README

A Laravel Wrapper for the Twitter REST API V2 endpoints.

This package is an extension of noweh/twitter-api-v2-php, for a simplified integration in Laravel with the Facades.

Installation

First you need to add the component to your composer.json

composer require noweh/laravel-twitter

Update your packages with composer update or install with composer install.

Laravel uses Package Auto-Discovery, so doesn't require you to manually add the ServiceProvider.

Laravel without auto-discovery

Noweh\Twitter\TwitterServiceProvider::class,

To use the facade, add this in app.php:

'Twitter' => Noweh\Twitter\TwitterFacade::class,

Service Provider

After updating composer, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

Configuration file

Next, you must migrate config :

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Noweh\Twitter\TwitterServiceProvider"

And add your settings in the new file created in config/twitter.php.

To search specific tweets

Example:

use Twitter;

$return = Twitter::tweetSearch()
    ->showMetrics()
    ->addFilterOnLocales(['fr', 'en'])
    ->addFilterOnKeywordOrPhrase(['avengers', 'assemble'], \Noweh\TwitterApi\Client::OPERATORS['AND'])
    ->showUserDetails()
    ->performRequest()
;

To find Twitter Users

findByIdOrUsername() expects either an array, or a string.

You can specify the search mode as a second parameter (\Noweh\TwitterApi\Client::MODES['USERNAME'] OR \Noweh\TwitterApi\Client::MODES['ID'])

Example:

use Twitter;

$return = Twitter::userSearch()
    ->findByIdOrUsername('twitterdev', \Noweh\TwitterApi\Client::MODES['USERNAME'])
    ->performRequest()
;

To Post a new Tweet

Example:

use Twitter;

$return = Twitter::tweet()->performRequest('POST', ['text' => 'This is a test....']);

To Retweet

Example:

$return = Twitter::retweet()->performRequest('POST', ['tweet_id' => $tweet->id]);
