# Social Media Alexa Skill
An Alexa skill for the Amazon Echo – it reads trending topics from Social Media. Generated by [generator-alexa-skill](https://github.com/cameronhunter/generator-alexa-skill).
## Example phrases
```
Alexa, ask Social Media what's trending
Alexa, ask Social Media what's trending on Twitter
Alexa, ask Social Media what's trending in San Francisco
```
See `model/UTTERANCES` for more example phrases.
## Development
### Setup
You must add a file `config/twitter.config.js` which exports an object containing your API keys for the Twitter API.
```javascript
export default {
consumerKey: '',
consumerSecret: '',
accessToken: '',
accessTokenSecret: ''
}
```
### Test
```bash
npm test
```
### Package
```bash
npm run package
```
This creates `build/package.zip` containing the compiled skill - this can be uploaded directly to AWS Lambda. It exposes a single function `index.hander`. Skill utterances defined in the `model` directory are expanded and output to `build/UTTERANCES`.
### Deploy
```bash
npm run deploy
```
If you configure the project with AWS credentials then you can build, test, package and deploy the project with a single command. You can check it out in the [AWS console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/lambda/home?region=us-east-1#/functions/social-media-alexa-skill).
