tweet.user.profile_image_url_https)
// Only send image data when there is an image/video/gif present.
if (tweet.entities.media) embed.setImage(tweet.entities.media[0].media_url)
