jQuery Twitter Search Plugin

It’s a jQuery plugin only for tweets search. Where you need to implement the layout to display the tweets. Actually, it means that you are free to use your own layout. ;)

Check out on GitHub to see the full documentation github.com/phstc/jquery-twitter.

##Motivation

I worked in a project where I needed to display the last tweets messages containing reference to a website.

I found many jQuery Twitter Plugins, but most of them already worked with searching and displaying the tweets. In the project I mentioned the layout to display the tweets was specific. So I couldn’t use the plugins’ layout.

##What’s the difference

The available plugins on the internet use an ugly syntax to search.

$.twitter.search({
   from: 'pablocantero',
   text: 'hello+world',
   container: 'myDivId'
});

Twitter Search Plugin is DSL based.

var tweets = new Twitter.tweets();
tweets.containing('hello')
   .and('world')
   .from('pablocantero')
   .limit(4)
   .order('recent')
   .all(function(data){
      alert('It’s a customized function to display the tweets');
   });

##Download it

The jQuery Twitter Search Plugin is available on GitHub github.com/phstc/jquery-twitter.
