tweet-parser
A JS module for parsing tweets into an array of entities.
For example, given a tweet with this content:
Migrating from Angular to React- an honest case study on @songkick by @Jack_Franklin. Watch here- http://bit.ly/2gD80W1 #reactlondon
We get an array of entities:
type: 'TEXT' content: 'Migrating from Angular to React- an honest case study on ' type: 'USER' content: '@songkick' url: 'https://www.twitter.com/songkick' type: 'TEXT' content: ' by ' type: 'USER' content: '@Jack_Franklin' url: 'https://www.twitter.com/Jack_Franklin' type: 'TEXT' content: '. Watch here- ' type: 'LINK' content: 'http://bit.ly/2gD80W1' url: 'http://bit.ly/2gD80W1' type: 'TEXT' content: ' ' type: 'HASH' content: '#reactlondon' url: 'https://twitter.com/search?q=%23reactlondon'
Why?
A side project I was working on had to render tweets from an API and I wanted a nice way of being able to style different parts of the tweet based on if they were a link, hashtag, user reference or just plain text.
Installation and Usage
$ npm install tweet-parser
$ yarn add tweet-parser
const result = ; console// [ { type: 'TEXT', content: 'My fun tweet' } ]
