hubiquitus-twitter-samples

These few samples shows what you can do with tweets and Hubiquitus ...

Getting started

Install node.js and install dependencies

cd *path*/hubiquitus-twitter-samples
npm install

Edit twitConf.js and fill the Twitter api keys. To get those you need to create an app at https://apps.twitter.com/.

var T = new Twit({
    consumer_key: "...",
    consumer_secret: "...",
    access_token: "...",
    access_token_secret: "..."
});

Sample 1 :

To launch, type :

node sample1.js

When receiving a message, the tweetProcessor actor displays the tweet in log.

Sample 2 :

tweetProcessor is now a channel. tweetDisplayActor and tweetCounterActor are two actors subscribed to the tweetProcessor channel. Thus, any message sent to tweetProcessor will be received by both actors.

tweetCounterActor counts tweets received and displays a counter.

Sample 3 :

A webbapp has been added. The gateway.js allow hubiquitus clients to connect our hubiquitus container. The gateway.js file also contains a webserver (with the express module).

The web page connects with the hAPI JS (hubiquitus.js file). See hubiquitus-functions.js for the js code used to connect our hubiquitus actors.

The tweetCounterActor actor sends its count to the webpage client (twitCounterWeb). When clicking the reset button, a reset message is sent to tweetCounterActor.
