> Twitter strategy for Überauth.

_Note_: Sessions are required for this strategy.

## Installation

1. Setup your application at [Twitter Developers](https://dev.twitter.com/).

2. Add `:ueberauth_twitter` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
[
{:ueberauth_twitter, "~> 0.4"}
]
end
```

3. Add Twitter to your Überauth configuration:

```elixir
config :ueberauth, Ueberauth,
providers: [
twitter: {Ueberauth.Strategy.Twitter, []}
]
```

4. Update your provider configuration:

```elixir
config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Twitter.OAuth,
consumer_key: System.get_env("TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY"),
consumer_secret: System.get_env("TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET")
```

5. Include the Überauth plug in your controller:

```elixir
defmodule MyApp.AuthController do
use MyApp.Web, :controller
plug Ueberauth
...
end
```

6. Create the request and callback routes if you haven't already:

```elixir
scope "/auth", MyApp do
pipe_through :browser

get "/:provider", AuthController, :request
get "/:provider/callback", AuthController, :callback
end
```

7. Your controller needs to implement callbacks to deal with `Ueberauth.Auth`
and `Ueberauth.Failure` responses.

For an example implementation see the [Überauth Example](https://github.com/ueberauth/ueberauth_example) application.

## Calling

Depending on the configured url you can initiate the request through:

/auth/twitter

## Development mode

As noted when registering your application on the Twitter Developer site, you need to explicitly specify the `oauth_callback` url. While in development, this is an example url you need to enter.

Website - http://127.0.0.1
Callback URL - http://127.0.0.1:4000/auth/twitter/callback
