= Holiday Tweets

This is a tiny Twitter aggregator app built around the Retweet Sinatra app template for Calypso's holiday party. Uses the Twitter Streaming API. No push tech on the frontend though, just using simple / stupid Ajax polling for now.

== Configuration

Dependencies and all configuration is done in environment.rb. Your database and the search keywords are set up here. DataMapper will use sqlite3 by default. Tests use the sqlite3-memory adapter (no configuration needed).

Add your controller actions in application.rb. Views for these actions are placed in the views directory. Static files, including a stock stylesheet, go in the public directory. Models go in the lib directory and are auto-loaded. 

== Testing

Rspec is included in the template. Add your specs in spec; just require spec_helper.rb to pre-configure the test environment. To run the specs:

  rake spec

== Getting Started

  rake db:migrate

  rake twitter:update

  ruby tweet_streamer.rb start

  ruby application.rb

== Manual Status Updates

Run rake twitter:update to update the cached tweets if you'd rather not use the Streaming API. You can schedule this as a cron job to fire every few minutes if you like.
