Lambda Twitter Blog Poster
=================
> Automagically post to Twitter timeline about new blog post using Go on AWS Lambda.
**TL;DR** Events are generated using webhooks - Gitlab in this case because that's where I store my site. On specific commit events (the commits contain a [NEW POST] block), a Twitter status is pushed to my timeline.
### Developing
#### Requirements
- [Serverless](https://serverless.com/)
- [Go](https://golang.org/)
#### Getting started
1. Create a `env.yml` file in the root of the project.
2. Declare the following variables and values in the file -
```yaml
secrets:
HOOK_SECRET: **
API_KEY: **
API_SECRET: **
ACCESS_TOKEN: **
ACCESS_SECRET: **
BASE_URL: **
```
### Deploy
1. To deploy, use `sls deploy -v` **OR** `make deploy`.
2. Once deployed, copy the API Gateway URL printed on the console.
### Create a webhook
*Only GitLab is supported at the moment*
1. Navigate to the repo for which a webhook will be triggered.
2. From the panel on the left, go to `Settings > Integrations` to create a new webhook.
3. Paste the URL from the last section into the `URL` field and the secret from the `serverless.env.yml` file in to the `Secret Token` field.
4. Check `Push Events` under `Trigger`.
5. Click on `Add webhook` to save.
### Triggering the function
1. To trigger a new post to Twitter on new post publishes, commit your new posts in the form -
```
[NEW POST]
The title of the post
permalink-of-the-post
```
2. Profit!
