TwitterOAuth Service Provider for Laravel 4
===============
A simple Laravel 4 service provider for including the [TwitterOAuth](https://github.com/tijsverkoyen/TwitterOAuth) library.
### Installation
The TwitterOAuth Service Provider can be installed via Composer by requiring the `"philo/laravel-twitter": "dev-master"` package in your project's composer.json.
```php
{
"require": {
"laravel/framework": "4.0.*",
"philo/laravel-twitter": "dev-master"
},
"minimum-stability": "dev"
}
```
Next you will need to publish the package config:
`php artisan config:publish --path=philo/twitter philo/twitter`
You can setup your **CONSUMER_KEY** and **CONSUMER_SECRET** inside `app/config/packages/philo/twitter/config.php`.
```php
'',
'CONSUMER_SECRET' => ''
);
```
Finaly you need to register the service provider and the alias. Look for `providers` inside app/config/app.php register it.
```php
'providers' => array(
// ...
'Philo\Twitter\TwitterServiceProvider',
)
```
And do the same for the alias:
```php
'aliases' => array(
// ...
'Twitter' => 'Philo\Twitter\Facades\Twitter',
)
```
### Usage
In order to access the API you need your user to authorize your application. To do so the user needs to be redirected to Twitter.
```php
// Visit http://site.com/twitter-redirect
Route::get('twitter-redirect', function(){
// Reqest tokens
$tokens = Twitter::oAuthRequestToken();
// Redirect to twitter
Twitter::oAuthAuthenticate(array_get($tokens, 'oauth_token'));
exit;
});
```
Once the user has authorized your app he/she is going to be redirect back to the callback URL you defined in your Twitter application settings.
You need to register that route and catch the verifier token:
```php
// Redirect back from Twitter to http://site.com/twitter-auth
Route::get('/twitter-auth', function(){
// Oauth token
$token = Input::get('oauth_token');
// Verifier token
$verifier = Input::get('oauth_verifier');
// Request access token
$accessToken = Twitter::oAuthAccessToken($token, $verifier);
});
```
Twitter will respond with the information that looks like:
```
array (size=4)
'oauth_token' => string 'WFkvKyUG6K4-Vqntts8U4xQFzNHgNEAFTFMPxHH6fvQYwYsbuu' (length=50)
'oauth_token_secret' => string 'RfVY4hwV7JeKe9WeQqpMUjLqZvKhZuhKp2wmN3MsKM' (length=43)
'user_id' => string '123456789' (length=8)
'screen_name' => string 'Philo01' (length=7)
```
You should store this information in order to access the authorized user in the future.
Please look at the source of `/vendor/tijsverkoyen/TijsVerkoyen/Twitter/Twitter.php` for all available methods.
***Example***
```php
try{
$oAuth = User::find(1); // Get the tokens and twitter user_id you saved in the previous step
// Setup OAuth token and secret
Twitter::setOAuthToken($oAuth->oauth_token);
Twitter::setOAuthTokenSecret($oAuth->oauth_token_secret);
// Get tweets
$timeline = Twitter::statusesUserTimeline($oAuth->user_id);
// Display tweets
dd($timeline);
} catch(Exception $e) {
// Error
echo $e->getMessage();
}
```
