Oh well, it was good while it lasted; unforunately Twitter's latest round of API nerfing has broken twitty.js forever.
The code will be preserved here for historical purposes only.
Very simple, no-frills method of accessing a user's timeline in the browser. For displaying "latest tweet" lists and the like.
No dependencies.
var twitty = new Twitty();
twitty.getUserTimeline('jaz303', function(tweets) {
for (var i = 0; i < tweets.length; i++) {
var tweet = tweets[i];
// Each tweet is a JSON object as returned by the standard Twitter JSON API.
// The prototype is augmented with a few extra convenience methods:
// Return tweet text with URLs and screen-names converted to hyperlinks:
tweet.linkify();
// Return the permalink to this tweet:
tweet.permaLink();
// Return Twitter intent links for the following actions:
tweet.replyLink();
tweet.retweetLink();
tweet.favouriteLink();
// Returns an English approximation of the relative time of this tweet:
tweet.relativeTimeInWords();
}
});
