Configuration Files

To avoid any errors, here are the (2) important files before running the application for development.

1. Create a config.ini and add the following lines of codes:

   [TOKENS]
   consumer_key: consumer key
   consumer_secret: consumer secret
   access_key: access key
   access_secret: access secret

   Provide your own keys by signing in to your Twitter account and creating an application on Twitter Account Management.

2. Create a constants.py and add the following lines of codes:

   import configparser
   import os
   
   config = configparser.ConfigParser()
   config.read(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'config.ini'))
   
   CONSUMER_KEY = config['TOKENS']['consumer_key']
   CONSUMER_SECRET = config['TOKENS']['consumer_secret']
   ACCESS_KEY = config['TOKENS']['access_key']
   ACCESS_SECRET = config['TOKENS']['access_secret']

   Then save these files to src/resources directory and you are good to go.

   CAVEAT: Never let this files be part of your commit --I warned you :)
