rails_twitter_stream's Introduction

Rails Twitter Stream

Intro

This app uses Twitter Streaming api and 'tweetstream' gem to get live tweets results.

Installation

1. configure your tokens in /app/models/tweets.rb - this app uses dotenv gem (https://github.com/bkeepers/dotenv). Include '.env' file in your root directory, and save twitter tokens (https://apps.twitter.com/). Don't forget to include .env in your .gitignore file. 2. 'bundle install' 3. 'rails s' 4. Visit root page (localhost:3000) to see list of tweets and counts. 5. Note - the app is set to receive 1 min of streamed tweet results. If you want to change default min, go to /app/controllers/tweets_controller.rb and change min number in make_stream_request method. If streaming stops suddenly, the app would display saved results so far(tweet words saved in instance variable of Tweet model -> @store, @popular).

Improvements needed

1. Test Coverage. 2. Refactoring 3. Model, Controller renaming (implemented client for api request not related to tweet itself. Tweet -> TweetClient) 4. Takes too much time loading the results page. Live update and visualization of data would be great to implement.

Gems

1. dotenv-rails 2. awesome-print 3. tweetstream 4. eventmachine 5. pry-byebug (for dev, test only)
