Customize Posts

The application use Asvice Slip API to generate random advice posts. If you want to use another API to get posts to tweet then go to app.js file and change this default code to your way. By the end you have to store your post content to advice.data

let advice = new EventEmitter();
    request({ url: "https://api.adviceslip.com/advice", json: true }, function(
      error,
      response,
      body
    ) {
      console.log("error:", error); // Print the error if one occurred
      console.log("statusCode:", response && response.statusCode); // Print the response status code if a response was received
      console.log("body:", body.slip.advice); // Print the HTML for the Google homepage.
      advice.data = body.slip.advice;
      advice.emit("update");
    });
    advice.on("update", function() {
      console.log(advice.data);
    });
