Backbone API : Twitter

Backbone.js helper for Twitter requests

Install

Using Bower:

bower install backbone.api.twitter

Dependencies

After the increased security introduced by the Twitter API at v1.1 the plugin cannot operate with just client-side code. Instead it expects a token to already be available either from an authorized user or a bearer token

Usage

The lib exposes methods under the Backbone.API.Twitter namespace and if available will also duplicate to APP.API.Twitter & the Twitter namepsace. In its simplest version (the Twitter namepsace) you can call models/collections/views like in any Backbone.js app:

	var data = new Twitter.Collections.User(null, {user:"tracend", num: 15});
	var view = new Twitter.Views.Stream({el: "#twitterfeed", model: data});
